In this study, we propose and test a mediation model to explore the effect of team identification, team negative affectivity and team cohesion on abusive supervision climate and team task performance. Using a sample of 48 dyads of employees and their immediate supervisors (N = 192) from nineteen companies and two industries in China, we find that there is a negative relationship between abusive supervision climate and team task performance. Moreover, the results indicate that team identification, team negative affectivity and team cohesion mediate the relationship between abusive supervision climate and team task performance. Theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and future research directions are discussed.
