The moderated mediation model was tested through a study with 93 full-time employees. We used regressions and bootstrapping analyses to test the moderated mediation model. The findings indicated a significant association between  humour events and well-being at work with affect as a mediator. Moreover, psychological work climate was found to significantly moderate the indirect relationship between  humour events and well-being at work via affect, such that it become stronger when individuals were in a positive psychological work climate. This paper adds considerable evidence of the relationship between</em> <em>humour-related events and </em><em>their</em><em> impact on individuals’ well-being. Psychological work climate strengthens the association between affect and well-being</em> <em>after</em> <em>humour events. </em></p><p><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p> ER -
