abstract = {In general, supervisor abuse is directed toward lowperforming subordinates. Similarly, envy is typically felt by professionals in lower ranks toward those in higher positions. By contrast, this study investigates the counterintuitive relationship between the abusive
behavior of envious leaders toward their competent subordinates. Specifically, we argue that supervisors become envious of competent employees when they
are anxious about losing power. Multisource, timelagged data collected from dyads (198 supervisors and 198 subordinates) in Pakistan-based organizations support the proposed hypotheses. The findings show a positive
relationship between perceptions of subordinate competence, supervisors' downward envy, and abusive supervision. In addition, the relationship between
perceived subordinates' competence and supervisors' envy is strong when supervisors' power loss concerns
are high. This study provides useful theoretical and Practical insights for human resource managers dealing with unethical workplace behavior.},

The tests of these predictions rely on two studies, undertaken in Pakistan: a temporally separated field study using three-wave data (N = 219) and a scenario-based experiment (N = 118). The combined results indicate that employees feel guilty for remaining silent when they witness supervisor ostracism of other colleagues. The positive relationship between such observations of supervisor ostracism and silence behavior is more pronounced among employees who enjoy high-quality relationships with their supervisor. In addition to establishing key theoretical insights, this article alerts organizations to a critical mechanism (silence to avoid upsetting supervisors) by which employees' observations of how supervisors ostracize others can escalate into their own sense of guilt.},

abstract = {Abstract
Purpose - Extending the efforts of previous scholars, this study examines how abusive supervision
undermines employees' ability to meet performance expectations and propensity to engage in helping
behavior. Specifically, we investigate a hitherto unexplored mediating role of quality of work life (QWL) in this
relationship. We further suggest that employees' psychological resources, namely willpower and waypower,
act as protective shields against this harmful process.
Design/methodology/approach - We tested the proposed hypotheses using multisource (self- and
supervisor-rated) three-wave time-lagged data (N 5 185) collected from employees and their supervisors in
eight organizations that operate in the service sector of Pakistan.
Findings -The findings corroborate our predicted hypotheses. The results indicate that employees' exposure
to abusive supervision deteriorates their quality of work life (QWL), hindering their ability to deliver expected
performance and tendency to help other colleagues. However, this negative process is less pronounced for
employees who possess sufficient psychological resources of willpower and waypower.
Practical implications - This study provides valuable insights to organizations by explicating the process
that undermines employees' ability to channel their energies into performance-enhancing activities when
faced with humiliation from their supervisors.
Originality/value - This study details three previously unexplored factors that explain how and when
abusive behavior steers service sector employees away from meeting performance expectations and assisting
colleagues, via thwarting their quality of work life.},

employees with a low dispositional envy, who then exhibit greater victim-directed helping behaviors. By
contrast, employees with a high dispositional envy experience schadenfreude when observing ostracism,
prompting them to engage in further victim-directed ostracism themselves. Our findings provide important insights
into the catalytic role of dispositional envy in determining emotions that explains why the observation of a
coworker's social exclusion prompts a differential behavioral response.},

This study aims to investigate the relationship between employees' exposure to supervisor incivility and their engagement in insubordinate behavior, by detailing a mediating role of ruminations about interpersonal offenses and a moderating role of supervisor task conflict.
Design/methodology/approach
The research hypotheses were assessed with three rounds of data, obtained from employees and their peers, working for firms in various industries.
Findings
An important reason that employees' sense that their supervisor treats them disrespectfully escalates into defiance of supervisor authority is that the employees cannot stop thinking about how they have been wronged. The mediating role of such ruminations is particularly prominent when employees' viewpoints clash with those of their supervisor.
Practical implications
A critical danger exists for employees who are annoyed with a rude supervisor: They ponder their negative treatment, which prompts them to disobey, a response that likely diminishes the chances that supervisors might change their behaviors. This detrimental process is particularly salient when employee-supervisor interactions are marked by unpleasant task-related fights.
Originality/value
This study unpacks an unexplored link between supervisor incivility and supervisor-directed insubordination by explicating the pertinent roles of two critical factors (rumination and task conflict) in this link.},

Purpose
This study investigates how and when employees' exposure to organizational leaders who propose major changes might direct those employees toward efforts to mobilize support for innovative ideas. It specifically theorizes a mediating role of performance pressure beliefs and a moderating role of perceived organizational underperformance in this process.
Design/methodology/approach
Three-wave, multi-rater survey data were collected among employees and their supervisors across various industries.
Findings
A critical explanatory mechanism that links change-oriented leadership with enhanced championing efforts is that employees experience performance-related hardships. The extent to which employees perceive that their organization is unable to meet its own performance targets triggers this process.
Practical implications
For organizational decision makers, the findings identify results-driven pressures as key mechanisms by which employees' exposures to change-oriented leadership can be leveraged to promote novel ideas. This translation is more likely among employees who are convinced that there is significant room for organizational improvement.
Originality/value
This study unravels the previously unexplored link between change-oriented leadership and idea championing, pinpointing the influences of two performance-related aspects: beliefs about strenuous organization-induced performance expectations and perceptions of an underperforming employer.},

Results based on multisource data, collected among employees and their supervisors in Pakistani organizations, show that an important factor that underpins the connection between beliefs about broken organizational promises and a diminished propensity to finish work on time is that employees depersonalize organizational leaders. This mediating effect is mitigated by employees' religious faith. For organizations, this study thus identifies a key mechanism - exhibiting indifference to the people in charge - by which employees' frustrations about resource-depleting contract breaches may inadvertently escalate into ineffective time management, and it identifies some workers among whom this counterproductive dynamic is less likely, namely, employees who can draw from their religious faith.},

The findings, generated with the Process macro, affirm that (1) an important reason that instigated incivility translates into enhanced in-role and extra-role job performance is the instigators' desire to express guilty feelings and (2) this mediating role is especially prominent among employees who hold strong religious beliefs. For management scholars, this study's focus on incivility perpetrators provides an important complement to traditional considerations of incivility victims. For practitioners, it reveals how employees' own uncivil behaviors, somewhat counterintuitively, lead to enhanced performance outcomes and how religious faith serves as a catalyst of this process.},

Purpose
This study seeks to unpack the negative relationship between employees' political ineptness and their job performance, by proposing a mediating role of organization-induced emotional exhaustion and a moderating role of perceived organizational unforgiveness.
Design/methodology/approach
The research hypotheses were tested with three-round survey data collected among employees and their supervisors across multiple industry sectors.
Findings
Political ineptness diminishes the likelihood that employees undertake performance-enhancing work behaviors because they perceive that their employer is draining their emotional resources. This mediating role of organization-induced emotional exhaustion is particularly salient when they perceive that organizational authorities do not forgive mistakes.
Practical implications
This study reveals a critical risk for employees who find it difficult to exert influence on others: They become complacent in their job duties, which then might further compromise their ability to leave a positive impression on others. This counterproductive process is especially prominent if organizational leaders appear unforgiving.
Originality/value
This study contributes to extant research by explicating an unexplored mechanism (organization-induced emotional exhaustion) and catalyst (organizational unforgiveness) related to the escalation of political ineptness into diminished job performance},

With a foundation in social exchange theory, this study examines the relationship between servant leadership and three types of workplace mistreatment - bullying, incivility and ostracism - while also considering a mediating role of trust in the leader and a moderating role of the ethical climate.
Design/methodology/approach
Three time-lagged sets of data (N = 431) were collected among employees working in various sectors.
Findings
Servant leadership relates significantly to trust in the leader, as well as to workplace bullying, incivility and ostracism. In turn, trust in the leader mediates the relationship between servant leadership and all three types of workplace mistreatment. The results also indicate the presence of moderated mediation, in that the indirect effect of servant leadership on workplace mistreatment is moderated by the ethical climate.

This study accordingly pinpoints a prominent risk for employees who suffer from negative spillovers of work stress into the family domain, then make this situation worse by failing to meet organization-set performance expectations, which can generate even more stress.

Two-wave survey data collected from employees in Pakistan show that change-oriented citizenship activities increase to the extent that employees can draw on their personal resource of religiosity and perceive little adversity, measured in this study with respect to whether voluntarism is encouraged. Further, the relative usefulness of religiosity for spurring change-oriented citizenship behavior is particularly strong when employees experience high levels of this organizational adversity, because employees with high religiosity tend to believe that such behavior is more needed in these organizational contexts. For organizations, these results demonstrate that the energy derived from religiosity may stimulate voluntary efforts that invoke organizational change, and the perceived value of such energy allocation is greater when employees perceive organizational environments that provide little encouragement to go beyond formal job duties},

Also, IWE moderates the relationship of despotic leadership with the three outcomes, such that it heightens the negative impacts, because employees with a strong IWE find despotic leadership particularly troubling. A multi-source, two-wave, time-lagged study design, with a sample (303 paired responses) of
employees working in various organisations, largely supports these predictions. Despotic leadership and IWE relate
significantly to job performance, job satisfaction and psychological well-being in the predicted directions, except that there
is no significant relationship between IWE and job satisfaction. A test of moderation shows that the negative relationships
of despotic leadership with job outcomes are stronger when IWE is high. These findings have pertinent implications for theory, as well as for organisational practice.},

Purpose
With a basis in conservation of resources theory, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating role of championing behaviour in the relationship between employees' fear of terror and their job performance, as well as the buffering role of their passion for work, as a personal resource, in this process.
Design/methodology/approach
The tests of the hypotheses rely on three-wave, time-lagged data collected from employees and their supervisors in Pakistan.
Findings
An important reason that concerns about terrorist attacks diminish performance is that employees refrain from championing their own entrepreneurial ideas. This mediating role of idea championing is less salient, however, to the extent that employees feel a strong passion for their work.
Practical implications
For human resource managers, this study pinpoints a key mechanism - a reluctance to mobilize active support for entrepreneurial ideas - by which fears about terrorism attacks can spill over into the workplace and undermine employees' ability to meet their performance requirements. It also reveals how this mechanism can be better contained by the presence of adequate personal resources.
Originality/value

Quantitative data came from a survey of employees and their supervisors in Pakistani organizations.
Findings
Workplace ostracism relates negatively to job performance, but this relationship is weaker at higher levels of self-efficacy. The buffering role of self-efficacy is particularly strong among employees at higher job levels.
Practical implications
Organizations that cannot prevent some of their employees from feeling excluded by other members can counter the related threat of underperformance by promoting employees' confidence in their own skills and competencies. This measure is particularly useful among higher-ranking employees.
Originality/value
This study provides a more complete understanding of the circumstances in which workplace ostracism is less likely to diminish employees' job performance, by specifying the concurrent influences of workplace ostracism, self-efficacy and job level.},

Three-wave data from employees and their peers in Pakistani organizations show that an important reason that family incivility diminishes OCB is that employees become emotionally overextended by their work. Employees' waypower and willpower buffer this harmful effect of family incivility on emotional exhaustion though, such that this effect is mitigated when the two personal resources are high. The study also reveals the presence of moderated mediation, such that the indirect effect of family incivility on OCB through emotional exhaustion is weaker for employees high in waypower and willpower. For organizations, this study accordingly identifies a key mechanism by which family adversity can undermine voluntary behaviors; this mechanism is less forceful among employees who are more hopeful though.},

With a foundation in conservation of resources theory, the purpose of this paper is to unpack the relationship between employees' self-efficacy and job performance, investigating the mediating role of job-related anxiety and the moderating role of perceived workplace incivility.
Design/methodology/approach
Survey data were collected from employees and their supervisors in Pakistani organizations.
Findings
An important reason that employees' self-efficacy enhances their job performance is that they experience less anxiety while undertaking their daily job tasks. This mediating role of job-related anxiety is particularly salient to the extent that employees believe that they are the victims of uncivil behaviors.
Practical implications
Organizations should note that the anxiety-mitigating effect of self-efficacy is particularly strong for generating adequate performance to the extent that rude and discourteous behaviors cannot be completely avoided in the workplace.
Originality/value
This study establishes a more complete understanding of the benefits of employees' self-efficacy by revealing how reduced worries about their organizational functioning represent critical mechanisms that connect this personal resource to higher job performance, as well as by showing how employees' perceptions of workplace incivility invigorate this process.},

This study investigates the relationship between employees' perceptions of the threat of terrorism and job performance, as well as a potential mediating effect of job-related anxiety and a moderating effect of religiousness on this relationship. Multisource, time-lagged data from employees and their supervisors in Pakistan reveal that an important reason that perceived threats of terrorism diminish job performance is the anxiety that employees experience at work. Employees' religiousness buffers the negative effect of perceived threats of terrorism on job-related anxiety though, such that the relationship is mitigated when their religiousness is high. Finally, the results indicate the presence of moderated mediation: the indirect effect of perceived threats of terrorism on job performance is not as strong at higher levels of religiousness. In external environments in which terrorism presents a credible threat, organizations can therefore consider the religiousness of their employees as a resource for countering their anxiety.},

abstract = {We explore how negative interpersonal behaviors such as workplace incivility and ostracism impact employee performance. We suggest that although these behaviors are considered indirect and less explicit as compared to bullying and harassment, they can have a highly damaging impact on employee performance. Incivility and ostracism can cause anxiety or emotional distress among the victims, which in turn may lead to reduced performance. In addition, we suggest that Psychological Capital (PsyCap) as a personal resource can help mitigate the negative impact of incivility and ostracism. Based on the Conservation of Resource (COR) theory, we conducted two studies using a multi-source, time-lagged design to test our hypotheses. The results of both studies supported our contention that incivility and ostracism lead to reduced performance. While anxiety mediated the relationship between incivility and performance, emotional exhaustion mediated the relationship between ostracism and performance. PsyCap moderated the mediated links in both studies},

Using time-lagged multi-wave and multi-sources (self- and supervisor-reported) data (N = 208) from employees in service sector supported our predictions. Results indicated workplace incivility arouses anxiety, which in turn leads to decline in job performance. PsyCap reduces the harmful effects of incivility such that the relationship between incivility and anxiety is weaker when PsyCap is high, Similarly, the indirect effects of incivility on job performance through anxiety are dampened for those with high PsyCap. We discuss implications and significance of the findings of our study and provide directions for future research."},
