Abusive Leadership and Employee Creativity: The Effect of Employee Self-concept

Abstract

Abstract:

The current study tests the impact of abusive leadership on employee creativity, especially to explore the mediating role of follower creative self-efficacy between abusive leadership and employee creativity, and the moderating role of follower organization-based self-esteem. Using a sample of leader-follower dyads from a high-tech enterprise in mainland China, The results indicate that: (1) abusive leadership is significantly and negatively related to employee creativity, (2) creative self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between abusive leadership and employee creativity, (3) follower organization-based self-esteem plays a moderating role between abusive leadership and employee creativity. Discussions, implications and future research are put forward finally.

Key words: abusive leadership, creative self-efficacy, organization-based self-esteem, employee creativity
