상사의 비인격적 감독이 부하의 창의성에 미치는 영향과 동료로부터의 지식수혜 및 상사의 지적자극의 조절효과

There is a rising interest in the negative effect of abusive supervision and other variables that would decrease its negative effects as the level of abusive supervision is getting serious recently. In the present study, we examined the effects of abusive supervision on the employee’s creativity and suggest it could act as a regulating force between coworker’s knowledge sharing and superior intellectual stimulation in this relationship. In other words, we tested whether the negative effects of abusive supervision on the employee’s creativity would decrease as a result of coworker’s knowledge sharing and superior intellectual stimulation. A total of 247 workers participated in the survey and their responses were included in the analysis of the relationships among variables. The results of hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that individual perception of abusive supervision is negatively related to the employee's creativity. In addition, coworker's knowledge sharing and superior intellectual stimulation did moderate the relation between abusive supervision and the employee's creativity. These results suggest that the negative effect of abusive supervision has less impact on the employee’s creativity by increasing coworker’s knowledge sharing and superior intellectual stimulation. Based on the results of the study, we suggest both theoretical and practical perspectives.
