THE ROLE OF TEAM GOSSIP IN MITIGATING THE DETRIMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF TEAM ABUSIVE SUPERVISION

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

We draw upon social functional theory of gossip to theorize that team gossip buffers the harmful effects of team abusive supervision on team performance and team voluntary turnover via a dual-path mechanism: aggressive team norms and affective team trust. To test our hypotheses, we conducted a multi-wave, multi-source field study with a sample of 111 work teams. The results largely supported our model, showing that team members' negative gossip about the abusive team leader is a powerful tool to mitigate abusive supervision's detrimental consequences for team effectiveness.
