Abstract：The present study examines the relationship between abusive supervision and self-efficacy in the Chinese graduate educational setting. We propose that advisor-student exchange mediates the relationship between abusive supervision and self-efficacy and team member support moderates the process that abusive supervision exerts negative influence on advisor-student exchange. Two hundred and twenty-six graduate students of a university in Beijing were sampled. Empirical results show that in Chinese graduate educational context, abusive supervision from the advisor has negative influence on graduate students’ self-efficacy, and advisor-student exchange in advising relationship partially mediates the negative relationship. Team member support moderates the negative association between abusive supervision and advisor-student exchange and team member support exacerbates this negative effect.
