Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The behavior described is an example of abusive supervision, which is characterized by sustained hostile behavior from a supervisor towards their subordinates, without physical contact. Trust propensity refers to an individual's willingness to trust others, bias suppression is the act of ignoring or minimizing biases, justification is providing a reason or excuse for behavior, and whistle-blowing is the act of reporting illegal or unethical behavior. None of these definitions match the behavior described in the question as closely as abusive supervision.
