An Analysis of the responses via SPSS and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) indicated a significant positive association between abusive supervision and increased turnover intention and workplace deviance and ego depletion mediates the relationship between abusive supervision and turnover intention and workplace deviance. The results highlight the need for effective leadership strategies that both reduce the harmful consequences of supervisory abuse for employees and support a sustainable organizational culture. The insights gained from this study contribute to the existing literature on abusive supervision dynamics as well as markets each for the entrepreneurial in practical implication for entrepreneurs and organizational leaders.
