The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of supervisor humor on LMX and CWX. LMX and CWX on subordinates' job satisfaction. Additionally, we attempt to test the mediating roles of LMX and CWX on the relationships between supervisor humor and subordinates' job satisfaction. To verify the proposed hypotheses, we collected 230 data of employees in various industry. The major findings are as follows: 1) supervisor humor is positively associated with LMX and CWX. 2) LMX and CWX are positively associated with subordinates' job satisfaction. 3) LMX and CWX partially mediate the relationship between supervisor humor and subordinates' job satisfaction. We provided implications of the research results and recommendations for future research.
