We tested the model in 2 studies using multisource data: a 3-wave investigation of 184 full-time employees (Study 1) and a 2-wave investigation of 188 restaurant workers (Study 2). Results revealed that (a) abusive supervision mediated the relationship between aggressive norms and psychological distress, (b) psychological distress mediated the effects of abusive supervision on spouse undermining, (c) abusive supervision had a direct positive relationship with supervisor-directed deviance, (d) the positive relationship between psychological distress and spouse undermining was stronger for men as opposed to women, and (e) employees engaged in relationship-oriented occupations reported greater levels of abusive supervision and psychological distress. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.Keywords: adaptive behavior; adult; affect; aggression; article; employment; family conflict; female; human; human relation; male; mental stress; organization; organization and management; personnel management; Philippines; physiology; psychological aspect; role pl Abusive supervision; Aggressive norms; Interpersonal conflict; Psychological distress; Spouse underminingWhen distress hits home: The role of contextual factors and psychological distress in predicting employees' responses to abusive supervision201110.1037/a00215932016-02-24
