Abstract

This study examines how cultural workers in the music sector coped with the COVID-19-induced lockdown, and how coping is associated with growth in personal strength during the pandemic. We conducted an online survey 1 year into the pandemic among members of Creo, Norway’s largest trade union in the music sector. Respondents ( N = 658) were to a large degree engaged in fight coping. Furthermore, seeking and giving social support, adopting new digital technologies, rotating job plans, as well as generating and maintaining professional skills were positively related to increased personal strength. We observed notable differences between occupational groups. Musicians chose skill nurturing, music educators engaged in technology adoption, and backstage workers reported flight coping to a larger degree than the other occupational groups. Surprisingly, self-employed and temporary employed workers reported a lower degree of innovation in terms of initiating and participating in new digital concepts and technology adoption compared to those with permanent employment. Finally, temporary or self-employed workers reported a higher degree of flight and freeze coping than permanently employed workers.

COVID-19 大流行期间的个人力量和应对方法：对音乐界文化工作者的研究

本研究探讨了音乐界的文化工作者如何应对 COVID-19 引起的封锁，以及应对方式与大流行期间个人力量的增长之间的关系。我们对挪威最大的音乐行业工会Creo的成员进行了一项在线调查。受访者（N = 658）在很大程度上参与了战斗应对。此外，寻求和给予社会支持、采用新的数字技术、轮换工作计划以及培养和保持专业技能都与个人力量的增强呈正相关。我们注意到不同职业群体之间存在明显差异。与其他职业群体相比，音乐家选择了技能培养，音乐教育工作者采用了技术，而后台工作人员报告的飞行应对程度更高。令人惊讶的是，与长期就业者相比，自营职业者和临时就业者在发起和参与新数字概念和技术应用方面的创新程度较低。最后，临时工或自营职业者报告的逃避和冻结应对程度高于长期就业者。
