Impact of Office Design on Satisfaction of Government Employees in Laguna Provincial Capitol, Philippines

摘要

Satisfaction of employees in the workplace is influenced by many factors such as compensation, career growth and development, interaction to peers and office design. Several tools were used in this study in determining the impact of office design on the satisfaction of government employees in the Laguna Provincial Capitol. Different office types present inside the said institution were first recognized, and seven office types were identified as follows: individual office, shared room, small open plan, medium open plan, large open plan, cubicle, and half partition. In this study, importance- satisfaction analyses were conducted to determine what office design elements should be given priority per office type. To significantly improve satisfaction of employees on their office design, the management should focus on the office design elements that fall on the second quadrant of the Importance Satisfaction Matrix, as these elements have relatively high importance for the employees; however, satisfaction of employees on these elements is relatively low.
