Herzberg et al.’s seminal two-factor theory of motivation theorized that satisfaction and dissatisfaction were not two opposite extremes of the same sequence, but two separate entities caused by quite different facets of work – these were labelled as “hygiene factors” and “motivators”. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managerial_psychology |
Hygiene factors are characterized as extrinsic components of job design that contribute to employee dissatisfaction if they are not met. Hygiene factors include: supervision working conditions company policies salary relations with co-workers | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managerial_psychology |
Motivators are intrinsic to the job itself and include aspects such as achievement development responsibility recognitionIntrinsic factors have long been acknowledged as important determinants of motivation.

The average person dislikes work and will avoid it he/she can. Therefore, most people must be forced with the threat of punishment to work towards organisational objectives. The average person prefers to be directed; to avoid responsibility; is relatively unambitious, and wants security above all else. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Managerial_psychology |
Effort in work is as natural as work and play. People will apply self-control and self-direction in the pursuit of organisational objectives, without external control or the threat of punishment.

Shamanic Music is ritualistic music used in religious and spiritual ceremonies associated with the practice of shamanism. korean shamanism has a special role in folk music. Shamanic music makes use of various means of producing music, with an emphasis on voice and rhythm. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
It can vary based on cultural, geographic, and religious influences. The hereditary mudang (one of the two basic kinds of shamans in korea) families have been long committed to music and created a traditional musician-priest proficiency since its origin,in the era of the three kingdoms Recently in Siberia, music groups... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
Since a Shamanic ritual includes a spiritual purpose and motive, it cannot be regarded as a musical performance, even though shamans use music (singing, drumming, and other instruments) in their rituals. Several things follow the ritual. First, a shamanic ritual performance is, above all, a series of actions and not a ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
Third, it is important for the success of the ritual that it be given its own clearly defined context that is quite different from any kind of entertainment. Fourth, any theatrical elements that are added to impress an audience are of a type to make the contact with the spirits seem more real and not to suggest the per... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
Breaks may happen because a spirit is proving difficult to communicate with, or the shaman needs to call a different spirit. Typically, phases of the performance are broken off abruptly, perhaps to be restarted after a gap, perhaps not. The rhythmic dimension of the music of shamans' rituals has been connected to the i... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
It has been argued that shamanism and spirit possession involve contrasting kinds of special states of mind. The shaman actively enters the spirit world, negotiates with her or his helper spirit and then with other spirits as necessary, and moves between different territories of the spirit world. The possessed medium, ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
Possession music is typically longer in duration, mesmeric, loud, and intense, with climaxes of rhythmic intensity and volume to which the medium has learned to respond by entering a trance state: the music is not played by the medium but by one or more musicians. In shamanism, the music is played by the shaman, confir... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
Sound is tactile; whereas visual information is experienced at the surface, auditory information seems to be both outside and inside the body. In oral cultures in which survival involves close contact with nature, sound often connects inner feelings to features of the natural environment. In many cases, this holds also... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
It has been suggested that the sound material used by the shaman constitutes a system of sounds. This idea of semiotics of the sound material would imply a symbolic language shared between the shaman and the surrounding community. However, the evidence suggests that any symbolic language elements are understood only by... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
In other words, the symbolic language, if there is one, is more likely to be shared with the spirits than with a human community.A shaman may use different sounds for different ritual purposes: Setting up the sound space of the ritual A very important element in Siberian shamanism is the use of hanging metallic objects... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
Different individual shamans and different local traditions may use different sounds. For example, in the south of Tuva and in Mongolia the khomus, or jaw harp is commonly used in shamanising. Preparation Particular sounds, like bells, may be used for purifying the place in which the ritual is to be performed. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
This is because a ritual involving contact with the spirits is always potentially dangerous, and one of the dangers is that pollution. Calling and sending back spirits A bell may also be used for calling or sending back spirits. Shamans will also imitate the sounds of birds and animals in order to call spirits. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
Sami shamanic singing, called Joik, is also about summoning, for example, animal spirits, rather than singing about them or representing them: the spirit is experienced as being present. Healing Within shamanic ritual, sound can also be used as a healing power, conceived as a way of directing spiritual energy from the ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
The shaman's song - or algysh in Tuvan - is personal to the shaman and tells of her or his birthplace, initiation, ancestral pedigree, special gifts, and special connections to particular spirits. The melody and words are composed by the shaman and generally remain the same throughout the shaman's professional life. Th... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
It serves to remind the shaman of their shamanic identity and power. It proclaims the shaman's abilities and announces the shaman to the spirits. In some traditions, the shaman's song may be broken up into short sections, varied, and recombined in different performances. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
Korea is the only country where shamanism appears to have been a state religion practised by the literate classes, during the Three Kingdoms Period (57BC-668AD). Under successive dynasties, shamanism was gradually relegated to a popular or folk status with the arrival of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. The early of... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
Furthermore, since the emergence of Korean contemporary nationalism, there has been a strong and sustained state intervention to preserve artistic traditions. All of these factors make it uniquely difficult in Korea to distinguish the 'pure' from hybrid and concert forms of shamanic ritual music. For example, Sinawi is... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
In the ritual context Sinawi, is often performed by a small ensemble with the changgo hour-glass drum and two melodic instruments, often the taegum flute and the piri oboe.

Before Buddhism came to Tibet, the local form of shamanism was Bön. Bön developed into an organised religion. When Buddhism arrived, both religions began competing with each other and incorporated many of each other's practices. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
The Bön shaman's drum on a pole became part of Tibetan Buddhist ritual music ensembles. Also, the shang - a kind of bell cymbal - became incorporated into Buddhist rituals. It was formerly only used by shamans to clear away negative energy before shamanic rituals. The practice of giving a sonorous identity to deities, ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanic_music |
From the late 1980s with the loosening up of political restrictions several of Siberian native cultures underwent a cultural renaissance, shamans began to practice openly again, and musicians formed bands drawing on shamanic traditions.

In the West, bands began to apply the label 'shamanic' loosely to any music that might induce a trance state. This was partly due to the rarity of actual recordings of shamans' rituals.
