Abstract

<jats:p>Grounded on the conservation of resource theory and deontic theory of justice this study anticipated a model that examines the Observer reactions to abusive supervision that links to feedback avoidance and silence towards the supervisor. A physical and online survey was conducted, collecting data from approximately five hundred healthcare professionals in South Punjab. Observed abusive supervision shows a positive association with feedback avoidance and silence towards supervisors the moderating effect of social support reflected in such conditions of facing abusive supervision employees are looking for social support so social support moderates the indirect effect of observed abusive supervision on silence towards supervisor via feedback avoidance such that the indirect effect will be weaker when a high level of social support. We conclude our findings for research on observed abusive supervision, feedback avoidance, silence towards the supervisor, and social support.</jats:p>
