  ABSTRACT: In the workplace, post-90s employees are the main new force, who are active in thinking and concerned about themselves. Based on social exchange theory and affective event theory, this paper explores the relationship between leader humor and proactive behaviors of post-90s employees based on Chinese organizational context, and analyses the mechanisms and paths that influence employees’ own proactive behaviors. The results confirm that: leader humor has a positive influence on the proactive behavior of post-90s employees; positive emotions play a partial mediating role between the two; and the leader-member exchange relationship positively moderates the relationship between leader humor and positive emotions.
