Abstract
Drawing on models of competing values and self-verification theory, this article proposes that social dominance orientation (SDO) and psychological collectivism (PC) represent contrasting values that motivate opposing workplace interpersonal behaviors. SDO values are hypothesized to motivate interpersonal deviance and the avoidance of interpersonal citizenship as these behaviors verify social dominance as a guiding self-principle. PC values are hypothesized to motivate behaviors that verify collectivism as a guiding self-principle, including interpersonal citizenship and the avoidance of interpersonal deviance. Further, drawing on the values activation literature, abusive supervision is hypothesized to moderate the values-to-behavior relationships. In a cross-organizational sample of 490 working adults, SDO was positively related to interpersonal deviance and negatively related to interpersonal citizenship. Highly abusive supervision strengthened, whereas minimally abusive supervision weakened relationships with SDO. PC values were positively related to interpersonal citizenship, but were unrelated to interpersonal deviance and did not interact with abusive supervision.
