Space Planning and Organisational Performance
The role of the physical properties of work setting and environment, as well as management processes over time, in bringing about improved organisational performance in terms of management effectiveness and increased productivity, has been noted by several authors. This chapter explores how the built environment and its physical properties of work setting and environment, as well as management processes promotes or retards organisational change in terms of management effectiveness and increased productivity. The chapter reviews the literature briefly on space planning, organisational performance and innovative work settings. It also presents a number of hypotheses and test results. Although subtle shifts were observed in the aspects of organisational performance that seem predicated on innovative work settings, to some extent the proposition that the physical properties and design of the workplace can influence organisational performance, positively or negatively, is validated.
