基於工作投入與核心自我評價視角的辱虐管理與員工主動行為研究

Employee proactive behavior is vital to an enterprise＇s survival and development, which has been an emerging research field of employee behavior in the workplace. However, there are few studies to explore employee proactive behavior both in the contexts of Chinese enterprises and western enterprise, especially in the context of Chinese enterprises. Drawing on the self-determination theory and behavioral plasticity theory, this study presents a motivational model to examine the influence of abusive supervision on employee proactive behavior. The empirical results indicated that abusive su- pervision is significantly and negatively related to employee proactive behavior, and this relationship is fully mediated by employee work engagement. Specifically, abusive supervision decreases subordi nates＇ levels of work engagement, and consequently leads to less proactive behaviors. This study also found that core self-evaluations attenuate the main effect of abusive supervision and the indirect effect of work engagement on employee proactive behavior.
