Abstract
Drawing on Conservation of Resources theory (COR. Hobfoll, 1989), the purpose of this
study was to further our understanding of the relationship between abusive supervision and
burnout by testing the moderating effects of subordinates' neuroticism and time spent with
the supervisor. Data collected from two samples showed that there was a positive and
significant relationship between abusive supervision and burnout. When considering only the
primary moderator, subordinates' neuroticism, on the relationship abusive supervision and
burnout, the perception of abusive supervision on burnout was not influenced by any level of
subordinates' neuroticism. When considering the primary moderator (subordinates'
neuroticism) and secondary moderator (time spent with the supervisor) on the relationship
between abusive supervision and burnout, results from Sample 2 only found a significant
three-way interaction between abusive supervision, subordinates' neuroticism, and time spent
with supervision that was operationalized as time spent interacting with the supervisor in
hours per week. Specifically, the positive relationship between abusive supervision and
burnout was strongest when subordinates were high neuroticism and they interacted with
their supervisor for more than 9.45 hours a week. Practical implications, limitations and
future directions are discussed.
