This study investigates if, even in the traditionally stressful aviation industry environment, leader humor may motivate the crew to overcome travel tension and anxiety in their supportive behavior toward passengers . The research findings show that humorous executives are More likely to encourage cabin crew to participate in passenger-oriented Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). Through the mediating impact of relational energy, leader humor influences passenger -oriented OCB . Additionally, relational energy differential and worker traditionalism control the process. The topic of comedy and leader humor in the airline sector is augmented by this study , which uses data gathered from 117 members belonging to about 2200 cabin crew members at EgyptAir.
