Lou Pondy and the Organizational Funny Bone

Abstract

Humor and laughter as a therapeutic force can be utilized to alleviate pain and despair as well as having far‐reaching consequences for both personal and organizational development. The various reasons why people laugh and what makes something funny are very complex, and can be measured to a certain extent by the maturity of social systems.
