Employee affective and behavioral reactions to the spatial density of physical work environments

Article Abstract:

The impact of work area spatial density on the affective and behavioral reactions of employees is investigated. Employees who worked in dense work areas felt more crowded and dissatisfied with their work areas than those who worked in spacious areas. Employees' perceptions of crowding explained the relations between work area density and both employee tardiness and work area satisfaction. When employees had high workloads and their job required physical movement, spatial density had weaker relations to crowding perceptions and area satisfaction than in other conditions.
