TY - JOUR A1 - Vetter, Laura A1 - Gockel, Christine T1 - Can’t buy me laughter : Humour in organisational change JF - Gruppe. Interaktion. Organisation. Zeitschrift für Angewandte Organisationspsychologie (GIO) N2 - This article reflects upon the potential role of humour during an organisational change process. We focus on three facets that are of special importance during change: coping with the change, resisting the change, and leading the change. For each facet, we present relevant quantitative and qualitative studies; and in a final section, we derive implications for employees, leaders, and organisations. In regards to coping with change, we focus on the stress-buffering effects of humour. High-humour individuals maintain higher levels of positive affect in stressful situations and appraise a potentially stressful event as a positive challenge rather than a threat. In regards to resisting change, we show that aggressive humour can be an indicator of serious distress and a means to express resistance towards authority or aspects of the change process. In regards to leading change, we point out how effective leaders may utilise humour to manage followers’ emotions in order to increase positive affect and to reduce perceived threat associated with change. We conclude by suggesting how humour can be used as a diagnostic tool, to foster a humour-supportive climate, to improve communication strategies, and to support an error management culture.

Interaktion. Organisation. Zeitschrift für Angewandte Organisationspsychologie (GIO) N2 - In diesem Beitrag wird über die Ausbildung von Studierenden zu Bewerbungstrainern für Geflüchtete in einem Train-the-Trainer Programm berichtet. Dieses Programm gliedert sich in zwei Phasen. In der ersten Phase erhalten Masterstudierende eine Trainerausbildung und in der zweiten Phase geben die Studierenden selbstständig rekrutierten Geflüchteten Bewerbungstrainings. Mit diesem didaktischen Ansatz können aufgrund des Multiplikatoreneffektes viele Geflüchtete erreicht werden. Um die Effektivität der ersten Phase des Programms für die Studierenden zu überprüfen, wurde eine Fragebogen- und Interviewstudie durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigten Folgendes: Die Teilnehmenden waren in der Vergangenheit mehr von ihren Familien ermutigt worden, sich für andere einzusetzen als die Teilnehmenden einer Kontrollgruppe. Des Weiteren wiesen sie eine höhere Motivation auf, sich bewusst und aktiv ehrenamtlich zu engagieren. Außerdem verbesserten sich die notwendigen Kernkompetenzen für das Trainieren. Darüber hinaus konnte die Intention, sich ehrenamtlich zu engagieren, sowie die Einstellung zur Arbeitsmarktintegration von Geflüchteten vorhergesagt werden. Wir diskutieren abschließend die Herausforderungen bei der Umsetzung des Projektes. _________________________________________________________ We report on the training of graduate students as job application trainers within a train-the-trainer program. This program consists of two phases: in the first phase of the program, graduate students are trained to become job application trainers and in the second phase, the students give trainings to refugees whom they recruit themselves. Given the multiplier effect of this didactic approach, many refugees may be reached. To evaluate the effectiveness of the first phase of the program for the students, we conducted a questionnaire and interview study. Results of the evaluation show the following: based on their past experience, the participants of the program were more likely to be encouraged by their families to help others than the participants in a control group. In addition, they were more motivated to volunteer deliberately and actively. Furthermore, all necessary core competencies for training performance improved over time. We were also able to predict participants’ intentions to volunteer and their attitude towards labor market integration of refugees. We discuss challenges of the program’s implementation.

Critical team events such as conflict and faultlines (hypothetical lines that split a team into subgroups) should impact psychological safety. Previous research has shown the benefits of task conflict on team outcomes under certain conditions and the consistently negative effects of demographic faultline strength on team outcomes. We propose that being close to the principal (what we call belonging to the principal’s in-group) should help attenuate the negative effects of task conflict and faultlines among teachers, because it is associated with a more effective working relationship. In a survey study with 244 teachers from 45 primary schools, we tested the moderating effect of belonging to the principal’s in-group vs. belonging to an out-group on the relationships of task conflict and faultlines on psychological safety. Results of multilevel model tests showed that relationship conflict (but not task conflict) and faultlines decreased psychological safety. However, when teachers belonged to the principal’s in-group as compared to an out-group, task conflict had no negative effect on psychological safety. We present implications to bridge the negative effects due to subgroup presence, so that psychological safety can become a resource for all.

SP - 1 EP - 21 ER - TY - BOOK A1 - Scheel, Tabea A1 - Gockel, Christine T1 - Humor at Work in Teams, Leadership, Negotiations, Learning and Health N2 - This book provides a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art on the adaptive and maladaptive functions of humor. Humor is inescapable in our daily interactions - also at the work place. Affiliative, self-enhancing, self-deprecating and aggressive humor can all occur at work and have unique and sometimes ambiguous effects. The volume presents humor research on five important workplace topics: teams, leadership, negotiation, learning, and health. It combines and integrates research from a range of fields, including work and organizational psychology, social psychology, communication, linguistics and sociology. In highlighting research gaps and stating future research questions, the book provides a sufficient starting point for further research on humor in relation to the aforementioned topics. For practitioners, recommendations are provided specific to each area.
