Toward a Creative Ecology of Workplace Design
This chapter recognizes the evolving ecology of workplace design. It introduces an ecological model that speaks to conditions for creativity as well as recognizing obstacles preventing innovation from occurring. The ecological model presented in the chapter fosters an increased understanding of adaptations and innovations in workplace design. The chapter discusses one example of the evolving workplace influenced by technology, new work processes, and expectations; in this case, comparing knowledge transfer and technology‐based workplaces to mid‐century precedents. It then describes need for adaptability in the individual and across groups defining a work environment. The chapter shares insights from a multi‐methods study exploring job satisfaction, climate for creativity, worker characteristics, and the physical workplace. It concludes by drawing conclusions about ways to cultivate a creative ecology in the workplace and raises questions for additional thought and study.
