摘　　要：基于社会信息加工理论,采用由284位下属及其直接领导构成的领导—员工配对数据,实证分析领导积极幽默影响员工创造力的作用机制和作用条件,研究发现:认知灵活性和心理安全感均对领导积极幽默与员工创造力之间的关系具有部分中介作用;工作自主性调节了认知灵活性和员工创造力、心理安全感和员工创造力之间的关系;同时,工作自主性强化了领导积极幽默通过认知灵活性和心理安全感对员工创造力的影响。Given increasingly turbulent environments and heightened innovation-driven competition among companies,more and more entrepreneurs are coming to realize the importance and urgency of advancing employee creativity nowadays.As an important leadership trait,leader’s humor has gradually attracted a large amount of scholars’attention to its influence on employee creativity in recent years.Recent studies investigating the impact of leader’s humor on employee creativity,however,have largely focused on issues of cognitive dissonance,leader-member exchange and positive emotion of employees.While dealing with leader’s positive humor,noticeably missing from research attention has been a perspective of both cognition and psychology,especially for empirical researches.Based on the theory of social information Processing,we focused on the important leadership trait of leader’s positive humor and explored the mechanism of leader’s positive humor on employee creativity from both cognitive and psychological perspectives.To sum up,we put a lot of effort into analyzing the relationship among leader’s positive humor,cognitive flexibility,psychological security,work autonomy and employee creativity.Purposefully,two crucial mediators,cognitive flexibility and psychological security,were introduced to analyze the mechanism of leader’s positive humor on employee creativity.What’s more,work autonomy was employed as a moderator to figure out the boundary situations in which it takes effect from the perspective of job characteristic.Using the leader-subordinate matching data consisting of 284 subordinates and their direct leaders from a well-known information technology(IT)company in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province,we empirically tested the theoretical model with multiple regression analysis.Empirical results show that leader’s positive humor positively affect employee creativity significantly.Specifically,cognitive flexibility and psychological security both partially mediate the relationship between leader’s positive hum
