Abstract
Based on the conservation of resources theory this paper explores the mediating effect of perceptions of organizational politics on the relationship between abusive supervision and employee silence. We also explore the moderating effect of leader-member exchange in the relationship between abusive supervision and perceptions of organizational politics. In total, 560 junior employees were sampled through questionnaire. The results indicated that perceptions of organizational politics mediated the relationship between abusive supervision and employee silence. In addition, leader-member exchange moderated the relationship between abusive supervision and employee silence. It was also found that abusive supervision demonstrated a stronger positive influence on perceptions of organizational politics for those who have a poor quality of leader-member exchange.

辱虐管理和员工沉默：组织政治知觉的中介作用和领导成员交换的调节作用
本文基于资源保存理论探索了“组织政治知觉”在“辱虐管理”和“员工沉默”关系中的中介作用，同时研究了领导成员交换在辱虐管理和组织政治知觉关系中的调节作用。共计560名初级员工接受问卷调查，结果验证了组织政治知觉的中介作用和领导成员交换的调节作用。此外，对领导成员交换质量较差的员工而言，辱虐管理对组织政治知觉有更强的正向影响。
