- Abstract
-
We aimed to determine the effects of a closed (versus an open) physical office environment on worker attitude, perception, and interpersonal relationships. A closed environment provides for privacy but isolates employees; while, an increased interruptions. The results suggest that the use of modular furniture systems may provide physical comfort (privacy) and still maintain an interactive climate for workers in an office setting.
