Abstract
Based on the social comparison theory and moral cleansing perspective, and from the perspective of supervisors, this study explores the negative impact of abusive supervision by supervisors on their own. The results show that abusive supervision has a significantly positive impact on managers’ self-anxiety level. The perceived job demands of managers have a mediating effect between abusive supervision and managers’ own anxiety level. Emotional intelligence plays a negative regulatory role between abusive supervision and managers’ perceived job demands. Managers with high emotional intelligence can weaken the influence of abusive supervision on their perception of job demands, and vice versa. Emotional intelligence has a moderating effect on the mediating effect between abusive supervision and managers’ anxiety level. Managers with high emotional intelligence can weaken the mediating effect between abusive supervision and managers’ own anxiety level, and vice versa.
