Abstract: In order to explore the influence mechanism of abusive leaders on the deviation behavior of knowledge workers, a random sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey, and the hypothesis model was verified by mediation effect and regulation effect analysis. The results showed that:There was a significant positive correlation between abusive leadership, job burnout and deviant behavior, a significant negative correlation between organizational cognition and job deviant behavior, and a significant negative correlation between abusive leadership and job burnout.Abusive leadership can not only directly predict employee's work deviation behavior in a positive way, but also indirectly affect employee's work deviation behavior through a path: through the intermediary role of organizational cognition, the intermediary role of job burnout and the chain intermediary role of organizational cognition and job burnout. It can effectively restrain employees' work deviation behavior and reduce the loss of the company by improving their leadership style, improving their organizational cognitive ability and reducing their job burnout.

Key words: abusive management, organizational cognition, job burnout, chain intermediary, organizational self-esteem, work deviation behavior
