Sammendrag
A recent cross-sectional study investigating an organizational choir-singing intervention

called ‘Sound of Well-being’ (SOW) indicated health and organizational

benefits, and a gender-specific pattern of participation and outcomes. In this study

we investigate participation and effects in a short version of SOW. A total of 1100 employees of a Norwegian municipality were invited to participate in SOW.

At baseline, 472 (42.9 per cent) employees filled in a questionnaire concerning demographics,

personality, health, engagement, commitment and psychosocial work environment.

A total of 312 (66.1 per cent) of these completed the same survey one to

three weeks after SOW was finished. We found that female gender and extroversion

were linked to participation in SOW. Women reported significant changes in engagement,

self-perceived health and control, while men reported changes in job demands.

Overall, participants reported an increase, while non-participants reported decrease

on aforementioned variables. In terms of participation and effects of SOW, findings

differed between professions, personality types and gender. In order to provide desirable

alternatives to a wider group of employees, future interventions should include

a variety of both receptive and creative activities.
