Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effect of conflict in the relationship between neuroticism and abusive supervision. In previous studies, neuroticism was considered to be an important predictor of abusive supervision. According to the research results, supervisors with high neuroticism are more likely to be abusive supervision. However, in some studies, there was no significant relationship between neuroticism and abusive supervision. Therefore, this study considered conflict as a environmental factor in the relationship between neuroticism and abusive supervision based on the Trait Activation Theory. The higher the level of conflict, the more likely it would be that there would be a positive relationship between neuroticism and abusive supervision, and a lower level of conflict would not have a significant relationship between neuroticism and abusive supervision. Therefore, this study hypothesized the moderating effects of conflict in the relationship between neuroticism and abusive supervision. In order to test this hypothesis, this study conducted a questionnaire survey on the employees who work in South Korea. The implications and limitations of the study and the direction of future research are presented in the conclusion.
