Abstract：From the perspective of‘StressorStrainOutcome’ and the social exchange theory, this study investigated the effect of abusive supervision on employee interpersonal deviance by focusing on the mediating role of job tension and the moderating role of selfcontrol. Based on the data collected from 229 employees in a large manufacturing company, it was found that abusive supervision, a kind of work stressor, had a positive effect on job tension and then on employee interpersonal deviance. Employ selfcontrol moderated the relationship between job tension and interpersonal deviance. High level of selfcontrol can weaken the direct effect of job tension on interpersonal deviance and the indirect effect of abusive supervision on interpersonal deviance.
