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式：对音乐领域文化工作者的研究

这项研究探讨了音乐领域的文化工作者如何应对 COVID-19 引起的封锁，以及应对措施与大流行期间个人力量的增长有何关系。疫情爆发一年后，我们对挪威音乐行业最大工会 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应对战斗的行为。此外，寻求和提供社会支持、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与个人实力的增强呈正相关。我们观察到职业群体之间存在显着差异。音乐家选择技能培养，音乐教育者致力于技术采用，而后台工作人员比其他职业群体报告了更大程度的飞行应对。令人惊讶的是，与长期就业者相比，个体户和临时工在发起和参与新数字概念和技术采用方面的创新程度较低。最后，临时工或自营职业者的逃离和冻结应对程度高于长期雇佣者。
