Let

n\neq 0

,

1

be an integer. A group

G

is said to be

n

-abelian if the mapping

f_{n}\colon x\to x^{n}

is an endomorphism of

G

. Then

(xy)^{n}=x^{n}y^{n}

for all

x

,

y\in G

, from which it follows

[x^{n},y]=[x,y]^{n}=[x;y^{n}]

. In this paper we investigate groups

G

such that

f_{n}

is a monomorphism or an epimorphism of

G

. We also deal with the connections between

n

-abelian groups and groups satisfying the identity

[x^{n},y]=[x,y]^{n}=[x;y^{n}]

. Finally, we provide an arithmetic description of the set of all integers

n

such that

f_{n}

is an automorphism of a given group

G

.
