Abstract:

Supervision ostracism is a kind of workplace deviation behavior widely existing in all kinds of organization,in which subordinates perceive that they are ignored by their superiors at the workplace. Related studies have shown that it has serious negative impact on subordinates' job satisfaction and job performance. But there is lack of specific and system research on supervision ostracism in academics. This paper aims to analyze and summarize the concept and characteristic of supervision ostracism. Besides, on the basis of the model of Padilla's toxic triangle, we discuss the antecedent factors of supervision ostracism from three points of view:the supervisors, the subordinates and the context. Hopefully this research can provide an important theoretical reference and related practical work to follow-up studies.

Key words: supervision ostracism, power consciousness, empathy ability, political skill, toxic triangles
