When and How Does High Pressure Supervision become Abusive?

如今，公共和私营部门的员工都被要求少花钱多办事。因此，工作团队主管面临着要求下属付出更多努力的压力。但是，什么时候这越过了界限，成为滥用监督？本项目建议制定和测试一个框架，从雇员的角度解释主管如何激励下属工作，同时避免被视为虐待。该项目包括三项研究，其结果旨在具有理论和实践意义，特别是帮助主管了解下属的行为，从而提高员工的福祉和组织的生产力。

Employees in both public and private sector organisations are today being urged to do more with less. Consequently work team supervisors are under pressure to demand more effort from subordinates. But when does this cross the line to become abusive supervision? This project proposes to develop and test a framework intended to explain, from an employee's perspective, how supervisors can motivate their subordinates to perform and at the same time avoid being seen as abusive. The project includes three studies whose results aim to have both theoretical and practical implications, and in particular to help supervisors to understand their subordinates' behaviours, leading to improved employee wellbeing and organisational productivity.
