Abstract

During the past two decades, the burgeoning literature on leader humor has documented various ways that humor enables leadership effectiveness. Yet there are problems of construct clarity and measurement associated with leader humor, as well as unanswered questions related to the theoretical frameworks and predictive value of leader humor. We provide a systematic review on leader humor, in which we address the issues of constructs—trait humor versus (behavioral) humor expression—and associated measures, discuss the main and emerging theoretical frameworks, assess the empirical literature via a meta-analysis and path analyses, and offer directions for future research. Our review not only offers theoretical insights for this research area, but also presents empirical gaps and opportunities through a quantitative summary.

领导幽默的研究现状

在过去的二十年里，关于领导者幽默的新兴文献记录了幽默提高领导效率的各种方式。然而，与领导幽默相关的结构清晰度和测量存在问题，以及与领导幽默的理论框架和预测价值相关的未解之谜。本文对领导幽默的研究进行了系统回顾，探讨了幽默特质与行为幽默表达的结构和相关措施，讨论了主要的和新兴的理论框架，通过meta分析和路径分析对实证文献进行了评估，并为未来的研究提出了方向。我们的研究不仅为这一研究领域提供了理论见解，而且通过定量总结提出了经验差距和机会。

期刊介绍： Organizational Psychology Review is a quarterly, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by SAGE in partnership with the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychology. Organizational Psychology Review’s unique aim is to publish original conceptual work and meta-analyses in the field of organizational psychology (broadly defined to include applied psychology, industrial psychology, occupational psychology, organizational behavior, personnel psychology, and work psychology).Articles accepted for publication in Organizational Psychology Review will have the potential to have a major impact on research and practice in organizational psychology. They will offer analyses worth citing, worth following up on in primary research, and worth considering as a basis for applied managerial practice. As such, these should be contributions that move beyond straight forward reviews of the existing literature by developing new theory and insights. At the same time, however, they should be well-grounded in the state of the art and the empirical knowledge base, providing a good mix of a firm empirical and theoretical basis and exciting new ideas.
