The Power of Humor: Top Ten Ways to Lighten Up Your Workplace (without getting fired!) [2005]
 

Here is an excerpt from the book:

“Humor is counterproductive in the workplace. It interferes with productivity and effectiveness on the job.

WRONG!

Admittedly, there can be too much of a good thing. We know this is true even of the necessities of life including water, food and chocolate.  Humor at work can be distracting. It can be used to deliberately avoid work. Excessive humor in the workplace can be counterproductive.  Some types of humor are inappropriate at work.  As that prolific social critic, A. Nonymous, once stated, "Humor used at work is like nasal spray.  It can open up clogged passages and loosen the flow, but if overused, can become irritating.

However, at some point, the baby was thrown out with the bath water.  With the workplace having evolved into a place where most of us need to be adaptive and creative, the value of appropriate humor is greater than ever.
