Abstract

Organizational success depends upon the effective execution of skills and usage of resources. It is the responsibility of workplace leadership to respond effectively to training needs, insufficiencies, and changes that affect the learning culture. One of the purposes of this research is to identify how these humor qualities might influence training and learning efforts.

In addition to conventional approaches, making use of certain humor traits and styles benefit learning cultures since certain humor styles foster and cultivate self-efficacy. Employees with high self-efficacy gain more from training and contribute to the overall effectiveness of the organization by creating better products.
