In fact, about 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humor do better.The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humor may help lighthearted employees keep their jobs during tough times. And, whats more, it may push them up the corporate ladder past their humorless colleagues. Why? It seems that those with a sense of humor are better communicators and better team players.Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive. In fact, a researcher at California State University found that humor could help the employees to release tension.Research done by psychologist Dr. Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humor helps us think. When people feel stuck on important projects, they tend to feel angry or depressed. According to Dr. Trices research, taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.If humor is really this important, then why dont we use it more often on the job? Most likely, the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humor in the workplace. However, it is important to realize that some humor is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is often used at wrong times.1.
