Table_1_Musicdrops@work: Impact of Shared Listening to Short Live Music Interventions on Sense of Belonging and Subjective Wellbeing at Work.pdf

Assuming live music can foster belonging in the workplace, this study linked companies in the secondary and tertiary sectors with the world of music performance. Specifically, students from a Swiss music university offered live mini-concerts (10 min of classical music) on the premises of three companies over a period of 3 months. To analyze the impact of these brief musical interventions on the sense of belonging of staff in these companies, a mixed methods approach was adopted using a standardized questionnaire (Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire, a short online questionnaire on the appreciation of the music and the emotional state induced, and focus groups interviews at the end of the experiment). The short concerts were much appreciated. On the individual level, they led to a greater sense of pleasure and were perceived as a break, a possibility to connect to one’s emotions and above all, as a “moment for oneself.” On the group level, the short concerts allowed the members of teams to meet, prompted conversations and new ways of sharing, created links, and offered opportunities to get to know work colleagues differently and to discover them on a more personal level.鉴于现场音乐能够在职场中培育归属感，本研究将第二产业和第三产业的公司与音乐表演世界相连接。具体而言，瑞士一所音乐大学的学子们在三个月的时间里，在三家公司的场所举办了现场迷你音乐会（古典音乐时长10分钟）。为了分析这些短暂的音乐干预对公司员工归属感的影响，本研究采用了混合方法，包括使用标准化问卷（巴塞罗那音乐奖励问卷，一份关于音乐欣赏和所引发情绪状态的简短在线问卷，以及实验结束后进行的焦点小组访谈）。短暂的音乐会颇受欢迎。在个人层面，它们带来了更强烈的愉悦感，并被视为一次休息，一次与个人情感连接的机会，更不用说，它是一种‘专属时刻’。在团体层面，短暂的音乐会使得团队成员得以相聚，激发了对话和新的分享方式，建立了联系，并提供了以不同方式了解工作同事以及更深入地了解他们的个人层面的机会。
