Abstract Utilizing confirmatory factor analysis and hierarchical multiple regression, the moderating effects of generational differences of Chinese workers on relationship of workplace fun and individual performance (job satisfaction，task performance，and organizational citizenship behavior) are investigated in a sample of 280 employees in Jiangsu province. The results show that different generation of Chinese workers (the generation of socialism construction, the generation of Cultural Revolution, and the generation of reform and open up) has different attitude toward workplace fun. The works of generation of reform and opening up show stronger positive connections between workplace fun and job satisfaction, and their performance are better than the generation of Chinese Cultural Revolution. This suggests that building workplace fun for the generation of reform and open up will be beneficial for them to perform their inrole behavior. However, organization supervisors should consider more when they transfer workplace fun to the generation of socialism construction and the generation of Chinese Cultural Revolution. This research enriches the influence of personality differences on workplace fun from the new perspective of workers' generational differences.
