“…We also administered the Ethical Climate Index (Almeida & Porto, 2019) with 18 items on a 5-point agreement scale, which is a translated and adapted version of the Arnaud (2010) scale. This scale has six factors with three items each: 1) Norms of Moral Awareness (α = .42, ω = .45); 2) Collective Moral Motivation (α = .84, ω = .84); 3) Focus On Self (α = .85, ω = .86); 4) Norms of Empathetic Concern (α = .64, ω = .74); 5) Focus On Others (α = .80, ω = .81); and 6) Collective Moral Character (α = .67, ω = .70).…”

Introduction: Ethical culture stands out as an important variable in comprehending ethical norms and ethical behaviour at work. The Corporate Ethical Virtues (CEV) Scale is a widely used measure of ethical culture in organisations. This study aimed to adapt and validate the CEV Scale to a Brazilian context. Method. In Study 1 (n = 1.219), the CEV Scale was trans-lated and adapted, the reliability and the internal structure were tested and the discriminant validity of ethical climate measures was demonstrated. In Study 2 (n = 635), measurement invariance in two groups was demonstrated, and there was evidence of validity based on the relationships with related constructs. Results. The results indicated that the Brazilian ver-sion of the CEV Scale showed reasonable psychometric properties and provided evidence of convergent and discriminant validity. Conclusion. This measure can be used by managers and consultants to diagnose ethical organisational culture.

PurposeThe purpose of this research was to investigate the influence of abusive supervision on work engagement, stress and turnover intention of subordinates. It was also proposed that work engagement and stress mediate the relationship between abusive supervision and turnover intention. Self-determination theory and the job demands-resources (JD-R) model provide the theoretical framework for the hypotheses.Design/methodology/approachThe sample of this study consisted of 172 employees from public and private companies operating in different sectors of the economy. The hypotheses were tested through multiple regression analysis.FindingsThe results show that abusive supervision negatively influences engagement and contributes to increasing subordinates' stress and turnover intention. The study also found that the relationship between abusive supervision and turnover intention is mediated by engagement, but not by stress.Research limitations/implicationsData was obtained from a convenience sample and cannot, therefore, be generalized.Practical implicationsThe study results suggest that employees are prone to leave an organization when they are subordinated to abusive leaders, corroborating the idea that workers choose organizations but leave their leaders. This, in turn, reinforces the importance of adopting proper leadership selection and training processes.Originality/valueThis research addresses the dark side of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, which has been scarcely examined in the Brazilian literature. It also draws attention to different harmful consequences associated with dysfunctional behaviors of professionals that hold leadership positions in organizations.
