Download or read book Working environment and productivity written by Lars Foldspang and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2014-07-04 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalisation and demographic trends underline the twin challenge of the Nordics with productivity stagnation and a decreasing work force. Increasing productivity and the work force will be an answer to both. A good work environment can do both: If less people have to take sick leave as result of bad work environments, this will contribute to increasing the work force. Also, for some time, a relationship between work environment and productivity has been hypothesised. Happy, healthy workers, in short, are more productive than not-so-happy and not-so-healthy workers are. This report is based on the most comprehensive empirical study of the cohension between working envi-ronment and productivity. It confirms the hope of many, i.e. that improvements in working environment and improved productivity are highly correlated. The results are robust across time and the investigated countries.

Download or read book Achieving Quality of Life at Work written by Suhana Mohezar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-23 with total page 145 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: This book examines the impact of downsizing on employee morale and productivity. Downsizing, due to economic changes, has played an integral part in business, the public sector, and schools. No longer are companies inclined to maintain the status quo for the sake of employee loyalty. Downsizing has have resulted in the lives and careers of employees being destroyed. The purpose of this study was to provide insight on the perception of the work environment in light of downsizing in the states of California and Illinois Cooperative Extension. The primary role of Extension is to plan pertinent programs that are effective in meeting the educational needs of the community in agriculture, family and consumer studies, and youth development. This study focuses on how to maintain professional competencies with less staff. Data was provided by the Manson's Workplace Environment Analysis Inventory, and original instrument, to secure reactions of employees in a downsized environment, specifically on morale, survivor job security, and trust. The findings suggested that even though there were discrepancies between the employees' and management's perceptions of morale and survivors job security, they did share similar perceptions on trust in the workplace. The results of this study can be used in designing leadership training programs for community based organizations and others faced with downsizing.

Download or read book The Relationship of Workplace Design on Employees Perceived Productivity written by Faiza Sharif and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 65 pages. 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.
