How music can definitively affect our mood in our daily tasks

It may come as no surprise that enjoying music is the world’s top pastime. Music comes from the heart, or is the method to get there. While the benefits of using background music should be evident, employers ought to consider the type of music played in a workplace to ensure that the mood and style best fits the workforce and their desired behaviour. It is a win-win process for the employer as well as for the employee.

A study took place at the University of Leicester and the senior lecturer in psychology Dr Adrian North, claimed: “When you hear a piece of music it activates all types of knowledge. If you hear classical music, it has got all sorts of connotations of sophistication, affluence and wealth and it makes you feel a bit posh. In a restaurant, this has the effect of making you spend a bit more money. Where people were really spending the money was on the luxury items, such as starters, desserts and coffees.” The real attraction of music is the power and sensuality of the live sounds on the human body. For many years doctors have openly used background music to help them remain relaxed and focused during surgical procedures. 

And the effect is similar for the workplace productivity: A market research reported that 77% of people think playing music in the workplace makes them happier. Furthermore, 85% and 87% of respondents of a market research said that they are happier, and staff morale is improved, when music is being played in the workplace. According to a report, Dr Claudis Conrad, uses Bach’s preludes and fugues when performing methodical steps during routine colorectal surgery.
