A study of the employees’ obligation role in the relationship between abusive supervision and their innovative self-efficacy. The research method was correlational descriptive, using structural equations model. The sample included 214 employees of Fars Regional Electricity Company, who were selected by random sampling method. The basic tools of this research included abusive supervision (Tipper, 2000), employees’ obligation (Schaufeli et al, 2006) and employees’ innovative self-efficacy scale (Tierney & Farmer, 2000; Dörner, 2012 which had good reliability and validity. Findings indicated that abusive supervision had a negative and significant effect on employees’ engagement. In addition, employees’ obligation had a positive and significant effect on innovative self-efficacy and had a mediating role in the relationship between abusive supervision and employees’ innovative self-efficacy.
