Purpose: This study examines the main effects of the supervisor's abusive supervision on the organizational citizenship behavior of subordinates toward colleagues, and then attempts to clarify that the perceived LMX variability of team members plays a moderating role in the meantime. Research design, data and methodology: First, we examine the effects of the supervisor's abusive supervision on the organizational citizenship behavior of subordinates in the team toward colleagues. Second, the degree of perceived LMX variability is measured to verify the moderating effect of abusive supervision on OCB toward coworkers. Results: By looking at abusive supervision through the LMX differentiation lens, the multilateral interaction between the leader and members will have a significant influence on the individual's behavior in the team. Conclusions: It is significant in that the scope of abusive supervision research has been expanded through the team level moderator of perceived LMX variability, away from the research on abusive supervision that was mainly discussed at the level of bilateral relations.
