Abstract
|
Generally, open-plan office layout is believed to increase communication and collaboration among employees. At the same time, open-plan layouts are also seen as disruptive due to noise and no privacy. This research is aimed to study a multi-national company in Penang, on whether an open office environment, which was implemented recently has led to lower job satisfaction and lesser performance among its employees. This study will help employers and management of Company X to ascertain that open plan office might impact overall productivity and profitability of the organization. Employers and leadership team prefer open plan office because it is seen as cost saving and encouraging more teamwork among employees. An enclosed private office is preferred by employees, particularly due to its acoustics, privacy and the proxemics issues. This study will reveal current employees’ of Company X’s perception and attitude towards open plan office and its impact on job satisfaction and employee productivity. This research also will give more information to the employers in designing their office layout and recommendation on how to improve its working conditions, so that employees can conduct their jobs and responsibilities in an effective manner.
