Despite the growing research attention on the topic of abusive supervision, how abusive supervision affects individual and team creativity have not yet been thoroughly investigated. Drawn from the perspective of leader-member exchange (LMX), the current study develops a multilevel model to explore the relationships between abusive supervision and creativity at both team and individual levels, with a focus on the roles played by team-level leader-member exchange (TLMX) and LMX differentiation (DLMX). Based on multi-source data collected from 325 team members and their team leaders in 72 teams, the results show that abusive supervision has a negative relationship with TLMX, a practice that is conducive to both team and individual creativity. At the team-level, the negative relationship between abusive supervision and TLMX is lessened by a higher level of DLMX. In addition, the positive relationship between TLMX and team creativity is weakened by a higher level of DLMX. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

滥用监督，领导者成员交流和创造力：多层次考试

尽管对滥用监督的研究越来越受到关注，但滥用监督如何影响个人和团队的创造力尚未得到充分研究。从领导者-成员交换（LMX）的角度出发，当前的研究开发了一个多层次的模型来探索团队和个人层面上滥用监督与创造力之间的关系，并着重于团队级别的领导-成员所扮演的角色交换（TLMX）和LMX区分（DLMX）。基于从72个团队的325名团队成员及其团队负责人那里收集的多源数据，结果表明，滥用监督与TLMX有负面关系，这种做法既有利于团队又有利于个人创造力。在团队一级，更高级别的DLMX减少了滥用监管与TLMX之间的负面关系。此外，更高水平的DLMX削弱了TLMX与团队创造力之间的积极关系。讨论了这些发现的理论和实践意义。
