Abstract

People holding power positions agree with the benefits of humor at work. In business settings, there’s hope to hear jokes initiated by leaders, as we can see from a survey of 329 Fortune 500 CEOs performed by Fortune magazine, which found that 97% of CEOs agree with the importance of humor in business. Leaders with a sense of humor can increase the employees’ engagement and creativity in the workplace. In addition, a work culture that is open to wit inspires anyone to be as funny as they can be.
