We have carried out regression analysis using statistical

software (SPSS ver. 23) to decide what factors contribute how

much in the determination of abusive leadership. The quantification
of collected data from survey was carried out at first. The abusive
leader was decided on the basis of response of participants from
the direct and indirect abuse they faced in their organization by
their immediate supervisors. We took the following variables in
consideration.
Partiality from senior Management
Participation in decision making process
Questioning the supervisor on their decision
Abusive leadership and Partiality from senior management
The model was statistically significant as P value is close to
zero. The R squared value was 0.288, which means approximately
18.8% variation of abusive leadership was described by partiality
from senior management. The t-stat value is 5.067, which
suggested that the coefficient for the variable is very much apart
from 0. The Durbin Watson test has value of 2.057, which suggest
that the error deviations are unrelated.
The regression equation among abusive leadership (AS) and
partiality from senior management (partiality) is as follows.
AS = 0.026 + 0.368 * partiality
Abusive leadership and participation in decision making
process
The model was statistically significant as P value is zero. The
R squared value was 0.16, which means approximately 16%
variation of abusive leadership was described by participation in
decision-making process. The t-stat value is 4.326, which suggested
that the coefficient for the variable is very much apart from 0. The
Durbin Watson test has value of 2.156, which suggest that the
error deviations are unrelated.
The regression equation among abusive leadership (AS) and
participation in decision-making process (participation) is as
follows.
AS = 0.588 + 0.512 * participation
Abusive leadership and questioning supervisor on their
decision
The model was statistically significant as P value is close to
zero. The R squared value was 0.259, which means approximately
15.9% variation of abusive leadership was described by partiality
from senior management. The t-stat value is 5.101, which
suggested that the coefficient for the variable is very much apart
from 0. The Durbin Watson test has value of 2.176, which suggest
that the error deviations are unrelated.
The regression equation among abusive leadership (AS) and
questioning supervisor on their decision (question) is as follows.

AS = 0.586 + 0.375* question

Discussion
The variation in abusive leadership cited among various
organizations and by various age groups due to the above three
variables does not predict to hundred percent. The model requires
other variables in order to forecast the abusive leader. The result so
obtained is due to the moderate amount of data and survey
questions asked. Nevertheless almost 51% of causes of abusive
leadership is described by three variables taken into consideration.
There is further scope of study in determination of causes of
abusive leadership. Given the constraint of time and amount of
response obtained we have reached to the conclusion that the
variables taken in consideration in this study do contribute in the
development of abusive leader.
