The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of supervisor’s characteristics on impression management and the moderation effect of perception of organizational politics. Using the survey research method, data were collected from 296 employees who were working in a variety of organizations in Korea. As results, supervisor’s power distance orientation, social face sensitivity, and agreeableness had positive relationships with supervisor’s impression management, and supervisor’s neuroticism had negative relationship with supervisor’s impression management. However, supervisor’s extraversion did not have significant relationship with supervisor’s impression management. The perception of organizational politics had moderation effect on the relationship between supervisor’s agreeableness and impression management. That is, the positive relationship between supervisor’s agreeableness and impression management was stronger when the perception of organizational politics was high rather than low. On the other hand, moderation effects of the perception of organizational politics on the relationship between supervisor’s power distance orientation, social face sensitivity, extraversion, neuroticism and impression management were not significant. Based on these results, we discussed the implications and limitations of the study, and the suggestions for the future research.

The study examines the relationship between leaders’ use of motivating language and their workers’ perceived interactional justice, that is, interpersonal and informational justice. The study also examines the influence of workers’ levels of power distance and uncertainty avoidance orientations on these relationships. We test the proposed model by conducting structural equation modeling using data from a sample of 505 participants. The findings show a positive relationship between leaders’ use of motivating language and their workers’ perceived interpersonal and informational justice. Furthermore, the study confirms our hypotheses that workers’ power distance orientation negatively moderates the relationship between leaders’ use of motivating language and workers’ perceived interpersonal justice and that workers’ uncertainty avoidance orientation negatively moderates the relationship between leaders’ use of motivating language and workers’ perceived informational justice.

PurposeThis study's purpose is to examine benevolent leadership's effect on employee silence, as moderated by perceived employee agreement on leader behaviors and cultural value orientations.Design/methodology/approachTwo-wave survey data were collected from 240 Chinese employees working in various industries. Hierarchical regression and simple slope analysis were used to test the hypotheses.FindingsBenevolent leadership was negatively related to employee silence. When perceived employee agreement on leader behaviors was high, employees with high power-distance orientation or low vertical individualism were more sensitive to benevolent leadership and engaged in less silence.Practical implicationsManagers are advised to exhibit benevolent behaviors to mitigate employees' tendency to remain silence. Organizations and managers can also design interventions to encourage employees with low power distance or high vertical individualism to speak up.Originality/valueThis study advances the understanding of the relationship between benevolent leadership and employee silence. By highlighting the moderating role of employees' perception of leader behaviors and their cultural value orientations, this study helps explain the conditions that when employees choose to keep silence or not.

This research aims to extend the literature on stress by exploring the relationship between incivility and employees' counterproductive work behavior (CWB). We investigate the mediating role of psychological distress (PD) to understand the relationship of family and workplace incivility with CWB. The study also evaluates the moderation effect of emotional regulation between incivility and PD. Analysis of three-wave lagged data (N=328), collected from bank employees in Pakistan, indicates that PD mediates the effect of family and workplace incivility on CWB and emotional regulation moderates the effect of family and workplace incivility on PD. Our findings highlight the fact that emotional regulation and PD are important mechanisms in the incivility–CWB relationship. The inclusion of these two constructs is a key to understanding the relationships among family incivility, workplace incivility, and work-related outcomes. The paper concludes with a discussion of theoretical and practical implications.

We investigated how employees respond to Machiavellian supervisors exerting ethical leadership. Participants were 252 matched supervisor–employee dyads, and we administered measures of supervisor ethical leadership, employee voice, employee power distance orientation, and supervisor Machiavellianism. Results revealed that Machiavellian supervisors' ethical leader behaviors were perceived to be genuine by subordinate employees, and that ethical leadership promoted supervisors' extrarole voice behaviors. Further, the effects of Machiavellian supervisors' ethical leader behaviors on employee voice were intensified in the particular organizational context of higher, versus lower, employee power distance orientation. Given the major finding that ethical leader behaviors demonstrated by Machiavellian supervisors were effective whether or not they were genuine, ethical leadership training and development are suggested to help promote desirable employee work behaviors, including voice.

Deviant behaviour in workplace has become an issue of concern in today’s corporate world. As a result of hard costs, the negative impact of deviant behaviour leaves a devastating effect on overall productivity and performance of the organization. We assumed that abusive supervision will be positively related to employee’s interpersonal and organizational deviance. Moreover, we also hypothesized that this relationship of abusive supervision with both interpersonal and organizational deviance will be moderated by power distance. We verified the formulated hypotheses using data collected from 256 mid-level managerial employees working in IT and software companies based in Delhi (India). Data analysis was done through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and moderated regression analysis. Results reveal significant and positive contribution of abusive supervision towards employee’s workplace deviance. Power distance orientation significantly moderates the relationship between abusive supervision and employee’s interpersonal and organizational deviance. The implications for the result obtained are discussed.
