| Abstract: | Determined whether distribution of rewards by student supervisors in an industrial simulation was influenced by a situation in which a member of the work crew repeatedly disparaged their competence. Ss were 60 male undergraduates. Disparagement did not appear to affect the supervisor's allocation of rewards to an ingratiator, but it did result in a tendency to favor a compliant worker who was not an ingratiator. Under circumstances where he found himself the object of denigration by a subordinate, the supervisor gave the compliant worker higher creativity ratings on toy models designed during the simulation than he did in the control condition of the experiment.
