This study examines the mediating effect of Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) in dealing with disliked supervisors in one of the Japanese manufacturing plants.Amid the social issue of workplace bullying, it explores how the disliked behaviors and characteristics of supervisors affect subordinates' conflict management and how LMX mediates this relationship.As a result, the mediating effect of LMX was confirmed.Arrogant supervisors, akin to workplace bullying, promote submissive responses while suppressing harmonious and assertive responses.On the other hand, a disliked but competent boss encourages harmonious, positive, and submissive responses, while disagreements with a disliked or weak boss lead to unresolved conflict and neglect.

This study examines the influence of the selection of screening tests and cut-off scores on the prevalence of gambling disorders by simultaneously administering several tests to the same sample. The survey was conducted online in 2021, with 2,000 respondents distributed equally across two prefectures in Japan. Four screening tests were administered simultaneously: the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS), Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI), Lie/Bet questionnaire, and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5). The prevalence at the original cut-off scores was markedly different, with the SOGS (10.3%) showing the highest prevalence and the DSM-5 (3.8%) showing the lowest prevalence. Adjusting the cut-off score from 5 to 4 for the SOGS increased prevalence by 2.9%, while changing the PGSI cut-off score from 8 to 7 only increased it by 0.5%. This is the first study in Japan to simultaneously compare the scores for multiple screening tests and cut-off scores regarding gambling disorders. The SOGS screens more individuals with a possible gambling disorder than other measures, and altering the cut-off score significantly affected its prevalence. Selecting appropriate screening tests and cut-off scores is crucial to accurately assessing the prevalence of possible gambling disorders.
