In this study, teachers' views are evaluated to determine whether there is a relationship between the humor styles of school principals and the health of an organization. The study is based on a mixed research approach with both quantitative and qualitative aspects. In the quantitative study, the teachers were asked to describe their principals' senses of humor using the "humor behavior scale" and to evaluate the organization in which they worked using the "organizational health inventory." In the qualitative dimension, principals working in primary schools were interviewed and asked to evaluate their own sense of humor and the school's health. When the quantitative findings were examined, the regression results showed that school principals with a cynical style of humor negatively predicts organizational health, and productive social and affirmative styles of humor positively predict organizational health. In the qualitative study, the content analysis results revealed that a school administrator who uses humor effectively is capable of effectively solving problems in the school. However, it has been stated that the humor style of the school principal can have negative effects as well as positive effects. School principals are advised to recognize the teachers with whom they work and to distinguish which teachers are receptive to humor.
在本研究中，对教师的观点进行评估，以确定学校校长的幽默风格与组织健康之间是否存在关联。该研究基于一种兼具定量和定性方面的混合研究方法。在定量研究中，要求教师使用“幽默行为量表”描述他们校长的幽默感，并使用“组织健康量表”对他们工作的组织进行评估。在定性维度上，对在小学工作的校长进行了访谈，要求他们评估自己的幽默感和学校的健康状况。在审视定量研究结果时，回归结果表明，具有愤世嫉俗幽默风格的学校校长对组织健康有负面预测作用，而富有成效的社交性和肯定性幽默风格对组织健康有正面预测作用。在定性研究中，内容分析结果显示，有效运用幽默的学校管理人员能够有效解决学校中的问题。然而，有人指出，学校校长的幽默风格可能既有积极影响，也有消极影响。建议学校校长了解与他们共事的教师，并区分哪些教师能够接受幽默。
