To step-in or to stand-by: Third party responses to abusive supervision

在澳大利亚，滥用监管的代价高昂。对于不是虐待直接目标的第三方的经历，人们知之甚少。事实上，有很大一部分被目击的主管虐待行为没有被报告。本项目采用多方法方法，开发并测试了一个模型，该模型解释了第三方对监督滥用的反应。除了推进理论外，还开发了基于证据的干预措施（包括行动工具包），以授权第三方通过参与建设性行动来打击监督者的滥用行为。总体而言，研究结果旨在为组织提供可行的见解，以鼓励员工采取积极主动的立场，反对滥用监管。

Abusive supervision is costly in Australian organisations. Little is known about the experiences of third parties who are not direct targets of abuse. Indeed, a large percentage of supervisor abuse that is witnessed goes unreported. Using a multi-method approach, this project develops and tests a model that explains third party responses to supervisor abuse. In addition to advancing theory, an evidence-based intervention (including an action tool kit) is developed to empower third parties to combat supervisor abuse by engaging in constructive action. Overall, research outcomes will aim to provide actionable insights into what organisations can do to encourage their employees to take a proactive stance against abusive supervision.
