Abstract

Drawing upon the literature on abusive supervision and family planning, we explored how and when abusive supervision was associated with employee reduced procreation intention and subsequent birth control behavior. We found that abusive supervision was negatively related to state self-esteem and anticipated family-supportive supervisor behavior, which, in turn, led to reduced procreation intention and increased birth control behavior. In addition, employees who attribute abusive supervision to themselves are more likely to experience reduced self-esteem in reaction to the abuse, whereas employees who blame their supervisors for the abuse tend to expect lower levels of family-related support from their supervisors in the future. Our research extends the abusive supervision literature from a multi-generational perspective and reveals that abusive supervision could have substantial and long-lasting influences on employee family planning.
