Abstract: Abstract Drawing on paradox theory and role theory, this study explores the mechanism of how the interaction between paradoxical leadership(PL) and role breadth self-efficacy(RBS) affects flexible role orientation(FRO)from the matching degree between leadership style and employee characteristics. Further, this study explores the mediating effect of FRO between the above interaction terms and employee innovative behavior(EIB), and thus establishing a mediated moderation model. The hypotheses of the study were tested through a questionnaire survey. The data were collected through a survey randomly distributed among 444 managers and employees of various enterprises in China. And the data analysis was conducted through SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0 software. Analysis results show that PL has a positive impact on employees’ FRO, thus enhancing EIB, while RBS moderates the relationship between PL and FRO. This study not only enriches the theoretical exploration of the positive impact of PL, but also responds the call to explore the mediating variables of PL from a new theoretical perspective and reveals when and how PL promotes EIB.
