The Impact of Shared Space in Administrative Building Offices on Employee Behavior and Job Performance

Current research investigates the influence of social spaces on work behavior and productivity, particularly in settings such as offices, and even more particularly, in university context. The look is more about working together and the paper studies the behaviour of employees in the space in the same regard as how they interact, team work and work alone also. This article examined the perception of the impact of our shared spaces on performance measures at work, specifically speed, accuracy, and error rate. This was an exploratory mixed-method analysis comprising qualitative and quantitative research using semi-structured interviews and observations and surveys and performance assessments. Combined, this holistic approach facilitates an understanding of the social domains in which each domain correlates with various employee outcomes. These results may help organizations to refine office design in their efforts to optimize employee well-being and productivity in the context of changing workplaces.
