Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This book chapter focuses on office experience design from both the individual employee and the group and organizational perspective, since the experience of the office and its influence operate simultaneously at these levels. The presented review shows that the experience of office architecture, similar to other architectural experiences, is a holistic experience created by the combined effect of the physical characteristics of the environment and the functional feature of office work. As such, the office experience is a contextual experience, which, in this book chapter, is approached through an investigation of the role of different dimensions in the workplace design and their importance for employees’ environmental satisfaction. This is done by a presentation of three separate studies that from various perspectives investigate employees’ satisfaction with design-related factors in different office designs. Although the studies have partly different dimensions in focus, they all indicate that personal control is a key factor for high employee satisfaction and that different factors can enable this using different means. Recognizing this, the author believes there is a need for a holistic office design that identifies the different needs related to office work that is founded in the contextual experience of the office.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article contains an exploratory survey of key determinants of future office workplaces, taking into account the current discourse on the subject, by framing the disparate knowledge on the subject in an office design context. The aim is not to present a full review of this wide field, which covers various disciplines and participants with different backgrounds. Instead, the aim is to present the subject of future workplaces and how it is debated in the various fields and the different perspectives applied to it, in order to make the subject easily accessible to architects and designers. This is achieved by gathering various discourses within the field and presenting these from a design perspective. This survey applies a triangulation approach, where knowledge is retrieved from three sources: practice, research and case study, from which interview data is utilized. A method that highlights and contrasts different aspects and perspectives on the subject. In addition to gathering this disparate range of discourse describing the future workplace, the primary result of this survey is the identification of six "shaping factors" that dictate the future office: 1) Generation Y, 2) Diversity of workforce, 3) Digital development, 4) Office, a meeting place, 5) Branding, 6) Flexibility. This article presents the relations between these six points as well as the potential risks and benefits from their combined and individual use. The article also aims to identify potentially important future topics to develop and study in office design, in order to be better prepared to meet the future.

- In this exploratory study, we investigated the relationship between office design and employee perception of its contribution to job satisfaction, comfort, and performance. The study includes 4,352 employees in seven different office designs. Associations between workspace satisfaction and perceived access to supportive facilities (ancillary spaces for concentrated work and for different meetings) were also investigated since these factors may be related to employees' workspace satisfaction. Multivariate linear and logistic regression analyses were performed separately for men and women with adjustments for age and education. Supplementary correlation analyses were performed between workspace satisfaction and perceived access to supportive facilities. Results showed differences between employees' workspace satisfaction in studied office designs. Those with the lowest ratings of access to supportive facilities reported the lowest degree of satisfaction. The best results were found in cell-offices and the worst ones in hot-desking offices. Gender differences were also observed.
