Abstract
Few studies have reviewed the mechanisms of ethical leadership and abusive supervision. Based on the review of the leadership literature of top journals in the past two decades, this paper summarizes the influencing mechanism and research perspectives of these two kinds of leadership. Previous studies have shown that ethical leadership has positive effects on employees and teams, while abusive supervision has negative effects on employees and team performance. However, existing literature mainly uses employees' self-concept, motivation, emotion, and other mediations to explain the influence of leadership on subordinates. This paper summarizes the main research perspectives of ethical leadership and abusive supervision. It sorts out the development background of two kinds of leadership research, which has a guiding role for follow-up research.
