Consistent with past research, the study found a positive relationship between abusive supervision and negative employee outcomes. However, regardless of the strong theoretical and empirical literature support for the moderating effects of intimidation and recognition on the direct relationship of abusive supervision and negative employee outcomes, empirical data did not reveal any moderating effects of the moderating variables, neither as a single construct nor as a combined construct. For the study, data has been collected through a convenient sampling technique from 443 professional employees in the telecommunications sector in Pakistan. The study contributes to the literature by focusing on the largely ignored subordinate's impression management tactic (e.g. intimidation) and the top management's recognition of the subordinate's job, on the relationship between abusive supervision and negative employee outcomes. Theoretical contributions and practical implications are discussed in the conclusion.

The author hypothesized that abusive supervision is positively related to job tension, emotional exhaustion, and turnover intention, higher the abusive supervision higher the job tension, emotional exhaustion, and turnover intention. Positive empirical support has been founded for the H1, H2, and H3. For this study the author has used convenience sampling technique for data collection and about 600 full time employees of Cellular firms have participated in the study. Implications of these results as well as avenues for future research are discussed.

So for majority of the literature had focused on the supervisory impulsive abuse and its effects on employee's personal and/or professional life while the supervisory strategic abuse have enormously been ignored in the literature. The theoretical frame work offered in this paper will help to identify the boundary line between these two sub-types of abusive supervision. The researcher tried to clarify, with the help of existing literature, boundaries among the sub-types of the construct of abusive supervision e.g. supervisory impulsive and strategic abuse and integrate it into a theoretical model that helps to understand the manifestation of supervisory abusive behaviour in terms of its strategic and impulsive abuse. Further its effects on employee's morale have also been discussed in its theoretical model. Future research directions have also been discussed in this paper.

This study is a conceptual and a literature review in nature, since the aim was to highlight and identify with the help of prior research the impact of Hofstede's cultural dimensions on the employees' perception of their supervisory abuse in a western and eastern cultural context e.g. Australia and Pakistan. The researcher with the help of literature review developed some propositions that show the impact of these cultural dimensions on employees' perception of abusive supervision in two different cultural contexts that can play a vital role in moderating employees' perception of supervisory abuse in a cross-cultural context e.g. Australia and Pakistan. The paper concludes that although abusive supervision exist in almost all countries and cultures but the intensity of abusive supervision and the subordinate's perception of their supervisory abuse is based upon their cultural values and norms which play an important role in shaping their perception regarding their supervisory abuse. The researcher has presented the Hofstede's cultural dimensions comparison table which distinguished these two countries e.g. Australia and Pakistan on multiple dimensions from each other and furthermore, it provide an important future research direction for an empirical investigation of subordinate's perception of supervisory abuse in these two countries e.g. Australia and Pakistan. Furthermore, study limitations and future research directions have also been discussed in this paper.

Grounded theory is one of the data collection approach in qualitative research methods which is totally based on data rather than try to emerge theory from data. There are bulk of books and research papers written by world renowned researchers and authors but the aim of this paper is to help the early stage researchers in conducting their projects in grounded theory approach. In this paper, the researcher has shed light on history of grounded theory, how this theory rather approach works, target population, sampling technique, data collection methods and the role of a researcher in this whole research process, and another essential part of a qualitative research, ethics which play a crucial role while conducting and gathering a qualitative data, have also been discussed in this paper.

The researcher developed a qualitative research methods chapter while conducting research on a phenomenon of abusive supervision. This paper will help the research students to analyse a phenomenon such as abusive supervision in context of its ontology, epistemology, theoretical perspective, methodology and methods. Furthermore, target population, sampling technique, data collection methods and the role of a researcher in this whole research process, and another essential part of a qualitative research, ethics which play a crucial role while conducting and gathering a qualitative data, have also been discussed in detail.

As, it is totally a new construct in the leadership domain. It has been introduced/developed in the recent organizational context in order to avoid the un-ethical and un-wanted practices by leaders within the organization. With the help of literature-review, the author has supported the argument that authentic leaders have positive affects on the employees' attitude and behavior which ultimately lead the organization towards the enhanced performance.
