Abstract：Humble Leadership receives more and more attention from management practitioners in recent years. Based on self-categorization and intrinsic motivation theory, this study explored the influencing mechanism of humble leadership on managers’ feedback-seeking behavior. An Empirical Analysis based on 208 samples from managers found that: (1) humble leadership exerts significantly positive effect on managers’ feedback-seeking behavior; (2) perceived insider status and risk-taking willing play a chain mediating effect between humble leadership and feedback-seeking behavior, this is to say, humble leadership promotes the willingness of risk-taking through the promotion of internal status cognition of managers, and then influences their feedback seeking behavior.The study is the first effort to explore the determinants of feedback-seeking behavior from the perspective of humble leadership, which may provide theoretical guidance for feedback management in organizations.
