224-1 Abusive Supervision and Employee Alcohol Usage: The Impact on Performance
We investigated whether abusive supervision perceptions and alcohol usage were related and what effect alcohol use had on supervisor perceptions of subordinate performance. Results point to the exacerbation effect of higher alcohol usage on performance in the presence of abusive supervision. We conclude with implications for theory and future research.

224-2 Anxiety as a Mediator of the Goal OrientationPerformance Relationship
Goal orientation framework was explored using structural equation modeling, with subjective and objective anxiety measures as mediators; these were mathematics anxiety and emotionality, respectively. Although results showed limited support for the models, findings provide the basis for further research on the incongruence between subjective and objective measures of anxiety.

224-3 China Versus the U.S.: Difference on Job Control and Interpersonal Conflict
We used both quantitative and qualitative approaches to investigate cultural-specific job stressors for Chinese and American employees. We found that lack of job control was an important stressor for Americans but not Chinese. Interpersonal conflict was important for both. However, the two cultural groups tended to have different conflict styles.

252-1 Self-Efficacy in Social Supports Moderating Effects of Stressor-Strain Relationships
Occupational research offers inconsistent findings on social supports moderating effects on the stressor-strain relationship. We contribute to this literature by using longitudinal data showing how social supports moderating effect is dependent on ones self-efficacy. Social support buffered the relationship with high self-efficacy and reverse buffered the relationship with low self-efficacy.
