Hi, I just want to compliment your chapter, you have some great and interesting information. I Just wanted to suggest using some more images to visually engage readers. Amazing work! - User:Nabila.Tursun (contribs)

Hello, I just wanted to pop on here and compliment your chapter! The section outlining the mental health issues was so clear and concise, which made it very easy to understand and read. I also appreciate the use of bullet points in the motivation section. It helped break up the paragraphs. - u3230383

Hi,

Great draft so far for 2023 topic! The topic of abusive supervision immediately reminded me of the hawthorne effect .

I thought you might be interested in some links that explain the phenomenon and how it might come into play in an abusive scenario.

As people tend to behave differently when under surveillance, it is an interesting aspect of control that the abuser may have just by being present or able to record the victim.

I hope that this is useful in your topic! Superghostfresh (discuss • contribs) 04:36, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Lara,

Firstly, you have made significant progress with your chapter. I have made minor changes to your 'Physical health symptoms', 'Why is abusive supervision important to understand?' and 'Characteristics and behaviours' section. Please do have a read of what I have done just incase it is not what you were after, just thought to give my opinion. Overall, I think what you have written is good, however, sometimes it does come across rather wordy, maybe keep this in mind when writing your final. I do understand this is still a draft and you may already be aware of these grammatical errors, just thought to help out. In addition, I do think you have a great topic to talk about, however, it honestly has a lot of headings. Maybe consider condensing it more so it can flow better? Or make a table for definitions (I am specifically referring to you 'Mental health issues' heading). Lastly, I like that you have focus questions in your overview, but having 5 questions seems like a lot. When I was reading your chapter, I had to go back to remember the questions. Think of 3 major ones, then sub-questions if you want to keep 5.

Good luck with your chapter and let me know if you have any questions regarding my changes or comments :) --Alice hatcher (discuss • contribs) 01:45, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Literature suggestions
Hi Lara

This topic is very relevant to all of us as we transition into workforce. When faced with abusive supervision, as concept or behaviour, one can't help but ask why a person may behave this way? I couldn't help but wonder whether abusive supervision is something that grows in particular work cultural environments and how much of it is predicted by social identity theory? I also wonder if it is something that is more likely to occur in collectivist or indvidualistic societies?

If you are interested in exploring cross-cultural differences, Ryan et al (2014) may be a good starting point. It looks at if abusive supervision behaviours are percieved as similalry unfair from subordinates from different cultures: Anglo and Asian cultures. This could potentially be tied in with your dotpoint on hierachical structures. Kernan et al 2011 also look at the influence of cultural values on the relatioship between abusive supervision, or workplace bullying and worker job attitudes.

It is a fascinating topic! All the best with your chapter.

 * I appreciate your insights on the subject, which I found to be quite valuable. I'm also interested in understanding the potential impact of an individual's environment on their propensity for abusive behavior. Lara.Begg (discuss • contribs) 13:55, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
