          Based on the perspective of psychological empowerment, this paper explores the influencemechanism and boundary conditions of humble leadership on employees’ proactive behavior. The results show that humble leadership positively affects employees’ proactive behavior. Psychological empowerment mediates partly between humble leadership and employee’s proactive behavior. On the other hand, the conscientiousness of employees regulates the relationship between psychological empowerment and employees’ proactive behavior. The higher the employee’s conscientiousness is, the weaker the positive relationship between psychological empowerment and employee’s proactive behavior is. The result provides a new theoretical perspective for further understanding the relationship of humble leadership and employees’ proactive behavior.
