A Step towards Distinction between Supervisory Impulsive and Strategic Abuse

Abstract

In this article, the researcher proposed a theoretical frame work of supervisory impulsive and strategic abuse. So for majority of the literature had focused on the supervisory impulsive abuse and its effects on employee's personal and/or professional life while the supervisory strategic abuse have enormously been ignored in the literature. The theoretical frame work offered in this paper will help to identify the boundary line between these two sub-types of abusive supervision. The researcher tried to clarify, with the help of existing literature, boundaries among the sub-types of the construct of abusive supervision e.g. supervisory impulsive and strategic abuse and integrate it into a theoretical model that helps to understand the manifestation of supervisory abusive behaviour in terms of its strategic and impulsive abuse. Further its effects on employee's morale have also been discussed in its theoretical model. Future research directions have also been discussed in this paper.
