Classical (cult) piano music, a factor for increasing the intrinsic quality of the workplace and decreasing stress in the Information Technology (IT) field

Abstract

In the multidimensional concept of quality of work is contained the intrinsic quality of the workplace - a factor which helps to increase employee performance. Stress in the workplace results in decreased employee satisfaction and work productivity, with negative consequences especially in professions that require creativity, such as employees in the IT (Information Technology) industry. Classical music has a beneficial effect on the human psyche known and valued from ancient times. We believe that in people who accuse fatigue, irritability, decreased creativity, low emotional intelligence, long-term complaints disappear after listening to classical piano music at the workplace. The quality of life is inextricably linked to the environment in which people live, the environment also including the workplace. Listening to musical pieces from the classical piano repertoire, will help to create a pleasant environment and extra harmony in different organizations, and will be reducing psycho-emotional indicators of stress, increasing employees’ individual efficiency and improving socio-human relations. The expected long-term impact of music is to increase employee satisfaction and attachment to his workplace and improve socio-professional relations within IT firms. Classical (cult) piano music will support social development and improve the quality of life of employees, ensuring in this way, the economic growth on IT companies and in other workplaces where stress and lack of communication have an impact on the intrinsic quality of the workplace.
