Why abusive bosses are the most morally conscious employees

Is your boss a beacon of moral aptitude? Then chances are they could yell at you sometime soon.

In a study published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, a link has been made between morally conscious bosses and regularly yelling at employees.

According to the study from the University of Michigan, bosses who act in an ethical way feel this good behaviour gives them a pass to yell at employees.

“In the workplace, for example, it has been found that acting consistent with rules and norms pertaining to procedural fairness and vigilantly monitoring for potential problems are especially depleting,” explained the study.
