However, compared to other kinds of artists, professional dancers-who rely on physical movements to elicit aesthetic emotions in audiences-have fewer years in which to fully develop and showcase their talents ( Kim 2012). Aspiring dancers must first finish their studies at the junior-college level or higher and can then strive to become professional dancers. Generally, considerable time is required for dancers to establish themselves professionally. The dancer’s body is a tool and an instrument it is the very basis of a dancer’s artistic expression ( Banerjee et al. It is an activity that satisfies people’s inner longings to express thoughts and feelings through their bodies ( Atkinson and Duffy 2019 Ssebuuma and Martin 2018). Accordingly, we outlined four recommendations for the organizations: (1) convey the importance of the organization’s mission and values to organizational members (2) increase each organizational member’s decision-making and autonomy (3) encourage members to cooperate while working in the domains of their specific positions and (4) discourage members from neglecting their organizational responsibilities and resorting to egoism.ĭance is an art form that uses physical expression to elicit aesthetic emotions in audiences. This study found that fostering workplace spirituality was paramount for female professional dancers in an organization. (3) The team trust of female professional dancers showed a statistically significant positive influence on self-esteem (except when using jamovi).

(2) The positive psychological capital of female professional dancers showed a statistically significant positive influence on team trust and self-esteem. (1) The workplace spirituality of female professional dancers showed a statistically significant positive influence on positive psychological capital, team trust, and self-esteem. To test the hypotheses, we performed a structural equation model analysis using three statistical programs: SmartPLS, GSCA Pro, and jamovi.

We conducted the surveys in two countries-the United States and the United Kingdom-and ultimately obtained 441 samples. The subjects of this study were female professional dancers. Based on the self-transcendence theory and immaturity-maturity theory, this study empirically tested the influence of female professional dancers’ workplace spirituality on positive psychological capital, team trust, and self-esteem.
