This book is the first-ever authoritative work on the use and
management of humor in the workplace. It is a practical guide for
everyone involved: the humorists ('jokers'), the targets (sometimes
'victims'), the observers ('audience') and most of all the managers
who have to 'set the tone' and encourage, control and manage humor.
Humor is part and parcel of every workplace. However, while it
usually demonstrates and fosters a united, happy workforce, it can
at times be deeply damaging and divisive. The authors - academics
with vast organizational experience and a research-based
understanding of humor at work - bring together state-of-the art
knowledge of the topic, making it fun, accessible and readable for
all humor participants. The topics include how humor works, humor
cultures in organizations, the many forms of workplace humor and
their pros and cons, humor rituals at work, digital humor,
workplace jokers, the 21st century issue of 'political
correctness', and both the 'bright side' of humor (assisting
positive cultures, making work 'fun'), and its 'dark side' (where
humor offends and humiliates). With over 60 'real life'
illustrative stories of workplace humor, a self-completion
questionnaire to measure the Humor Climate in your organization,
end-of-chapter 'takeaways' and an end-of-book summary advocating
'best practice', the book is a 'fun', how-to-do-it guide that will
both inform and entertain.
