标题：Understanding the Role of Creative Self-Efficacy and Power Distance Orientation for Examining the Consequences of Abusive Supervision on Employee Creativity: A Case Study from Nepal
摘要：The present study investigates the effect of abusive supervision on employee creativity. For this, a psychological cognitive factor such as creative self-efficacy and cultural value namely power distance orientation have been examined based on social cognitive theory. Results are gathered from a survey of 325 full-time employees from 17 companies covering six industries in the central and eastern development regions of Nepal. The results indicate that abusive supervision is negatively related to employee creativity and this relationship is fully mediated by creative self-efficacy. In addition, it is evident from our results that employees’ power distance orientation plays a moderating role. The direct effect of abusive supervision on creative self-efficacy and the mediating effect of creative self-efficacy are weaker when the power distance orientation is high rather than low. The implications of our study for both theory and practical are discussed.
