Abstract/Summary
Positive psychology introduced the concept of flow, which, when applied to the workplace, is defined as the optimal experience that entails an individual to pursue a task for no other perceived reason other than self-fulfillment, regardless of external rewards. Literature points out that individuals who most often experience flow are artists, stating they are among the least compensated for work, yet they choose to remain in the same profession and are highly satisfied. The relationships between flow and job satisfaction, as well flow and organizational commitment, were tested amongst Filipino employees in artistic and cultural institutions. Identifying which of the nine components of flow that characterized the sample's work experiences was also carried out. The sample consisted of 115 employees from 25 institutions, with ages ranging from 20 to 68 years and 63 males and females. Results showed that there is a significant relationship between flow and job satisfaction, as well as flow and organizational commitment. The components of flow that were found to be the most prominent were clear and immediate feedback, perceiving an altered sense of time, and experiencing work as autotelic. Results and research implications and suggestions are further discussed in the study.
