How can abusive leadership be controlled?

Abuse in the guise of leadership is often the consequence of a lack of emotional management and
leadership abilities. Because they lack the ability to provide constructive feedback, they choose to
criticize others harshly; because they lack the ability to control their impulsivity, they throw temper
tantrums in the office when stressed; and because they lack an effective influence strategy, they
persuade others through aggression, threats, and pressure.

They need proper leadership training in order to exert control over abusive leadership. By teaching them
proper communication skills for influencing others and providing feedback, they will be less likely to
default to abusive tactics; by teaching them about emotional intelligence, they will be able to access
appropriate emotion regulation strategies and how to react to difficult situations.

Abusive actions are often the outcome of a power imbalance, in which the leader has more authority
and resources than the member. Abuse may be more severe when the supervisor has total control over
the followers' objectives and resource requirements. As a result, it is critical for the employee to reclaim
control of the relationship in order to interrupt the abusive cycle.

To obtain authority, you must first demonstrate your worth inside the team, since the abuser will not
want to lose key team members. Make your contribution critical to the team's success. Rather of
depending only on your supervisor for resources to complete your job, attempt to develop connections
with those on and off the team to produce necessary work resources for yourself.

Secondly, forge alliances inside the work group. As with other types of abusers, an abusive boss seeks to
isolate the victim at work in order to ensure that no one is on the victim's side when the abuse occurs.
To disrupt the cycle of abuse, recognize the critical nature of creating coalitions among colleagues and
developing an expanded network inside the company.

How does Metro, as an organization, deal with such employee deviances and maintain positive
workplace behavior?

METRO personnel want to maintain a balance, or are constantly comparing, between "what they offer"
to the organization and "what they get," and base their satisfaction with their own balance on their
colleagues' impressions of the same balance.

In far simpler terms, workers get demotivated, both toward their job and toward their company, when
they believe their "inputs" outweigh their "outputs."

The "inputs" or contributions made by workers to businesses may be quantified using a variety of
variables, including time, loyalty, effort, tolerance, flexibility, excitement, personal sacrifice, and trust.

While "outputs," or what workers anticipate in return, include compensation, job stability, and typical
employee perks, outputs may also include less tangible qualities such as praise, a feeling of
accomplishment, acknowledgment, and gratitude.

In what ways can an organization promote healthier employee leadership relations?


One of your primary responsibilities as a leader is to manage employee relations inside your firm.

Maintaining solid relationships between leader and staff is critical to any company or organization's
success. Strong employee relations may result in increased employee satisfaction, increased
productivity, and a more motivated workplace. Developing and maintaining excellent employee
relations may assist you in creating a healthy work environment.

Avoid micromanagement

When you micromanage, you create the impression that your staff are incapable of doing their jobs. This
has a detrimental influence on their productivity and sense of self-worth.

Allowing team members to plan their own work hours is an easy approach to offer them some power.
Sling software, for example, enables you, the manager, to configure the timetable so that your workers
may work when they wish.

Accept Diversification

If you want great employee/employer relations and a successful organization, recruit a diverse team.
Diversification at work has the additional benefit of promoting:

Increased staff productivity

A broader variety of abilities, abilities, and experience

Adhere To An Open-Door Policy

Maintaining an open-door policy is an excellent method to begin developing employee/employer


interactions. When members of your team feel comfortable approaching you with problems, questions,
and fresh ideas, a natural give-and-take occurs. This therefore benefits your employee/employer
relationship.

Access to a bigger customer base via creative innovation.

Face-to-Face Communication With Your Employees.

Allow your dependence on digital communication tools such as email, texting, instant messaging, and
webcams to not get in the way of in-person, face-to-face connection. Communicate directly with your
staff. Provide them with tasks in person rather than over email.

Engage your team members in intimate talks to ascertain their current state of mind. Your connection
will improve when you are physically present in the lives of your team members.

Delegate

When you delegate, you allow staff to have an understanding of your obligations. This teaches them
about the company and helps you all identify the team's strengths and limitations.

Create Development Plans for Employees


Create an employee development plan for each team member in conjunction with their performance
reports. This demonstrates to your staff the route to success and assures them that you, as their boss,
are on their side.

What effect does employee moral identity have on their positive workplace behavior?
A person with a strong moral identity may place a higher premium on principles and ideals (such as
being honest, fair, or a nice person) than someone with a weak moral identity does. Morality is a critical
component of a human being since it contributes to the formation of the ethical basis that each human
being has. Whether to be good or evil, honest or deceptive are just a few of the characteristics that
morality assists us in developing.

When moral identity is strong, workers are more capable of identifying ethical information and
regulating their activities to adhere to ethical standards. They will evaluate the organization's long-term
goals and limit their desire to engage in immoral pro-organizational behavior.
