Few studies are available on optimistic effects of positive humor styles. In this study, we subsidize to these queries by examining the association among positive humor in management and follower’s well-being and creativity. We suggest that these associations explain through social procedure and definite this social process in positions of leader– member exchange. Furthermore, we undertake that these associations depend on followers’ power distance orientation. We verified the theorized moderatedmediation model in a two-wave survey study with 384 respondents. Anyhow, our outcomes support the anticipated model. We originated the predicted indirect effect of positive humor on employee well-being and creativity to be solider for followers low in power distance orientation.

Using business network management literature, current knowledge employs Activity-Resource-Actor Model (ARAM) to recap the drivers, opportunities, and challenges of smart technologies in a supply network.

However, the challenges of direct/indirect relationship costs prevent companies benefiting from a smart supply network.
