How Do We Perceive a Humorous Manager? Manager Humor, Impression Management, and Employee Willingness to Work With the Manager

“…This is because such behaviors might lead other employees to form an organizational perception of norm violation acceptability, which can ultimately harm the organizational climate. Finally, as email is the most common workplace communication channel ( Machili et al, 2019 ), the findings highlight the importance of humor in email communication. As contextual cues play an increasingly dominant role in our lives ( Pelled et al, 2017 ), including our workplace, there is a growing need to understand the “rules of the game” of this growing new-media, text-based literacy.…”

“…Our final research goal is to be not only methodologically novel, but also theoretically innovative. The current study will address and use the most recent and common workplace communication channel – email correspondence ( Machili et al, 2019 ). In addition, the current work is the first to examine managers’ humorous expression in email communication.…”

Integrating multi-communication research and the business English class

“…Pedagogically, it has made a strong case for a closer integration of mobile learning resources in teaching BE, which has been echoed in the research of other scholars in the field (e.g., Machili, Angouri & Harwood, 2019;Nickerson, Rapanta, & Goby, 2017;Reinsch & Turner, 2019;2021). Although Gimenez's paper was published 9 years ago, a number of its findings seem to be still relevant for researchers, practitioners and students of BE, as indicated in more recent studies (e.g., Mehra & Nickerson, 2019;Reinsch & Turner, 2021).…”

Taking a Rhetorical Perspective on Emerging Communication Practice: Pedagogy as Theory-Building Scholarship

“…Rather than concern for form or content, authors seemed to show a consistent focus on the twin goals of accessing and sharing information across multiple, diverse sources or stakeholders. Specific topics included the strategic uses of email to engage multiple perspectives (Hastings & Payne, 2013; Machili et al, 2019), managing communication designed for multiple audiences (Duncan & Hill, 2014), messages produced by diverse participants (Baraldi, 2013; Bremner, 2014; Nielsen, 2013), and utilizing diverse information sources (Craig & Allen, 2013). Only a few authors explicitly mentioned the goal of organizational learning (e.g., Scott et al, 2013), but they describe communication practices that would facilitate the diversity and multiplicity of perspectives and options required for that result.…”
