Abstract

There is emergent concern about the association of abusive supervision and team performance in recent years, but very few researchers have focused on the intervening mechanism between them. By eroding workplace productivity, efficiency, and general morale, an abusive relationship between a boss and an employee can have a detrimental effect on economic growth. In Pakistan, research on such mediating mechanism between abusive supervision and team performance is approximately blank. In this research paper, we focus on finding the relationship between abusive supervision and team performance, the mediating role of individual efficacy between abusive supervision and team performance by analyzing the sample of 154 teams working in different banks of different areas of Punjab using the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS SEM), and we draw two conclusion from our study that abusive supervision influence the team performance and individual efficacy mediate the relationship between abusive supervision and team performance. Due to individual efficacy, team performance can be increased despite of presence of abusive supervision in organization. In this paper we show relationship of abusive supervisor indirectly effect the team performance through individual efficacy. The data collection through questioner with use of Likert scale and for statistical testing use Smart PLS for testing Construct validity and Reliability and Structured Equation Modeling. Study indicated that individual efficacy shows the relationship between abusive supervision and team performance. Structural equation modeling result also show that individual efficacy mediate the relationship between abusive supervision and team performance.
