Supervisor incivility: study of white-collar Korean workers shows individuals with higher cognitive appraisal less likely to feel psychological distress

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

Researchers from Uzbekistan and Korea assessed the link between supervisor incivility and psychological distress among highly skilled employees in manufacturing companies. They found that individuals with higher “cognitive reappraisal” were less likely to suffer because they could reinterpret the supervisor behavior, whereas employees with lower levels of cognitive reappraisal suffered more psychological distress.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
