AB  - Purpose – Relying on the affective events theory, this study conceptualizes abusive supervision as a microaffective
event and tests a multilevel moderated mediation arguing that abusive behaviors from the supervisor
trigger negative affective reactions that, in turn, will enhance the likelihood of counterproductive work
behaviors (interpersonal and organizational). We further propose that mindfulness will shape how employees
react to abusive behaviors from supervisors.
Design/methodology/approach – A daily diary study conducted for five consecutive days was developed
with Portuguese working adults (N 5 176*5 5 880).
Findings – The multilevel findings showed that abusive behaviors triggered negative affect and this, in turn,
promoted both forms of counterproductive work behaviors. The indirect effect regarding interpersonal
counterproductive work behavior was moderated by mindfulness in such a way that the indirect effect was
stronger for those who scored lower on mindfulness (versus higher levels). The indirect effect on organizational
counterproductive work behavior was not significantly moderated by mindfulness.
Practical implications – The examination of mindfulness as a moderating factor contributes significantly to
management by delineating practical strategies to assist employees in effectively managing micro-events involving
abusive behaviors from supervisors. Consequently, these findings may inform the development of research-backed
strategies aimed at mitigating the affective and behavioral repercussions of an abusive supervisor.
Originality/value – The inclusion of mindfulness in the model is an added value.
