The influence of psychosocial factors on productivity when implementing new office designs - a longitudinal explorative study in the Swedish public sector

Although several psychosocial factors seemed to matter for a positive result of an office change, the present study contributes primarily with the knowledge that change always takes place in a unique context for each specific organisation. The mechanisms are interconnected and complex, concerning for instance organisational culture and structure, characteristics of work tasks, and differences in the implementation process.
