Humor no trabalho: um estudo sobre a relação entre estilos de humor, satisfação com a chefia e desempenho individual no trabalho

Abstract

This research investigated the relation among the humor styles, the employees satisfaction with their leader, and job performance of employees, through a quantitative study. In order to measure the constructs, two questionnaires, validated in previous studies, were used: The Humor Styles Questionnaire from Martin et al. (2003) and the Job Satisfaction Scale from Siqueira (1995). The score for individual performance was obtained from an instrument of assessment called “assessment 360º” used by the company studied. 234 valid answers were obtained and the relation among the variables was studied through the Structural Equation Modeling Method, with PLS estimation (Partial Least Squares – Path Modeling). Were identified significant positive relations among the positive styles of humor (affiliative and self-enhancing) and the employees satisfaction with their leader, and between satisfaction with their leader and job performance. On the other side, significant negative relations were verified among negative styles (aggressive and self-defeating) and employees satisfaction with their leader, been an aggressive humor responsible for 16,81% of dissatisfaction with their leader. This results suggest that organizations may benefit from the selection of leaders with the proper humor styles to reach specific behavior and organizational results.

The Effect of Humor Styles on Anxiety Performance in Basketball Learning Practices

“…Additionally, the study aimed to determine how basketball players' humor styles, including aggression, self-enhancing, affiliative, and self-defeating, predict somatic symptoms, worry, and concentration disruptions during physical practices. The study's significant findings suggest a direct relationship between players' humor styles and anxiety-related performance, which is consistent with previous research (de Souza et al, 2019;Rowland & Van Lankveld, 2019). It is noteworthy that the items related to players' humor styles have been found to be linked to anxiety performance, as humor has been linked to various outcomes, such as effective communication, performance improvement, and anxiety reduction, which contributes to the literature on the potential of humor styles as self-enhancing actions or as a barrier to anxiety performance, depending on players' attitudes.…”

When Humor Works: Impact of Humour Style Similarity on Supervisor-Subordinate Relationship

“…Although the self-defeating humour style typically falls into the category of negative humour (Martin et al 2003;de Souza et al, 2019), findings on its effects are controversial. Selfdefeating humour, a form of laughing at one's own weakness, can be used to gain acceptance from others and make oneself more approachable (Wisse & Rietzschel, 2014;Romero & Cruthirds, 2006).…”

Influencia de la creatividad, competencias y colaboración del capital humano en el desempeño contextual de las instituciones de educación superior

“…Al analizar estas definiciones es posible concluir que el desempeño hace referencia a cualquier respuesta o acción de un individuo que vaya encaminada al logro de objetivos organizacionales. Por supuesto, está vinculado con aspectos que tienen que ver con la calidad, cantidad, costo y tiempo que emplea una persona para cumplir una función(Araújo y Guedes, 2016;Marchezi, von Borell, Matos y dos Santos, 2019). Además, aplica criterios de cooperación, responsabilidad, conocimiento, asistencia y supervisión a fin de garantizar la consecución de las metas y el uso eficiente de los recursos disponibles(Chiang y San Martín, 2015).Ahora bien,Ramos et al (2019) comentan que existen diversas maneras a través de las cuales puede ser medible el desempeño en las instituciones públicas y privadas, ello dependiendo del interés y propósito del análisis que se desee realizar.…”
