Objective: This study aims to determine the mediating effects of psychological empowerment on abusive supervision and tover intention as perceived by nurses to provide information to change the status of nurse tover.Methods: A cross-sectional survey (a questionnaire examining perceptions of abusive supervision,measurement of psychological empowerment,and questionnaire for tover intention) was used to collect data.A total of 1127 clinical nurses,who were recruited through convenience sampling,participated in the survey.Results: Nurses’ average perceived abusive supervision,psychological empowerment,and tover intention scores were 1.62 ± 0.95,3.24 ± 0.83,and 14.17 ± 3.78,respectively.Psychological empowerment was found to mediate the relationship between abusive supervision and tover intention (P＜ 0.01).Tover intention tends to be stronger and psychological empowerment reduced when nurse managers adopt an abusive leadership style.Conclusions: Nurses’ psychological empowerment is an intermediary variable that predicts the relationship between abusive supervision and tover intention.Nurse managers should manage abusive supervision to increase nurses’ psychological empowerment and decrease tover intention.
