How many of us use music to enhance the performance in our work area !?



There was a research done on the effects of music on work quality, time-on-task & quality of delivery (here: software design)



** Effects of music on work performance, in this case shows:



Data from 56 (male = 41, female = 15) :: developers were obtained from four different Canadian software companies. Data were collected in the participants’ actual work environments over five weeks. Results indicated that state positive affect and quality-of-work were lowest with no music, while time-on-task was longest when music was removed.



Responses revealed the value of music listening for positive mood change and enhanced perception on design while working...



Overall, the study contributes to the development of a model that aspires to elucidate music and workplace interactions; as well, it has implications for organizational practice.



I personally, love the “ Yani ” collection...its very melodious…It makes you relax, as well as revives your thoughts... with no distraction.



Please put in your comments and suggestions if you know some good music appropriate for office environment…
