| Abstract: | The author of the article states that the authors all know that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy and answers the question whether the authors do or not. Somewhere along the way, the notion crept in that a place of business had to be all business, no levity allowed. Yet humor and playfulness need not conflict with high productivity, indeed, it may increase it. Encouraging some fun and humor in the workplace can also increase employee retention. The harder part is striking a balance, but successful managers should be aware that no employee wants to work everyday all year in a place that is never any fun. The paper provides a substantial list of references on this subject. |
