We drew on affective events theory to investigate the ways in which workplace fun motivates employees and improves their job performance. Analyzing the data collected from supervisor–knowledge worker subordinate dyads in high-tech organizations in mainland China and Taiwan, we
found that employees' perceived person–organization value congruence moderated the relation between workplace fun and employees' job performance, and this effect was mediated through their experienced fun. We discuss the theoretical and managerial implications of this mediated moderation
mechanism.
