Review Quotes:
'The Psychology of Humor at Work makes a significant contribution to our understanding of humor in the workplace across a wide range of contexts. This is an important book for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the serious business of humor.' Chuck Gulas, Wright State University, USA
'The authors bring perfect order to the paradoxes inherent in research on humor in the workplace, humor being both "simultaneously everywhere and nowhere" and "extraordinarily complex but also very simple". They do this by presenting a clear and valuable outline of crucial research questions, empirical findings and prevailing theories and models; and by convincingly encouraging researchers to just go ahead, embracing the above ambiguities.' Lita Lundquist, Professor Emeritus, Department of Business and Politics, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
