Abstract In a study of 436 employees nested within 86 workgroups, this study examined the cross-level effects of humble leader behaviors on employee job performance and investigated the moderating role of employee power distance orientation as well as the mediating role of team empowerment climate playing in the linkage between humble leader behaviors and employee job performance based on social information processing theory. This study found that humble leader behaviors were positively related to employee task performance, helping behavior and employee voice, with team empowerment climate partially mediating these relationships. Further, employee power distance orientation had differential moderating effects on the relationships between humble leader behaviors and task performance, helping behavior and employee voice.
