  • 本研究主要之目的是探討職場中幽默風格類型,及當受測者在面對不同親疏程度的對象時展現之職場幽默風格是否會產生差異。另外,本研究亦想進一步了解組織玩興氣氛知覺對員工創新行為之預測力、職場幽默風格對員工創新行為之預測力、職場幽默風格對組織玩興氣氛知覺之預測力,以及職場幽默風格是否會透過職場玩興氣氛知覺之中介效果對員工創新行為產生顯著影響。
    本研究採取問卷調查法,並以大台北地區之全職員工為主要之研究對象,實際回收之有效樣本為400份,所使用之工具包括「職場幽默風格量表」、「組織玩興氣氛量表」及「員工創新行為量表」。主要發現如下:
    一、受測者在面對不同親疏程度之對象時所展現之幽默風格呈現顯著之差異。
    二、組織玩興氣氛知覺對員工創新行為有顯著之正向影響。
    三、當受測者面對極親密之對象時:
    (一)人際型、自我增強型幽默風格對員工創新行為有顯著之正向影響。
    (二)人際型、自我增強型幽默風格對組織玩興氣氛知覺有顯著之正向影響;攻擊自我型幽默風格則對組織玩興氣氛知覺有顯著之負向影響。特別值得注意的是原本具有負面意涵之攻擊型幽默風格對組織玩興氣氛知呈現顯著之正向影響。
    (三)人際型、自我增強型及攻擊型之幽默風格,會透過組織玩興氣氛知覺之中介效果,間接對員工創新行為產生顯著之正向影響;而攻擊自我型幽默風格則會透過組織玩興氣氛知覺之中介效果,間接對員工創新行為產生顯著之負向影響。
    四、當受測者面對極疏遠之對象時:
    (一)人際型、自我增強型幽默風格對員工創新行為有顯著之正向影響。
    (二)僅人際型幽默風格對組織玩興氣氛知覺有顯著之正向影響;而且會透過組織玩興氣氛知覺之中介效果,間接對員工創新行為產生顯著之正向影響。
