Abstract Humble leadership is one of the hottest topics emerging in the trend of “bottom-up” leadership research these years. More studies are necessary to figure out its effectiveness as well as the corresponding mechanism. With the survey data from 260 copies of valid questionnaires, this paper investigated the impact mechanism of humble leadership on employees' voice behavior via structural equation modeling and the path analysis technique. The results indicated that humble leadership could positively predict employees' voice behavior, and employees' psychological safety could partially mediate the influence of humble leadership on employees' voice behavior. Furthermore, employees' proactive personality could positively moderate the mediating effect of psychological safety at the first-stage of the aforementioned indirect path, so that the indirect effect of humble leadership on voice behavior via the mediation of psychological safety would be stronger for the employees with higher level of proactive personality.
