The Impact of Modern Music on Teamwork Efficiency: An Analysis on the Moderating Factors of Leadership Initiatives and Corporate Culture

Abstract

With the transformation of contemporary work settings, music has increasingly become a fundamental component in team collaboration, drawing significant scholarly and industrial interest due to its potential influence on employees’ emotional states and performance levels. In a technologically advanced and culturally heterogeneous nation such as China, examining the role of modern music in shaping teamwork efficiency across various occupational contexts and technological production environments represents a subject of considerable relevance. This research employs quantitative analytical techniques to explore how modern music affects collaborative effectiveness within teams. A structured questionnaire was administered, resulting in the successful acquisition of 642 valid responses from personnel at HUAWEI Technologies Co., Ltd. By systematically evaluating the influence of modern music on team productivity, and considering the moderating roles of leadership approaches and organisational culture within the Chinese context, the study uncovers the intricate dynamics between auditory stimuli and workplace performance. These insights are anticipated to guide enterprises in harnessing music as a strategic resource to unlock team capabilities, boost operational efficiency, and foster innovative trajectories for enhancing future workplace productivity.
