Abstract

From the perspective of ego depletion theory, this paper deeply explores the influencing mechanism of leader's aggressive humor on employees' deviant behaviors in the workplace, as well as the mediating effect of employees' ego depletion, the moderating effect of employees' personality traits and power distance orientation in the context of Chinese organizations. Based on the field data collected from 174 employees, all of the hypotheses are supported, and we conclude by discussing implications for the research.
