    The Factors Affecting Job Satisfaction with Dancing as a Career for Lebanese Dancers
    (2021) Kandoyan, Mher
    Many dancers opt out of their dancing careers due to some instabilities that come with such a career. In this study, I wanted to shed light on this topic, and provide the necessary guidance for a dancer to be satisfied and successful in his or her career. In order for a dancer to succeed in a dancing career, the career must be recognized for being a protean career, where versatility and flexibility through switching different jobs and assuming different roles is essential. This study aims at figuring out the characteristics and motivations of a dancer and their relationship with the dancer’s job satisfaction. After many unofficial interviews and discussions with professionals and colleagues in the dancing field, I decided to do a scientific study about the topic. This study followed a quantitative approach by sending a questionnaire to Lebanese dancers who pursue a dancing career. The sample obtained consisted of 120 respondents occupying different roles in dancing. The analysis of the data was conducted on SPSS. The study concluded that intrinsic motivations impact job satisfaction in a dancing career, while extrinsic motivations do not. It also showed that having a harmonious passion, the readiness of the dancer to asses and adapt to different situations, and persistence through maintaining support mechanisms and committing to decisions have a positive impact on the overall job satisfaction of a dancer.
