Popis: Current study has well-known a helpful connection among positive humor styles in leadership and employee well-being and creativity. Few studies are available on optimistic effects of positive humor styles. In this study, we subsidize to these queries by examining the association among positive humor in management and follower’s well-being and creativity. We suggest that these associations explain through social procedure and definite this social process in positions of leader– member exchange. Furthermore, we undertake that these associations depend on followers’ power distance orientation. We verified the theorized moderated-mediation model in a two-wave survey study with 384 respondents. Anyhow, our outcomes support the anticipated model. We originated the predicted indirect effect of positive humor on employee well-being and creativity to be solider for followers low in power distance orientation. We discourse implications for leadership theory and humor theory.
