Download or read book The Effect of Workplace Design to Employee Engagement Collaborative Capability and Perceived Work Performance in Coworking Spaces written by Hannah Angelica Go and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, University of Santo Tomas (College of Commerce and Business Administration), course: Human Resource Development Management, language: English, abstract: The Coworking space phenomenon is rapidly growing across the countries of North America, Europe, and Asia. Owing to its functional work environment, it offers coworkers a collaborative atmosphere that makes them more involved at work. The research study aims to describe the causal relationship of workplace design to perceived work performance and to employee engagement and collaborative capability as mediating variables through the use of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). A total of 350 coworkers aged 18-60 years old, from 27 different coworking spaces in Metro Manila, Philippines participated in the study. The findings of this research revealed that workplace design has no direct effect on perceived work performance; hence, perceived work performance improves when coworkers are more engaged and have better collaborative capability. Nonetheless, the rest of the hypothesized premises were affirmed in the result of this study. This paper can help the HR managers and the business centers to create a more flexible and constructive workplace setting for their employees. Further, the results can be used as a basis for the fundamental shift of the traditional workspace into a new creative workplace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines degree of job satisfaction of the faculty and staff members working in the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) of Karachi, both public and private sectors, specifically with the workplace design and its impact on the perceived employee productivity. The independent variables of the study are Office Layout (furniture, equipment, and office type) and Physical Environment (temperature, lighting, noise, aesthetics, and aroma) with an intervening variable of Job Satisfaction which has sub constructs of employee attitude towards work, comfort, and level of communication. Perceived Employee Productivity is the dependent variable. This study is quantitative in nature and encompasses the Post Positivism paradigm. The deductive approach is employed and survey method is opted for this research. Questionnaires were distributed to 400 faculty and staff members working in different HEIs. The quota sampling method has been used. The study entails descriptive analysis, ANOVA, Pearson correlations, and regression analysis of the data collected. The results indicate that a better workplace environment motivates employees and produces better results. However, office layout is more significant than the physical environment as employee is in immediate contact with the furniture, office equipment, and type of office. The demographic characteristics such as gender, age, and income showed no significant impact on employee productivity. In addition, regression analysis showed that job satisfaction with the work environment is significant predictor of employee productivity in the HEIs.
Download or read book A Handbook of Theories on Designing Alignment Between People and the Office Environment written by Rianne Appel-Meulenbroek and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-16 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although workplace design and management are gaining more and more attention from modern organizations, workplace research is still very fragmented and spread across multiple disciplines in academia. There are several books on the market related to workplaces, facility management (FM), and corporate real estate management (CREM) disciplines, but few open up a theoretical and practical discussion across multiple theories from different fields of studies. Therefore, workplace researchers are not aware of all the angles from which workplace management and effects of workplace design on employees has been or could be studied. A lot of knowledge is lost between disciplines, and sadly, many insights do not reach workplace managers in practice. Therefore, this new book series is started by associate professor Rianne Appel-Meulenbroek (Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands) and postdoc researcher Vitalija Danivska (Aalto University, Finland) as editors, published by Routledge. It is titled ‘Transdisciplinary Workplace Research and Management’ because it bundles important research insights from different disciplinary fields and shows its relevance for both academic workplace research and workplace management in practice. The books will address the complexity of the transdisciplinary angle necessary to solve ongoing workplace-related issues in practice, such as knowledge worker productivity, office use, and more strategic workplace management. In addition, the editors work towards further collaboration and integration of the necessary disciplines for further development of the workplace field in research and in practice. This book series is relevant for workplace experts both in academia and industry. This first book in the series focuses on the employee as a user of the work environment. The 21 theories discussed and applied to workplace design in this book address people’s ability to do their job and thrive in relation to the office workplace. Some focus more on explaining why people behave the way they do (the psychosocial environment), while others take the physical and/or digital workplace quality as a starting point to explain employee outcomes such as health, satisfaction, and performance. They all explain different aspects for achieving employee-workplace alignment (EWA) and thereby ensuring employee thriving. The final chapter describes a first step towards integrating these theories into an overall interdisciplinary framework for eventually developing a grand EWA theory.

Download or read book Experiential Workplace Design for Knowledge Work Organizations written by Branka V. Olson and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The built environment can have a significant positive (or negative) effect on our work experience. At an individual level, we intuitively understand the effects of the physical space, but when we try to demonstrate the sources and types of effects, we are often unable to do so. This lack of evidence creates a divergence of opinion between management, workforce, and design professionals as to the value that workspace design adds to organizational success and why organizational leadership should invest in more mindful design of knowledge work environments. To address this problem of practice, an exploratory, multi-method series of three studies was conducted. The first study is qualitative in nature and explores how knowledge work organizations and design teams develop workspace design projects. The results reveal a divergence of vision, values, and vernacular amongst the actors in the initial design criteria-setting phase that obscures a unified problem definition resulting in disparate perceptions of workspace success. It also reveals that workers are not directly engaged in the process of determining the problem definition and design criteria. The second study evaluates workers' perceived satisfaction with components of their workspace as predictors of their emotional and behavioral response to work. This quantitative study measures workers' cognitive assessment of satisfaction with the components of their workspace and facilities and tests their predictive value on worker job engagement, job satisfaction and performance. The results demonstrate that workers' satisfaction with components of the work environment do not predict the effects on the emotional states of workers. Thus, the study uncovers deeper issues involved in determining the effects of workspace on emotional and behavioral outcomes. A third study assesses the workers' affective experience of the integral work environment on their emotional response to work. The results indicate an overwhelming effect of the experiential workplace on the emotional response of workers, including engagement. This set of three studies points towards a new paradigm for the methodology of workplace design project delivery by placing emphasis on the worker holistic, integral experience of the workplace. A new, emergent process model is proposed, which is worker centered, that establishes a clear relationship between the physical work environment and organizational performance outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an understanding and imaging of how a stress-free workplace might be designed and implemented in the context of the ‘new normal.’ Statistics show that more and more people are experiencing an increase in work-related stress, and its impact on individual psychology and well-being as well as organizational performance can be devastating. Globally, the most recent data on work-related illnesses account for 2.4 million deaths. Against this backdrop, and taking stock of how the pandemic is affecting the workplace and employee well-being, this book proposes transformations in work spaces, from implementing effective “greening” features, to more efficient technology-supported spaces. It establishes links between workplace design and creativity, happiness and productivity, confronting related issues such as generation gaps, digital interruptions, collaborative work environments and sustainability, and their respective connections with workspace environment and well-being. The book situates this discussion within a broader discussion on work and quality of life. Furthermore, the book demonstrates how several sustainable development goals might be achieved through transformed work spaces. Through an intersection between organizational psychology, well-being and quality of life studies, sociology, human resources, and ergonomics, this book is a timely examination of work-related stress in relation to work spaces that require rethinking and transformation in the throes, and wake, of the pandemic.
