    RESUMEN Este estudio tuvo como objetivo examinar los efectos del género en las relaciones entre la supervisión abusiva y las cuestiones de salud mental, los conflictos familia-trabajo, así como el riesgo de consumo de alcohol. Un subconjunto de los datos de SALVEO (N = 2,058) se utilizó en este trabajo para realizar un análisis de regresión multinivel, controlando tanto los determinantes relacionados con el trabajo, como los no relacionados con éste. Los resultados mostraron que la supervisión abusiva se relacionó positivamente con la angustia psicológica y los conflictos familia-trabajo, pero no con el riesgo de consumo de alcohol. No se encontraron diferencias de género en nuestro estudio, a excepción de la angustia psicológica. Si se compara con los hombres, la supervisión abusiva tuvo un efecto negativo más fuerte sobre la angustia psicológica de las mujeres. Tanto los factores determinantes del trabajo, como los que no lo son, contribuyeron significativamente a desarrollar problemas de salud mental, conflictos trabajo-familia, así como al riesgo de abuso de alcohol. El estudio ilustra la importancia de utilizar un enfoque multinivel para examinar el impacto negativo de la supervisión abusiva.

    ABSTRACT This study aimed to examine gender effects on the relations between abusive supervision and mental health issues, work-family conflicts, as well as the risk of alcohol use. A subset of the SALVEO data (N = 2,058) was used in this paper to conduct multilevel regression analysis, controlling for both work and non-work related determinants. Results showed that abusive supervision was positively related to psychological distress and work-family conflicts, but not the risk of alcohol use. There were no gender differences found in our study, except for psychological distress. Comparing to men, abusive supervision had a stronger negative effect on women’s psychological distress. Both work and non-work determinants had significant contributions to mental health issues, work-family conflicts, as well as the risk of alcohol abuse. This study illustrated the importance of using multilevel approach to examine the negative impact of abusive supervision.
