The physical work environment and employee perceived health and wellbeing

(2016) The physical work environment and employee perceived health and wellbeing. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis investigated the impact of the physical work environment on health and wellbeing as perceived by employees. Utilising a mixed method approach the research developed a new model of environmental satisfaction that highlighted the central role of occupational wellbeing and its relationship to employee perceived performance and productivity. Employees perceived health and wellbeing to be optimal when they were able to use the physical environment to conduct their work activities effectively, have supportive spaces for social interaction including natural outdoor areas for recreation and relaxation, and were able to move about and set informal fitness routines.
