Esta pesquisa verificou a relação entre os estilos de humor, a satisfação com o líder e o desempenho dos indivíduos no trabalho, por meio de um estudo de natureza quantitativa. Para a mensuração dos construtos, foram utilizados dois questionários validados em estudos anteriores: o Questionário de Estilos de Humor de Martin et al. (2003) e a Escala de Satisfação no Trabalho de Siqueira (1995). A medida do desempenho individual foi obtida por meio da indicação da nota final da avaliação 360°, praticada internamente na empresa em análise. Foram obtidas 234 respostas válidas e a relação entre as variáveis foi estudada pelo método de Modelagem de Equações Estruturais, com a estimação PLS (Partial Least Squares – Path Modeling). Identificaram-se relações positivas e significantes entre os estilos positivos de humor (afiliativo e autopromovedor) e a satisfação com a chefia, e entre a satisfação com a chefia e o desempenho individual. Por outro lado, foram verificadas relações negativas e significantes entre os estilos negativos (agressivo e autodepreciativo) e a satisfação com a chefia, e o humor agressivo explicou 16,81% da insatisfação com a chefia. Esses resultados sugerem que as organizações podem se beneficiar da seleção de líderes com estilos de humor apropriados para o alcance de comportamentos e resultados organizacionais específicos.
