AUTHOR=Zhu Jinqiang , Zhang Bainan TITLE=The Double-Edged Sword Effect of Abusive Supervision on Subordinates’ Innovative Behavior JOURNAL=Frontiers in Psychology VOLUME=10 YEAR=2019 URL=https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.00066 DOI=10.3389/fpsyg.2019.00066 ISSN=1664-1078 ABSTRACT=
Existing studies on the relationship between abusive supervision and innovative behavior do not present a united picture. Drawing up the antecedent-benefit-cost framework and social cognitive theory, we tried to explain the contradictory relationships between them based on the mediating mechanism. Results showed that abusive supervision discouraged subordinates’ innovative behavior through reducing subordinates’ psychological safety but promoted subordinates’ innovative behavior through enhancing challenge-related stress.
