Linking indoor environment conditions to organizational productivity: a field study

摘要

Studies were made to assess the importance of window access to office worker satisfaction with lighting. Physical and questionnaire data were collected from 95 workstations at an open-plan office building in Michigan, USA. The physical measurements encompassed thermal, lighting, and acoustic variables, furniture dimensions, and an assessment of potential exterior view. Occupants answered a detailed questionnaire probing environmental and job satisfaction, and aspects of well-being such satisfaction with management and compensation. These data were used to test, via mediated regression, a model linking the physical environment, through environmental satisfaction, to job satisfaction and other related measures.
