Abstract：
A correlation between positive humor and job satisfaction was established in an earlier meta-analysis (Mesmer-Magnus et al., 2012) [1] and appears to be replicated in more recent work. However, the relationship between humor and job satisfaction is more complex and nuanced than the straightforward contention that positive humor = good/negative humor = bad would imply. To expand on this idea, I review recent literature bearing on the relationship between humor and job satisfaction, including a) a broader set of criterion variables; b) relationships with negative forms of humor (e.g., aggressive); c) evidence for mediating and moderating processes in the humor-job satisfaction relationship; and d) issues related to causality.
摘要：
在较早的荟萃分析中建立了积极幽默与工作满意度之间的相关性（Mesmer-Magnus等人。,2012)[1]，似乎在最近的工作中得到了复制。然而,幽默和工作满意度之间的关系比正面幽默=好/负面幽默=坏的直接论点更复杂和微妙。为了扩展这个想法，我回顾了最近关于幽默和工作满意度之间关系的文献，包括a)更广泛的标准变量；b)与负面幽默形式的关系(例如，积极)；c)幽默与工作满意度关系中调解和调节过程的证据；d)与因果关系相关的问题。
