Opis

Each workplace has a slightly different physical environment - the buildings, furnishings, equipment, lighting, air quality and the arrangement of all those things. Some environments can enhance communication and productivity, while others can be distracting or harmful to employees. This book looks at how the physical environment of work shapes organizational behaviour, and shows that our surroundings at work can have a big influence on employee wellbeing and performance. Drawing upon the latest research, the book provides comprehensive coverage of this intriguing topic - from theories of psychological ownership and work design, to cultural issues and technology in the workplace. Its international range of contributors provide voices from North America, Europe, Australasia and the Middle East. The Physical Environment of Work will be valuable supplementary reading for advanced students, researchers and practitioners across organizational behaviour, HRM, organizational and environmental psychology, and workspace design.
