在現今全球化、多元化的發展趨勢下，絕大多數企業都面臨了競爭者不斷推陳出新的挑戰，也因此企業必須靠持續地創新才能在激烈的國際市場上維持競爭地位。員工是企業最重要的生產力來源，擁有高創新能力的員工才能提高企業的競爭優勢；員工在企業中有高度的工作滿足時，方可提高組織的績效，亦對創造力有正向的影響。故本研究欲探討個人之幽默感、創新行為及工作滿足之間的關係，並分析比較幽默感各因素對工作滿足的預測情形及創新行為在幽默感對工作滿足影響性中的中介效果。
本研究的研究對象為國內公民營產業，採問卷發放方式進行，發放共計1,274份問卷，回收1,227份，有效問卷共計1,213份，有效回收率95.21%；根據問卷回收結果，進行敘述性統計分析、相關分析、迴歸分析，並得到以下結論：
1. 幽默感對創新行為有顯著正向影響。
2. 創新行為對工作滿足有顯著正向影響。
3. 幽默感對工作滿足有顯著正向影響。
4. 以創新行為作為中介變項，在幽默感對工作滿足的影響力有部分中介效果。
5. 以創新行為作為中介變項，在幽默感對內在工作滿足的影響力有部分中介效果。
6. 以創新行為作為中介變項，在幽默感對外在工作滿足的影響力有完全中介效果。
綜上所述，幽默感的確是影響創新行為及工作滿足的重要因素；創新行為也確實在幽默感對工作滿足的影響力中具中介效果。

It also analyzes the forecasting reliability of an individual’s sense of humor versus job satisfaction, and the mediating effect of a sense of humor towards job satisfaction.
