Abstract Based on social exchange theory and generation theory, this paper deeply explores the effect of the different middle managers MBTI types on innovation behavior, and the effect mechanism and boundary. The paper takes 532 middle managers as the study object and builds a moderated mediating model. The results reveal that ISTJ,ESTJ and INTJ are the typical personality types of the middle managers, and the ISTJ type and the INTJ type respectively shows positive influence on innovation behavior; while the ESTJ type shows negative influence on innovation behavior; LMX plays a part mediating role in the relationship between the MBTI types and innovation behavior, which is moderated by generational difference. Moreover, compared with Cultural Revolution generation, the above mediating effect is more positive for the middle managers of new generation.
