Abstract

The use of humour in the workplace gets mixed reviews. While humour can create positive energy in teams and help to improve leaders’ likeability, humour can also destroy a manager’s credibility, prevent them from being taken seriously and offend people. Yet how do male and female leaders use humour differently in the workplace? A study conducted at University of Cambridge Judge Business School found that women often hold back in using humour even when it may be effective – and this represents a major lost opportunity to achieve gender equality in the workplace.
