Enhancing team building in project-oriented organizations: An arts-based approach

Background: This study investigates the impact of an arts-based approach on team building within project-oriented organizations, focusing on Solico Kalleh Food Industry Group. Objective: The research aims to evaluate how artistic interventions affect team dynamics, including formation, conflict resolution, and overall performance. Methods: An arts-based research methodology was employed, assessing variables such as forming, storming, norming, performing, internal factors, and external factors. A paired t -test analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of these interventions. Results: The results indicated a statistically significant positive effect on the storming variable, suggesting improved team dynamics and conflict resolution. However, decreases were observed in norming, performing, internal factors, and external factors, indicating the need for careful application of artistic methods. The forming variable showed a slight non-significant increase. Conclusions: The study highlights the potential of arts-based approaches to enhance creativity, cohesion, and conflict resolution in team building. However, strategic and nuanced implementation is necessary to balance the impact on team dynamics throughout the project lifecycle. Future research should refine these strategies for optimized integration, ultimately enriching organizational dynamics and fostering successful project outcomes.
