Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the relationship conflict on the social undermining experience from the person who acts on this abrasive behavior point of view and who is treated with it, along with the role of gender demographic variable on this effect. The statistical population of this study were 243 employees of selected branches of Alborz Insurance Company in Tehran. Krejcie and Morgan table was used to determine the sample size. Reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed. The findings of this study showed that the relationship conflict has a direct and significant effect on the social undermining experience and abrasive behavior, and also by mediating abrasive behavior, it affects the experience of social undermining indirectly, that means, the conflict of relationship will result in employees behavior, who act on abrasive behaviors to reduce the effect of unfavorable conditions, this in turn has a negative effect on the audience of this behavior and provokes the experience of social undermining. However, the demographic variable of gender as a moderator does not affect the direct effect of relationship conflict on the experience of social undermining and abrasive behavior as well as the direct effect of abrasive behavior on the experience of social undermining.
