Abstract

The objective of the study is to ascertain the correlation between the moods of educational administrators and instances of organizational humor. Correlational model is used as the research model and the study employed the “Mood Scale,” and the “Organizational Humor Scale.” In this study, a two-tailed T-test and a one-way ANOVA test were conducted on the data set, as the data obtained from the aforementioned variables exhibited a normal distribution. Since the variables of age and total years of service are not normally distributed, the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used. In order to ascertain the relationship between the mood of the educational administrators and organizational humor, a Pearson correlation analysis was carried out. The results of the study showed that the positive mood and organizational humor scores of educational administrators are high. The levels of experience of positive and negative emotional states were found to be higher in female administrators than in male administrators. As indicated by the findings of the data analysis, positive and negative moods, as well as organizational humor, exhibit notable disparities in relation to demographic variables such as education level and school type. However, these differences are not as pronounced when considering total years of service and age. According to the gender variable, negative moods show a remarkable difference, while positive moods and organizational humor don’t show a remarkable difference. There is a moderately negative and a remarkable relationship between the negative moods of educational administrators and organizational humor. There is a moderately positive and a remarkable relationship between the positive moods of educational administrators and organizational humor.
