Full textAbstract:
Today, most of us work and many of us are full-time employees. Millions of people spend the majority of their time at an office place working with other people, often in a group working with other groups. We can sense that the office is a site where we connect with others.It seems fairly obvious that when designing any office place, the need for social interaction should always be considered. Still, the contribution of the office environment to any office worker's social life is often overlooked or unobserved. The central question posed by this thesis is: Can an office place be more responsive to the social needs of humans?To address this question, the first portion of this thesis documents the need for social interaction in our everyday life and its benefits for individuals as well as the community. The second portion interprets photographs taken outside and inside conventional office environments in Indianapolis, Indiana; the photo galleries reveal the behavior of regular people around and in the work place. Three cases studies are then offered; the cases provide insights into design and the participatory processes central tosocialization. To conclude, design recommendations are offered that will better connect people to other people in the office place.This work is based on personal observations along with readings done in related subject matter as observed by social psychologists, philosophers, architects, and designers. Research conducted in the field of management provides an additional line of inquiry and its own perspectives.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: The activity-based office has had a breakthrough in the past few years. One of the reasons for this is that the technology now allows it to work properly. The concept is a type of open landscaped office that put its main focus on the design of the physical work environment. The office is divided in different areas with the purpose to match employees’ different tasks. There is still not much research done on the new concept and the research that has been carried out has been carried out in connection with the move or a maximum of 15 months after the move to the new office. Purpose: The study aimed at comparing employees' perceived perception of the classic office and the activity-based office abilities with regard to leadership, health, productivity and the social work environment. The essay also concerns how well designed the activity-based office layout is. Method: The study was a quantitative survey and the data was collected through a web survey. The web survey consisted of 25 questions relating to the categories of social, leadership, health, productivity and office layout. Analysis: The data was analyzed by generation of mean values for each category, broken down by gender, age, time in activity-based office and the total from every respondent. The data was also analyzed by a correlation analysis. Results: According to the results that was collected, the activity-based office had a overbalanced positive experience than the classical office in each category investigated, except the category regarding health. Conclusions: Based on the results, it can be noted that an activity-based office towards a classic office provides a higher value for employees in social, leadership, productivity and design. In health, however, it gives a lower value, which shows that employees had better health in the classical office. The results show that the survey can confirm what previous research has said. However, the result can not be generalized on an entire population as the number of respondents and variations was too small. To be able to generalize the results further research must be done.Introduktion: Aktivitetsbaserade kontor är något som de senaste åren blivit mer och mer vanligt. Till följd av informationsteknikens framfart har denna kontorsutformning tillåtits att fungera på ett effektivt sätt. Konceptet är en typ av öppet kontorslandskap där medarbetaren saknar en fast plats. Mycket vikt läggs på den fysiska utformningen, där olika zoner delar in kontoren i aktiva, stillsamma och tysta områden. Tidigare forskning kring det nya konceptet är otillräcklig då den forskning som finns är genomförd i samband med flytten eller max 15 månader efter inflyttningen. Syfte: Studien syftade till att jämföra medarbetares upplevda uppfattning av cellkontorets och det aktivitetsbaserade kontorets förmågor med avseende på ledarskap, hälsa, produktivitet, den sociala arbetsmiljön. Uppsatsen berör även hur väl utformat det aktivitetsbaserade kontoret är. Metod: Studien var en kvantitativ undersökning och datan som används samlades in genom en webbenkät. Enkäten bestod av 25 frågor som berörde kategorierna socialt, ledarskap, hälsa, produktivitet och kontorets utformning. Analys: Datan analyserades genom framtagande av medelvärden för respektive kategori. Totalt, uppdelat efter kön, ålder samt tid i aktivitetsbaserat kontor. Datan analyserades även genom en korrelationsanalys. Resultat: Från resultatet går det att utläsa att det aktivitetsbaserade kontoret upplevdes bättre än det klassiska cellkontoret i varje kategori förutom kategorin angående hälsa. Slutsats: Utifrån resultaten går det att konstatera att ett aktivitetsbaserat kontor gentemot ett cellkontor ger ett högre värde för de anställda i det sociala, ledarskap, produktivitet och utformning. I hälsa ger den dock sämre ett sämre värde. Resultatet visar att undersökningen kan konstatera vad tidigare forskning har bekräftat. Dock går inte resultatet att generalisera på en hel population då antal respondenter och variation var för liten. Detta är något som måste göras i ytterligare forskning.

Full textAbstract:
The importance of office physical layout has never been studied by scholars andentrepreneurs from the perspective of managing human resources in project-basedorganizations (PBOs) from a managerial perspective. This paper believes that officephysical layout has great influence on organizations’ working efficiency in PBOs. Withthe increase of PBOs, it requires a new context for human resource management (HRM).The paper mainly focuses on the impact of office physical layout on communication andinnovation in PBOs. In the literature review part, the paper collects together relevantresearches, experiments, and theoretical studies on physical layout, PBOs,communication and innovation, and finds out the gaps between the empirical situationsand current theoretical studies. Moreover, the relations between office physical layout,communications, innovation and organizational competitive advantage will be explored.The discussions and analysis are based on the premise that if people can maximize theopportunity of communication in PBOs through office physical layout, the possibility ofknowledge transfer and knowledge integration, creativity and innovation will also belargely improved. To testify this premise, we spent five months research time andfocused on four companies in Sweden and took interviews with their senior managers.The paper also does comparisons with the office physical layout in PBOs and in otherorganizations to find out whether organization’s natures will influence its working waysand their office physical layout. The implications of the work for both future researchand practice are taken into our considerations. The result of this research shows officephysical layout indeed has great impact on employees’ communication, innovation andworking efficiency. However, different organizations should take into their empiricalconditions into consideration when designing their office physical layout.

Full textAbstract:
A field study was conducted to find whether open office architecture is related to employees' perceptions of their jobs and their work groups, and to their behavior in and around their work stations. Fifty-two employees in the administrative division of a large manufacturing operation volunteered to participate by answering a questionnaire and allowing their work stations to be analyzed for levels of visual access and visual exposure, the two independent variables. Access and exposure, at first theorized to be independent and interacting functions, were found to be too highly correlated in this open off ice setting to test as originally planned. The design was modified by combining the measures of access and exposure, thereby creating a new independent variable called visual information. Under the modified design, results supported a prediction that less visual information would correlate with more positive responses to survey items about employees' job characteristics, and a prediction that less visual information would correlate with higher rates of work station occupancy. But there was no support for a prediction that more visual information would correlate with more positive responses to survey items about employees' work groups, nor was there support for a prediction that more visual information would correlate with fewer numbers of personal items displayed at employees' work stations. Suggestions were made for more appropriate tests of the original design in order to determine whether visual access and visual exposure operate as independent and interacting dynamics.

Full textAbstract:
When a company creates, rebuilds or develops new or existing workplace facilitates, research has shown such phases are of the most crucial and influential for creating healthy and effective workplaces. To include ergonomic principles in the early planning stages have proven to result in reduced expenses, and an increased ability to make influential contributions. Practitioners of Occupational Health Services (OHS) possess unique knowledge and expertise in the area, thus have potential to be a tremendous resource during the planning and projection of workspace design projects. Encouraging a participatory approach, OHS practitioners are valuable collaborators with end-users and Architects alike. In this study, three-dimensional CAD-tools were explored in order to provide OHS practitioners with methods and tools that enhance their ability to communicate workspace proposals to end-users of new or renewed office environments. Following an exploration process, a proposed design tool; SketchUp, was preceded for Usability testing. Results of the study indicated a considerable degree of applicability to OHS practitioners, despite an expressed desire for a simpler, more learnable interface. The software was believed to facilitate in the process of visualizing and communicating workspace proposals by increasing end-users understanding of the new work environment, including an enhanced ability to relate to and communicate with Architects.

The Corporate Real Estate Executive has many factors to consider when selecting and outfitting workspace for the company's employees, most of whom are knowledge workers. There are many factors to consider other than cost including the office space design, the LEED or other green building characteristics of the space,the business context in which the company operates, and how all these factors work together to impact productivity.
A workplace and productivity assessment tool was completed for four different companies to assess eight different productivity elements and how they interact to impact productivity. Two companies occupied LEED certified facilities, one company occupied a green building, and the fourth company was in conventional office space.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Why are other industries successfully using coworking spaces while the advertising industry in South Africa does not, or only partially? Can coworking spaces specifically tailored for the advertising industry invigorate the industry or will client confidentiality be the death of coworking in this industry? The purpose of this research study was to determine the viability of coworking spaces in the advertising industry in South Africa, as well as the barriers to entry and the concerns that the typical advertising person would have related to coworking spaces. This research employed a qualitative approach by means of four structured open-ended face-to-face interviews to obtain primary data about coworking spaces in Cape Town. The participants were randomly selected from advertising staff who had left the corporate environment to work for themselves from a home office, some who were using shared office space or entrepreneurs availing themselves of the advertising space. The researcher asked respondents questions about their experiences and what would be important considerations for making use of a coworking space. The key findings were that there was a need for affordable office space. Financial considerations were one of the main reasons preventing start-up entrepreneurs or self-employed individuals from moving from their home office. The location of the coworking space was of the utmost importance, because individuals did not wish to be stuck in traffic and preferred to work close to their homes. Confidentiality was a major concern for all the respondents taking part in the survey. The principle of knowledge sharing in a coworking environment is valuable, but it could have limitations in the advertising industry since most of the work is deemed confidential. Moreover, the concept of coworking was still largely unknown and had to be explained during each interview. The way we work has changed, but not the working environment.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo verificar a percepção dos funcionários sobre a influência do ambiente de trabalho na produtividade e qualidade do trabalho em um escritório do setor público. No atual contexto econômico, o investimento no ambiente de trabalho como ferramenta para otimização da performance organizacional não é mais um diferencial competitivo, mas uma necessidade. No entanto, mesmo com o desenvolvimento intenso de pesquisas no tema por parte do setor privado, o setor público ainda vive sob premissas que minimizam a importância das condições espaciais nos resultados da gestão, ocasionando poucos estudos. Frente a este cenário, a atual pesquisa se desenvolverá nesta lacuna. O método da pesquisa se classifica como uma abordagem qualitativa de natureza aplicada com fins descritivos. O procedimento técnico foi pautado no método de Avaliação Pós-Ocupação pelo uso de um checklist pré-estruturado, walkthrough exploratório, entrevistas com personagens-chave, e questionário com os usuários do ambiente para coleta de dados. Os dados foram analisados com a aplicação de estatística descritiva e análise de conteúdo. A análise dos dados permitiu concluir que os usuários do ambiente de trabalho do estudo de caso acreditam que o ambiente influencia positivamente na produtividade. Também foi possível levantar fatores de sucesso e falhas do ambiente de trabalho. Os principais fatores de sucesso foram fluxos, distâncias, estações de trabalho, espaços de convivência e iluminação. As principais falhas encontram-se na segurança contra incêndio, acessibilidade, falta de espaço e desorganização do layout e armazenamento, falta de padronização, privacidade, ruído, ventilação e controle ambiental. A pesquisa vê este diagnóstico como recomendação de um projeto de mudança das falhas, valorizando os fatores de sucesso, para a otimização do ambiente de trabalho do estudo de caso. Acredita-se ter aprofundado o conhecimento sobre o tema no setor público, buscando fomentar pesquisas futuras.The present work aims to verify the perception of employees about the influence of work environment on productivity and quality of work in a public sector office. In the current economic context, investment in the work environment as a tool for optimizing organizational performance is no longer a competitive differential, but a necessity. However, even with the increasing development of private sector research in the theme, the public sector still lives under premises that minimize the importance of spatial conditions in the management results, leading to few studies. Against this background, the current research develops in this gap. The research method is classified as a qualitative approach of applied nature for descriptive purposes. The technical procedure was based on the Post-Occupancy Assessment method using a pre-structured checklist, exploratory walkthrough, interviews with key characters, and a questionnaire with the users of the environment for data collection. The data were analyzed with the application of descriptive statistics and content analysis. Data analysis allowed to conclude that users of the case study work environment believe that the environment positively influences productivity. It was also possible to raise success factors and failures of the work environment. The main success factors were flows, distances, workstations, social living spaces and illumination. The main flaws are in fire safety, accessibility, lack of space and disorganization of layout and storage, lack of standardization, privacy, noise, ventilation and environmental control. The research sees this diagnosis as a recommendation for a project of change of the failures, valuing the success factors, for the optimization of the working environment of the case study. It is believed to have deepened the knowledge about the subject in the public sector, seeking to foster future research.

This research aimed to identify the link between the layout of workspaces in offices and the design strategies for environmental comfort. Strategies surveyed were focused on the thermal, visual and luminic comfort. In this research, visual comfort is related to issues of visual integration within and between the interior and exterior of the building. This is a case study conducted at the administrative headquarters of Centro Regional Nordeste do Instituto de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE-CRN), located in Natal/RN. The methodological strategy used was the Post-Occupancy Evaluation, which combined the survey data on the building (layout of workspaces, bioclimatic strategies adopted in the design, use of these strategies) with some techniques aimed at acquiring qualitative information related to users. The workspace layout is primordial to satisfaction and productivity of workers. Issues such as concentration, communication, privacy, personal identity, density and space efficiency, barriers (access, visual and even ventilation and lighting), among others, are associated with the layout. The environmental comfort is one of the essential elements to maintaining life quality in workplace. Moreover, it is an important factor in user`s perception of the space in which he or she are inserted. Both layout and environmental comfort issues should be collected and analyzed in the establishment phase of the programming step. That way, it is possible to get adequate answers to these questions in subsequent project phases. It was found that changes in the program that occurred over time, especially concerning persons (number and characteristics), resulted in changes in layout, generating high density and inflexible environments. It turns difficult to adjust the furniture to the occupants` requirement, including comfort needs. However, the presence of strategies for environmental quality provides comfort to spaces, ensuring that, even in situations not considered optimal, users perceive the environment in a positive way. It was found that the relationship between environmental comfort and layout takes the following forms: in changing the perception of comfort, depending on the layout of the arrangements; adjustments in layout, due to needs for comfort; and the elevation of user satisfaction and environmental quality due to the presence of strategies comfort even in situations of inadequate layout
Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar a rela??o entre o layout dos espa?os de trabalho em escrit?rios e as estrat?gias projetuais para o conforto ambiental. As estrat?gias pesquisadas foram voltadas ao conforto t?rmico, lum?nico e visual neste caso, o conforto visual foi relacionado ?s quest?es de integra??o visual interna e entre o interior e o exterior do edif?cio. Trata-se de um estudo de caso realizado na sede administrativa do Centro Regional Nordeste do Instituto de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE-CRN), localizada em Natal/RN. A estrat?gia metodol?gica utilizada na pesquisa foi a Avalia??o P?s-Ocupa??o, que combinou o levantamento de dados sobre o edif?cio (layout dos espa?os de trabalho, estrat?gias bioclim?ticas adotadas nos projetos, uso dessas estrat?gias) com t?cnicas voltadas para aquisi??o de informa??es qualitativas relacionadas aos usu?rios. O layout dos ambientes de trabalho ? fundamental para a satisfa??o e produtividade dos trabalhadores. Quest?es como concentra??o, comunica??o, privacidade, identidade pessoal, densidade e efici?ncia espacial, barreiras (de acesso, visuais e, at?, de ventila??o e ilumina??o), dentre outras, est?o associadas ao layout. O conforto ambiental ? um dos elementos indispens?veis para a manuten??o da qualidade de vida dos usu?rios. Al?m disso, ? um fator importante na percep??o do usu?rio em rela??o ao espa?o em que est? inserido. Tanto as quest?es relacionadas ao layout quanto ao conforto ambiental devem ser levantadas e analisadas na fase de estabelecimento do programa de necessidades. Dessa forma, ? poss?vel obter respostas adequadas a estas quest?es nas fases de projeto subsequentes. Verificou-se que mudan?as no programa ocorridas ao longo do tempo, especialmente relativas ?s pessoas (quantidade e caracter?sticas), resultaram em mudan?as no layout, geraram ambientes com densidade elevada e inflex?veis, o que dificulta a adequa??o do mobili?rio ?s necessidades dos ocupantes, inclusive de conforto. No entanto, a presen?a das estrat?gias de conforto proporciona qualidade ambiental aos espa?os, garantindo que, mesmo em situa??es n?o consideradas ideais, os usu?rios percebem o ambiente de forma positiva. Verificou-se que a rela??o entre layout e conforto ambiental se d? das seguintes formas: na altera??o da percep??o do conforto, dependendo dos arranjos no layout; nas adequa??es de layout em decorr?ncia de necessidades de conforto; e na eleva??o da satisfa??o dos usu?rios e da qualidade ambiental, devido ? presen?a de estrat?gias de conforto, mesmo em situa??es de inadequa??o do layout

O presente trabalho objetivou analisar as interferências dos modelos administrativos de gestão organizacionais e das tecnologias de informação e comunicação na organização do espaço físico do escritório, tendo como estudo de caso duas empresas que utilizam o modelo de Escritório Não-Territorial, ainda que parcialmente. A avaliação dos ambientes dos escritórios foi efetuada com base no diagnóstico de espaço que forneceu informações referentes às áreas de ocupação, estações de trabalho e circulações. Os usuários desses escritórios responderam a questionários referentes ao seu ambiente de trabalho, tendo sido possível confrontar informações sobre o uso do Escritório Territorial e Não-Territorial. Três são os elementos teóricos que embasam fundamentalmente a pesquisa e a partir dos quais se extraíram os conceitos fundamentais: o trabalho, a tecnologia e a cultura organizacional. Um histórico sobre a evolução dos conceitos de ocupação nos ambientes de trabalho complementa a base teórica, sempre relacionando as características do espaço físico aos modelos administrativos de gestão a às tecnologias vigentes em cada período; permitindo observar o paulatino processo de desterritorialização dos escritórios.The objective of this study was to analyze the interference of organizational management administration models and information and communication technologies in the organization of the offices physical space. Two companies that use the Non-Territorial Office, although partially, were used as case studies. The office environments were evaluated based on the diagnosis of space, which provided information concerning the occupation areas, workstations and circulation. These office users answered questionnaires concerning their work environment and it was possible to compare information about the use of Territorial and Non-Territorial offices. The study is fundamentally based on three theoretical elements from which the fundamental concepts are extracted: work, technology and the organizational culture. A history of the evolution of occupation concepts in work environments complements the theoretical basis, always relating physical space characteristics of the administrative management models to the technologies in effect at the time. This permits the observation of the offices gradual deterritorialization process.

Interior design researchers have often pointed out that office layouts tend to affect employees’ perception of personal space and the communication with others, which influences work efficiency. However, there is a lack of empirical research on the link between office layouts, personal space perception, and in-office communication. Therefore, this research aims to explore the relationship between personal space perception, in-office communication, and employees’ of different backgrounds from varying office layouts. The method of research is by survey. Utilizing questionnaires concerning the perception of personal space and in-office communication, employees of different backgrounds from four types of offices (1) Individual Processes (2) Concentrated Study (3) Group Processes (4) Transactional Knowledge participated in this study. In the end, 222 questionnaires were retrieved, with 217 of them valid. Quantitative analysis of questionnaires was conducted through descriptive statistics, factor analysis, t-test, and one-ANOVA. The results included: 1.The relationship between employees of different backgrounds and office layouts exists. 2.Personal space perception and in-office communications differ with office layouts. 3.Differences exist between the perceptions of personal space when analyzing employees of different backgrounds in different offices. 4.Differences exist between the communications when analyzing employees of different backgrounds in different offices. In conclusion, this study hopes to explain the relationship between office layouts, employees’ perception of personal space, and in-office communications, as well as providing interior designers with a better understanding of how design usage affects office employees’ perceptions of their working environment.

Offices are the main working place for the employees, so the traffic flow、lights and spaces effect the work efficiency a lot. An ideal office includes different departments, how to design the functional and improve the traffic flow furniture through analyzing the company are the main purpose for this thesis. The OECD investigation in 2015 from 38 countries tells that comparing with 2014, the working hours in Japanese and Korea is decreasing; but the working hours in Taiwan are 2150 hours, this result are higher than the average working hours(1,800 hours) from OECD. As I mention, the officers in Taiwan stay in the office for 8.8 hours every day except the 123 holidays; the working burden is increasing day by day, so the equipment and simple functional working space are out of needs, the facilities arrangements and working spaces are not suitable. Besides, offices are not the simple and chilly working environments, it emphasize for human, the working environment are more humanize、more comfortable, raising up the working efficiency people interactions and cooperation. Through redefining the working space and rearrangements, it effects working efficiency and the communication between people. This thesis will try to use Universal design and、 Morphological analysis and experts grading methods to sift through the possible elements and design more useful office desks for the users to match integral space environment arrangement and the traffic flows to raise up the working efficiency and cooperating quality.

Full textAbstract:
A research project submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of MA by coursework and research report in the field of Organisational Psychology in the Faculty of Humanities, University of Witwatersrand,Johannesburg 2018With the change in nature of work, the spaces in which work is done has also changed, prompting research into the effects of the work environment on employees. The purpose of this study is to investigate how different types of workplace office spaces will have different impacts on aspects of wellbeing in employees. The facets explored are how employees perceive their satisfaction of Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) attributes, how they perceive their performance and health within these IEQ conditions, how they perceive their current workspace affecting their physical and psychological discomfort, and how they perceived their own psychological wellbeing. A quantitative survey was compiled from previous literature, appropriate to exploring these variables. The questionnaire was piloted at a company that owns, develops, and manages property before being conducted over a two-week period at a large health insurance company in Johannesburg, Gauteng. The final survey consisted of three subscales of the Green Building Survey (Hedge & Dorsey, 2012) measuring perceived satisfaction of indoor environmental quality and its impact on health and performance; the GABO questionnaire (Pierrette et al., 2015) assessed six aspects of perceived noise; the extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire assessed physical discomfort in nine body regions; perceived psychological comfort; and perceived psychological wellbeing using the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale. Data were collected using an online survey platform. The final sample consisted of 1853 participants of different genders, races, ages, and organisational levels of a prominent South African organisation. The results of this study are beneficial to the field as literature pertaining to workspace layout is outdated and new research is needed as innovative trends in layout types are emerging. Most previous research on employee perceptions addresses productivity but not necessarily different aspects of perceived health, wellbeing, and comfort. It is expected that this study will contribute to finding clarity in a still-ambiguous field and will add to the present-day change in how and where work is done.

(MA in Industrial/Organisational Psychology)
June 2017Numerous studies have shown that the office workspace environment can have an effect on employees’ performance, satisfaction, psychological wellbeing, and other such factors. As such office workspace design has gained more traction in international research and amongst organisations globally. The office space is an organisation’s second largest expense, it is therefore pertinent that organisations, who have chosen to focus on the office to enhance employee wellbeing, choose the most appropriate and optimal environment for their employees. One of the methods to ensure employees are satisfied with the space is to utilise a user-centred approach that allows employees the opportunity to comment on the space and to communicate their needs for the space. A South African organisation that has chosen to develop its space was a health insurance company that was undergoing a workspace redesign for their new buildings. The aim of this research report was to make use of a mixed method design that may have assisted the company, and the other parties involved, in gaining greater insight into whether the layout change had performed its functions effectively, as well as to ensure that the layout had accomplished the company’s goals. The research report focused on the following variables: psychological wellbeing, physical wellbeing, work engagement, job satisfaction, perceived productivity (performance), satisfaction with the workspace layout, and collaboration/interaction. The study consisted of 158 participants. The results of the study had indicated that there was a main effect relationship between department/team groups and job satisfaction. Other results of the study had found that satisfaction with the workplace layout was related to psychological wellbeing, job satisfaction, work engagement, and productivity. The results revealed that the higher the employees’ satisfaction with the workplace layout, the higher their psychological wellbeing, job satisfaction, work engagement and productivity. The qualitative component resulted in themes that were explored both theoretically and inductively. After analysis of the themes, four main themes were devised. Based on exploration of these themes it became apparent that satisfaction with one’s workplace can be contingent on factors such as, noise and distractions, privacy, operational technology (e.g. it software/hardware/systems and WIFI), functional and up-to-date technical equipment, facility accessibility, honouring of commitments/meeting expectations of the space, personal feelings and attitudes towards change and flexibility, time consumption of activities surrounding flexibility, storage facilities that are accessible, territorialism or sabotage, and interaction/communication.

Full textAbstract:
An integrative model of effects of office characteristics and individual differences on workspace satisfaction and work behaviour was developed and tested using survey data from 139 office employees working for four organisations. Workspace experiences, role stress, environmental stressors, and interpersonal interaction were treated as intermediary variables. The variables employed in this study were derived from previous research as well as self-developed, and were divided into seven group variables. The group labels and their respective variables are: (1) office characteristics: office openness, shared office, and number of people sharing; (2) individual differences: job level, organisation tenure, and Type-A behaviour pattern; (3) workspace experience: privacy and distraction; (4) role stress and environmental stressors: role ambiguity, role conflict, superior stressor, co-worker stressor, and physical stressor; (5) interpersonal interaction: attention, social relation, and listening; (6) workspace satisfaction; (7) work behaviour: task performance and friendliness.

Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of the Master of Information Technology, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa.,2016.Office setting is a widely acceptable means of providing an enabling environment that best facilitates employees’ performance and general productivity. This study sought to investigate the impact of office setting on employee performance using, eThekwini (KwaZulu-Natal) municipal offices and employees at the Durban City Hall, as a case study. The objectives of the study were to analyse the office design, finishes and furnishings of the head office building of eThekwini municipality and identify features in the design, finishes and furnishings in terms of their suitability and comfort of the employees; assess the impact of office settings on the performance of eThekwini municipality employees at the City Hall; and propose specific settings based interventions that would address employee health, comfort and wellbeing and thereby enhance optimum performance. The study was based on a sample of 65 City Hall staff randomly drawn from various departments and units, as well as 10 senior managers. Data for the study obtained mainly from the administration of questionnaires was analysed quantitatively using SPSS and Microsoft Excel and presented with the aid of frequency distributions, pie charts, tables, pictures and graphs. The research identified considerable office settings deficiencies which included uninspiring and old-fashioned office design and decor (largely cellular offices), use of dark wooden partitions resulting in poorly illuminated offices, and continued use of old furniture at the City Hall. The study also confirmed that the settings deficiencies had varying adverse effects on the performance of City Hall employees by between (20% - 80%). The study recommends the relocation of the City Hall head office to a new modern facility designed and furnished to suit the particular needs of the organisation. The development and operation of a real estate policy that leverages on the workplace environment to attract, retain and boost employee performance has also been recommended.
