What the paper says

Purpose 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. Design/methodology/approach 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. Findings 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. Originality/value 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.
