title = "Abusive supervision: Perception or reality?",
abstract = "Empirical work on the concept of abusive supervision typically employs measurements of subordinates' perceptions of abuse as the primary dependent variable. This study investigates the notion that a significant proportion of subordinates' perceptions of abuse can be explained by individual differences in subordinates' attribution styles and their perceptions of the quality of their LMX relationships. Results indicated that subordinates' hostile attribution styles were positively related to subordinates' perceptions of abuse and that this relationship was mediated by LMX perceptions. Implications of these findings for the study and management of abusive supervision are discussed.",
