Although prior research has examined several cognitive, relational, and affective mechanisms underlying humble leadership, less is known about whether humble leadership evokes specific self-transcendent moral emotions, such as elevation, that motivate followers to engage in risky but prosocial voice behavior. Departing from traditional exchange-based leadership perspectives, this study draws on Affective Events Theory to conceptualize humble leadership as a \u201cmoral event\u201d that elicits elevation\u2014a distinct, other-praising emotion triggered by witnessing moral excellence\u2014and examines whether this emotional response motivates followers to engage in voice behavior, a risky and organization-oriented prosocial act. Furthermore, this study investigates whether follower altruistic value serves as a boundary condition that amplifies this process.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A two-wave, dyadic design was employed with 313 leader-follower pairs from Chinese organizations\u2014a cultural context where Confucian values and high power distance render humble leadership both counter-normative and morally salient. A moderated mediation model was tested using structural equation modeling in Mplus 8.0, with Monte Carlo simulation (20,000 resamples) to assess indirect effects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Results demonstrate that humble leadership is positively related to follower voice behavior through the mediating role of elevation. Crucially, follower altruistic value strengthens this indirect effect, suggesting that the moral-emotional influence of humble leadership is more pronounced when it resonates with followers\u2019 intrinsic values.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings contribute to the leadership and organizational behavior literature by identifying elevation as a theoretically meaningful moral-emotional pathway underlying follower voice, highlighting how moral emotions serve as an important emotional pathway for social influence in hierarchical organizations, and offering a culturally grounded account of how the Chinese organizational context shapes the emotional impact of humble leadership.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2026.1847656","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]],"date-time":"2026-09-01T05:25:03Z","timestamp":1788240303000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Do I feel elevated?
