Organizations are increasingly depending on their employees to contribute suggestions aimed at enhancing organizational processes, boosting overall efficiency, and fostering innovation. However, some factors might hinder employees from expressing their thoughts. While there is evidence suggesting an effect of supervisor social undermining behavior on employee voice, the impact on innovative types of voice, specifically promotive voice, remains uncertain. This study aims to explore the association between supervisor social undermining and employee promotive voice. Moreover, this research investigates how employee perceptions of procedural justice moderate this relationship, utilizing the Conservation of Resources theory. Data were collected from 115 highly skilled employees, and hierarchical regression analysis was employed to assess the proposed hypotheses. The findings suggest that when individuals encounter social undermining behavior from their supervisor, they are less inclined to engage in promotive voice behavior. Interestingly, the results indicate that this relationship becomes stronger when individuals possess higher perceptions of procedural justice. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to investigate the impact of supervisor social undermining on promotive voice while considering procedural justice as a moderator in this relationship. The findings of this study suggest several theoretical and practical implications and provide directions for future research.

In the contemporary landscape of organizational dynamics, it is imperative to understand the nuance of social undermining behaviors in the workplace for effective strategy and decision‐making. In this regard, this study reviews, identifies, and critically evaluates the social undermining literature and offers new avenues for future research. The systematic literature review methodology has been used to select and critically review 65 studies on this topic. The analysis and findings of this review are presented in three sections, as follows, (i) research profiling—to highlight the current status of research on social undermining in management literature, (ii) literature synthesis—to highlight key theories and conceptions of social undermining as well as discuss the antecedents and outcomes of social undermining, and (iii) critical analysis—to highlight knowledge gaps in existing research and set future agenda. This review is the first comprehensive review on social undermining at the workplace and serves as a knowledge base by presenting a comprehensive literature review as well as extending further development of knowledge on this topic. A key contribution of our review is the proposal of a comprehensive framework of literature synthesis to provide a bird's eye view on this scholarly domain. Our study contributes to organizational behavior and strategic management discourse by offering crucial insights on human dynamics that shape organizational strategy, and change.

Le dénigrement social en milieu de travail a fait l’objet de nombreux travaux dans les dernières années en raison de ses effets délétères sur la santé, les attitudes, et la performance des employés. La recherche a pourtant très peu abordé les effets que le dénigrement social peut exercer sur l’engagement organisationnel des employés. De plus, le dénigrement exercé spécifiquement par le superviseur a encore moins été examiné dans la littérature en lien avec l’engagement des employés. L’objectif de cette étude est d’examiner les liens entre le dénigrement par le superviseur et trois formes d’engagement, soit l’engagement affectif, l’engagement normatif, et l’engagement de continuité. Par ailleurs, nous adoptons une approche contingente en considérant deux modérateurs importants dans ces relations, soit l’auto-accusation ou l’attribution interne par l’employé de la cause du dénigrement, et le statut organisationnel perçu du superviseur. Sur la base d’un large échantillon d’employés (N = 1 003) provenant de diverses organisations, notre étude révèle que le dénigrement par le superviseur exerce un effet négatif sur l’engagement affectif des employés mais n’a pas d’effet sur l’engagement normatif ou de continuité. De plus, les résultats indiquent que l’effet du dénigrement sur les trois composantes d’engagement est significativement atténué lorsque l’employé s’auto-attribue la responsabilité du dénigrement. De même, les résultats montrent que l’effet du dénigrement sur l’engagement affectif et l’engagement normatif est négatif et significatif seulement lorsque le statut organisationnel perçu du superviseur est élevé. Ces résultats sont discutés dans la perspective d’une approche contingente des effets du dénigrement par le superviseur sur l’engagement des employés.
