“…Humble leadership has been defined as “an interpersonal characteristic that emerges in social contexts that connotes a manifested willingness to view oneself accurately, a displayed appreciation of others’ strengths and contributions, and teachability” (Owens et al ., 2013, p. 1518). A burgeoning number of studies have shown that humble leadership could benefit both employees and organizations, such as fostering employees’ organizational citizenship behaviors and proactive behaviors (Cho et al ., 2021; Ma et al ., 2020; Owens et al ., 2013), enhancing individual and team creativity (Ali et al ., 2020; Tariq et al ., 2023; Wang et al ., 2017), improving job performance (Chandler et al ., 2023; Liu et al ., 2022; Owens and Hekman, 2016; Wang et al ., 2018), promoting career success (Chughtai and Arifeen, 2023), and even promoting organizational performance (Ou et al ., 2014).…”
