Conclusion : There was strong positive relation between staff nurses' perceived abusive supervision and their counter productive work behavior. Recommendations : Hospitals have to take corrective disciplinary approaches, actions and strategies against supervisory abusive behavior and counter - productive behavior. Health care managers have to provide the employees with favorable healthy professional work environment, which helps to overcome any counterproductive work behaviors. Health care managers should carry out in-service training programs about acceptable behaviors and actions which have to take to deal with negative behaviors.
