This paper aims to focus on constructing a research framework that positions music as a well-being intervention strategy in high-stress workplaces, aiming to enhance self-management and interpersonal effectiveness. Furthermore, its goal is to develop a model of intervention using music that is specifically designed for learning organizations.
A comprehensive review of secondary literature was done which led to the establishment of an interconnected model relating stress, music intervention, positive emotions and spirituality, self- and interpersonal management, along with the dynamics of learning organizations.
Music interventions, when tactically implemented, serve as a nonintrusive approach to reduce workplace stress. It fosters positive emotions and induces spiritual experiences according to the study. These significantly enhance skills of self- and interpersonal management, which promote trust and harmony in the workplace. Music also improves cognitive performance, imagination and emotional well-being. This makes it especially relevant to learning organizations that focus on continual innovation and stakeholder development.
While existing literature highlights the strong connections between music, positive emotions and spirituality, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, no significant study has explored music interventions as a means of simultaneously triggering intense personal positive experiences, fostering deeper connections with reality and promoting spiritual well-being. This paper uniquely develops a conceptual framework that links these outcomes to the dynamics of learning organizations.
