Summary Despite the recent surge of research on leader humility, it remains unclear how and when teams benefit from it. Drawing social cognitive theory, we propose a moderated mediation model that test using multisource, time‐lagged data collected 71 in university‐affiliated hospital. We find humble leaders indirectly enhance team innovation via greater reflexivity. Additionally, consider average level proactive personality members as boundary condition positive effect humility. Our results show humility prompts reflexivity only mean is high, which turn increases innovation. Bridging theory with leadership teams, our study offers important implications for both practice.

Investigating boundary conditions, our research juxtaposes LEH with followers' competitiveness, indiscriminate need to compete win at any cost. Employing social exchange theory, we theorize how follower competitiveness potentially impacts effects on affective trust in subsequent turnover. We examine proposed moderated-mediation model data from employees working various German industries two studies: a field study (Study 1) four measurement points (time 1–3 were separated by 1-month intervals Time 4 followed 14 months after 2) experimental scenario 2). Results show (a) weaken effect leaders' as well (b) indirect intended actual, voluntary Notably, consistent interaction pattern emerged across studies demonstrating low (but not high) has divergent followers function levels competitiveness.
