Abstract：Based on upper echelon theory and social information processing theory, this study explores the nonlinear relationships, mechanism, and boundary conditions between CEO humility and firm performance using multi-source and multi-time survey data from 138 companies. Results indicated that there was an inverted U-shaped relationship between CEO humility and firm performance. Forgiveness climate mediated the inverted U-shaped curve relationship between CEO humility and firm performance. High performance expectations had a significant negative moderating effect on the U-shaped relationship between CEO humility and firm performance, as well as between forgiveness climate and firm performance. Specifically, the two U-shaped relationships were more significant, when the high-performance expectations were lower.
