A Theoretical Framework and Analytical Discussion on Uncongenial Physical Workplace Environment and Job Performance among Workers in Industrial Sectors

摘要

The purpose of this research is to explore the theoretical framework of the physical workplace environment and its effects on job performance. Early researchers have classified five factors of the workplace environment that can affect job performances: sound, temperature, air, light and colour, and space. These findings though largely still contradictory; still play a major role in the determinants of workers’ job performance. Therefore, a recommendation of a better and congenial physical environmental design has been suggested by describing a new kind of work centre, acoustic privacy and general kind of work setting.
