Our study examines the impact of abusive supervision on affective organizational commitment (AOC). The study further examines work engagement (WENG) and job satisfaction (JSAT) as mediating mechanisms in the relationship between abusive supervision and AOC. The aforesaid hypothesized relationships were tested utilizing data gathered from frontline employees in upscale hotels in two waves in Ghana. We tested the hypothesized relationships using structural equation modeling. The findings reveal that abusive supervision is not significantly related to AOC. However, the findings demonstrate that WENG and JSAT fully mediate the relationship between abusive supervision and AOC. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.

Our paper develops and tests a research model that proposes that job satisfaction (JSAT), career satisfaction (CSAT) and work engagement (WENG) mediate the effect of psychological contract breach (PCB) on affective organizational commitment (AOC). Data were collected from small-sized hotel employees who occupy frontline positions in three waves in four cities in Ghana. The hypothesized linkages were assessed via structural equation modelling. The empirical data confirmed all the hypothesized relationships. Specifically, PCB had a negative impact on AOC. Additionally, JSAT, CSAT and WENG mediated the effect of PCB on AOC. Discussion of implications of the findings are included in the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
