An abusive boss not only causes stress and strain at work, but stress and strain at home as well, U.S. researchers said.
Study co-authors Dawn Carlson and Merideth Ferguson of Baylor University in Waco, Texas, suggested as supervisor abuse — tantrums, rudeness, public criticism and inconsiderate action — heightens tension, an employee is less motivated or able to engage in positive interactions with a partner and other family members.
