The hidden cost of abusive supervision: rudeness, sabotage, and ethics.
Article in BMC psychology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Abusive supervision in healthcare settings can have detrimental effects on employee behavior and patient care, making it crucial to understand the underlying mechanisms and mitigating factors. This study examines the impact of abusive supervision on patient-directed service sabotage, focusing on the mediating role of workplace rudeness and the moderating effect of work ethics. Data were collected from 305 hospital nurses, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the proposed model. The findings reveal that abusive supervision significantly increases workplace rudeness, which in turn escalates to service sabotage. However, strong work ethics were found to weaken the link between rudeness and sabotage, demonstrating their protective role in this negative cycle. The moderated mediation analysis further confirms that work ethics reduce the indirect impact of abusive supervision on service sabotage through rudeness. These results contribute to our understanding by illustrating how ethical standards can buffer against the negative consequences of abusive supervision, providing practical implications for enhancing leadership practices and promoting ethical behavior in healthcare environments.
