“…Self-esteem as a buffer in behavioral plasticity theory Brockner's (1988) behavioral plasticity theory is of relevance here for its implications of selfesteem as a moderator in the stress appraisal and coping process (Wu et al, 2011). In this theory, behavioral plasticity is the extent to which individuals are affected by external stimuli: the more responsive the individuals are to the external stimuli, the more they are considered behaviorally plastic; self-esteem is a reflection of positive self-worth (Rosenberg, 1979) and is conceptualized as a trait that serves as a buffer against the impact of contextual stimuli in both the cognitive appraisal of the stimuli and the choice of coping mechanism against the stimuli.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the differential roles of self-esteem and co-rumination in the mediated relationship between abusive supervision and knowledge hiding via psychological safety. Design/methodology/approach The study used a three-wave time-lagged design and data were collected from 388 full-time employees in India. Findings The results show that psychological safety mediated the impact abusive supervision had on knowledge hiding. Further, this impact was weakened by higher self-esteem as employees with higher self-esteem were less affected by the impact of abusive supervision on psychological safety and knowledge hiding; but this impact was amplified by more co-rumination as employees who co-ruminated more were also more affected by abusive supervision in psychological safety and knowledge hiding. Research limitations/implications A cross-sectional design and the use of self-reported questionnaires are a few limitations of this study. Originality/value This study took a purposeful deviation from the traditional path of organizational justice to the study of abusive supervision and psychological safety and endeavored an alternate route, one of resource conservation. Further, employees have diverse reasons that heighten or dampen their inclination to hide knowledge from others in the workplace. The study examines co-rumination and self-esteem as possible boundary conditions.

“…Keke Wu, Chenwei Li et.al. conducted a study 'Role of Self-Esteem in the relationship between stress and ingratiation' (2011) 2 . The mediation model suggests that job-related stress lowered self-esteem, which in turn led to more frequent use of ingratiatory behaviors, lending full support for the hypothesis that self-esteem mediates the relationship between stress and ingratiation.…”

Every person goes through periods of low self-esteem at some stage in life, it’s unavoidable. Replacing this negative conditioning with more positive programming is critical to building a successful and harmonious life. Stress is perhaps the most common issue of man’s everyday life. Stress is so universal and widespread that it is considered as a hallmark of human life. Married women especially with responsibilities of job, children and ageing parents can particularly feel overwhelmed by stress of daily life and that might accentuate if women have lower esteem. Low self-esteem can lead to psychological effects that cause a person to be more susceptible to stressful situations. Conversely, high self-esteem can act as a sort of protection against high levels of stress. Individuals with low esteem tend to feel helpless, powerless, and incapable of overcoming the obstacles placed in front of them. People today suffer from stress in a range of situations. Stress is present in people’s lives and is believed to be the cause of psychopathologies, diseases, and inability to adapt to any given environment or work. Stress is considered a complex defensive-balancing mechanism of the body that develops in two stages: during the first stage, individuals assess the stressor and the demands stemming from it, and during the second stage, they evaluate whether or not they have enough resources to meet the stressor demands. The latter stage draws attention to the individual’s subjective assessment of the stressor, which conditions their reaction to it. Different people may react differently to the same stressor. The stress response refers to body reactions, which can either be physiological, emotional, or behavioral reactions to stimuli that cause stress.

“…Research on the antecedents of phubbing behavior remains in its infancy (David and Roberts, 2017). However, seminal research (Ehrenberg et al, 2008;Wu et al, 2011;Benvenuti et al, 2020) has claimed that a person with low or insecure self-esteem is more prone to adopt disrespectful behaviors, such as phubbing. Self-esteem threat refers to the risk of developing insecure feelings caused by external factors (Hong et al, 2012).…”

PurposeIn this study, the impact of boss phubbing, or using a phone during interaction with subordinates, on important employee outcomes — work meaningfulness and employee phubbing behavior — through the mediating role of self-esteem threat was investigated using affective events theory. The moderating role of rejection sensitivity was also examined.Design/methodology/approachData were collected in three time lags from head nurses (N = 178) working in public and private hospitals. The hypothesized relationships were tested using variance-based structural equation modeling with partial least squares.FindingsBoss phubbing negatively affected employees' sense of work meaningfulness and had a positive direct and indirect relationship with employee phubbing behavior through self-esteem threat. The hypothesized moderating role of rejection sensitivity was not supported.Practical implicationsThe authors recommend that organizations develop policies addressing boss phubbing in the workplace, particularly in contexts in which a high leader–member exchange is desired for organizational effectiveness, such as health-related services. Superiors, such as doctors, should review their mobile phone usage during interactions with subordinates because it is detrimental to employee outcomes.Originality/valueThis study is a nascent attempt to test the hypothesized relationships on the emerging phenomenon of phubbing at work in the human–computer interaction domain in Pakistan, a developing country, particularly in hospital settings where a high leader–member exchange is pivotal.
