THE ROLE OF COMMON SPACES IN SHAPING ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE

The paper deals with the presentation of qualitative research on the issue of organizational shared spaces versus the formation of organizational culture. Research on various organizational spaces is not very widespread in the field of management science, so it seems reasonable to submit a contribution to the discussion in this field. The main research question is to identify Polish managers’ perceptions of shared spaces and the relationship with elements of organizational culture. Qualitative research methodology in the form of structured in-depth interviews was used. The results indicate the great importance of shared spaces in the organization on the formation of favorable working environment as a dimension of organizational culture.
