Abstract Based on social hierarchical theory, a multiple time and multiple source data collection strategy was used to analyze and explore the mechanism and boundary conditions between followers’ upward dissent and supervisor undermining through paired data of 351 followers and supervisors. The results show that: followers’ upward dissent has a significant positive impact on supervisor undermining; supervisor perceived hierarchical threat mediates the relationship between followers’ upward dissent and supervisor undermining; supervisor humility not only negatively moderates the relationship between followers’ upward dissent and supervisor perceived hierarchical threat, but also negatively moderates the indirect relationship between followers’ upward dissent and supervisor undermining via supervisor perceived hierarchical threat.
