MANAGING WITH HUMOR - NILUPAMA WIJEWARDENA RAMA...

This book focuses on an emerging area of study in management: managerial humor and its impact
on employees' outcomes. Drawing from theoretical work that advocates humor as a managerial tool
and building on existing theory and documented evidence on humor  the book explores how
managers can use humor to positively affect employees¿ short-term emotional states and
long-term psychological resources at work  and thus reduce the likelihood of their leaving the
organization. First  the book develops a theoretical framework for humor events at work and
provides evidence-based findings on employees¿ humor behavior within actual work contexts.
Second  it explores how humor can be used to positively impact employees¿ emotional states at
work. In doing so  the book takes a multidisciplinary approach to humor by integrating theory
and findings from the emotions literature  Positive Organizational Behavior  and Broaden and
Build Theory into the humor literature. The book sheds new light on the consequences of
managers¿ use of humor for employees. It provides practical guidelines on how managers can use
humor as an effective tool at work to bring about desired employee outcomes.
