Abstract
Current economy needs employees who can make efficient utilization of resources. Organization cannot ignore the importance of
employee performance for an equivalent organizational performance. Although, researches proposed the point that negative behavior
by a supervisor can lead to workplace deviance but unfortunately, the mechanism of how supervisor mistreatment can be translated
into workplace deviance was unknown. Current study proposes that emotional exhaustion mediates the relationship between
workplace deviance and supervisor undermining. Supervisor undermining has been taken as a prominent type of workplace
mistreatment for many years along all other organizational behavior researcher attempting to argue that it exercises various negative
effects on employee attitudes and behaviors. Supervisor undermining, even if adopted as some strategy to get work done, always
fails badly in long run, as it might take employee to depths of helplessness and to lose their ability to give a viewpoint on anything.
First and primary implication of current study is managers responsibility to adopt strict rules against supervisor undermining. Current
study found an emotional perspective related to supervisor undermining validating detrimental and toxic effect on employee
emotions, that, in turn, leads to deviance
