Abstract From the perspective of moral cognition, this paper empirically explored the mediation effect of moral disengagement between abusive supervision and employee’s counterproductive work behavior（CWB）, and discussed the moderating role of supervisor’s organizational embodiment（SOE） in this process. An empirical study based on 343 matching data in two stages showed that： （1） Abusive supervision had a significant positive impact on employees’ CWB; （2） Moral disengagement played a partial mediating role in the process of abusive supervision affecting employees’ CWB; （3） SOE positively moderated the relationship between abusive supervision and moral disengagement. The higher the level of SOE perceived by employees, the stronger the impact of abusive supervision on moral disengagement; （4） SOE further moderated the mediation role employees’ moral disengagement. When the level of SOE was higher, the mediating effect of moral disengagement between abusive supervision and employees’ CWB was more obvious. This study provided a new perspective and insight for understanding the process and boundary of abusive supervision affecting employees’ CWB.
