研究称听流行音乐能提高工作效率

Whether it is Mozart or Miley, your choice of music could determine whether you will perform well at your job.

A new study suggests that listening to music in the office improves the speed and accuracy of tasks such as data entry, proof reading and problem solving.

In an office-based experiment, 88 per cent of participants were found to produce their most accurate work when listening to music.

The study also found that 81 per cent completed their fastest work when music was played.

And it matters what type of music you listen to. For instance, if you’re doing your tax returns, then classical music is the most effective as it improves maths skills.

Listening to Jessie J or Justin Bieber could also improve your speed, with 58 per cent of participants completing data entry tasks faster while listening to pop songs.

During proof-reading, dance music, such as David Guetta, had the biggest positive impact with participants increasing their speed by 20 per cent compared to tests undertaken with no music at all.

Dance music also had a positive effect on spell-checking with a 75 per cent pass rate compared to 68 per cent when no music was played at all.

The research, undertaken by Brighton-based Mindlab International, suggests that silent offices may be the least productive.

‘The MusicWorks experiment revealed a positive correlation between music and productivity – overall it showed that when listening to music, nine out of 10 people performed better,’ said Dr David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International.

 

莫扎特也好,麦莉也好,你的音乐品味决定着你工作的效率。

据英国《每日邮报》10月21日报道, 一项新的研究表明,在办公室听音乐可以提高数据输入、校对及计算型工作的效率及准确性。

研究选取了办公室工作人员为研究对象,发现88%的人在听音乐时工作准确率达到工作以来最高水平。

研究发现,81%的人在听音乐时工作速度达到最快。

这也取决于听何种类型的音乐。比如,如果你正在做纳税申报单,那么古典音乐最合适,因为它能提高运算能力。

听贾斯汀·比伯(Justin Bieber)及杰西(Jessie J)的音乐也能提高工作速度。58%的受试者在听流行音乐时完成数据输入任务的速度更快。

在处理校对工作时,大卫·库塔(David Guetta)等舞曲最有好处,听这类音乐的受试者比没有音乐的受试者速度快20%。

舞曲对提高拼写检查也大有帮助。播放舞曲时,拼写检查的通过率为75%,而未播放音乐时通过率为68%。

这项由位于布莱顿的英国国际思维研究室(Mindlab International)开展的调查显示,员工在沉寂的办公室工作是最低效的。

国际思维研究室主席戴维·赖维斯博士(Dr David Lewis)称,“这项研究发现了音乐对工作效率的积极作用,总体而言,结果显示,听音乐时9/10的人工作得更好。”
