MSc research - how does your office affect productivity?

BigTarra

I am currently carrying out some research into the effect of office design on worker's productivity and motivation.

If you work in an office environment please could you take 2 minutes to complete my survey? It doesn't ask for any personal information.

The web address is the surveymonkey site, followed by /r/officedesign1


Thanks

The only place surveys are allowed is on the surveys board.... so I have moved it there.

Completed.

May I suggest you've missed an important trick - one of the biggest issues where I work (c.6000 employees) is the recent switch to all open plan hotdesking with an 8:10 ratio.

The open plan area (no privacy screens or cubicles) effects privacy, temp, noise levels, mental health, ability to carry out sensitive work... whole range of issues.

Hotdesking then brings it's own issues when it comes to finding somewhere to sit, finding someone you need to talk to, the requirement for clear desk working depersonalising the work environment.

Then don't get me started on 8:10!

I know you'll need qualitative research, but if you ask a more general question about office environment and productivity on the job board (no survey), you'll get a wealth of qualitative feedback.
