“…This finding implies that perceived abusive supervisor behavior and perceived supervisor dispositional awe interact to play an essential role in how followers evaluate their level of creative self-efficacy, which guides their creative performance. As leader profiles indicate the ability for leaders to simultaneously demonstrate positive and negative leadership characteristics (Isaacson, 2012 ; Fiset et al, 2019 ; Hentrup et al, 2019 ), these findings make an essential contribution to the literature, enabling us to understand better how such interactions influence creative performance.…”

“…The current study builds upon prior work (Fiset et al, 2019;Hentrup et al, 2019) to examine the interaction between perceived abusive supervisory behavior and perceived supervisor dispositional awe on follower creative self-efficacy and creative performance. Our results revealed that perceived abusive supervisory behavior negatively predicted employee creativity, and creative self-efficacy fully mediated this relationship.…”

“…Leaders tend to exhibit inconsistent behavior toward their employees: they can be abusive and exude awe simultaneously (Fiset et al, 2019 ). However, despite the existence of this phenomenon, few studies have explored the interaction between these seemingly opposite leadership characteristics.…”

“…However, recent findings by Fiset et al ( 2019 ) have challenged the notion that inconsistent leadership behavior can not coincide with influencing employee perceptions. Their results showed that leaders could simultaneously demonstrate both abusive supervisory behavior and leadership vision to influence task performance (Fiset et al, 2019 ). The objective of this study was to explore other conflicting leader behaviors that influence employee creative self-efficacy and employee creativity.…”

The study examined the responses of employees to supervisors who exhibited abusive behavior and invoked dispositional awe to influence their followers. The proposition is that two divergent predictors of supervisor effectiveness interact to affect the behavior of subordinates. The purpose of this study was to examine the interactive effect of perceived abusive supervisory behavior and perceived supervisor dispositional awe on employee creative self-efficacy and creativity. To test the proposed model, we collected cross-sectional data from 196 working professionals pursuing their Masters of Business Administration (MBA) at a large university in China. Our findings confirmed that perceived abusive supervisory behavior and perceived supervisor dispositional awe were predictors of employee creativity. Also, perceived supervisor dispositional awe moderated the relationship between perceived abusive supervisory behavior and employee creative self-efficacy. The theoretical and practical implications for leaders and organizations were discussed.

SummaryWhile most research emphasizes the harmful effects of abusive supervision, we argue that certain contextual factors—specifically hazardous work environments and supervisor gender—may lead abusive supervision to be perceived as driven by performance promotion intentions as opposed to injury initiation intentions. We introduce the concept of Safety‐Specific Abusive Supervision (SSAS), which we define as the extent to which a supervisor's active response to safety incidents is perceived by employees as abusive. Drawing from event system theory and research on attributions of abusive supervision, we theorize that when supervisors engage in SSAS, employees are more likely to attribute their behavior to performance promotion rather than injury initiation, perceiving the supervisors' actions as a means to keep them safe rather than to cause harm. We predict that performance promotion attributions mediate the relationship between SSAS and safety performance outcomes, namely safety voice and perceived supervisor safety commitment. However, consistent with role congruity theory, we hypothesize that this relationship is only true for male supervisors and not for female supervisors. Across three studies (two experimental studies and one field study), we largely find support for our hypotheses.
