  ABSTRACT: Based on the theory of social exchange, this study attempts to probe the mechanism of the impact of the family supportive supervisor behavior on employee’s proactive behavior, especially to explore the mediating role of the affective commitment and the moderating role of the power distance in Chinese organizational context. After analyzing the samples collected from 305 employees, we found that: family supportive supervisor behavior has a significantly positive effect on employee’s proactive behavior; affective commitment plays a partial mediating role between family supportive supervisor behavior and employee’s proactive behavior; meanwhile, power distance moderates the relationship between family supported supervisory behavior and affective commitment, and further moderates the indirect relationship between family supported supervisory behavior and employee’s proactive behavior through affective commitment. That is, the lower the employees’ power distance is, the stronger the mediating effect of affective commitment becomes.
