| description | Studies have established that satisfaction with the physical work environment has an impact on
individual productivity. This study investigated the influence of physical work environment
satisfaction (including environmental design, welfare facilities, work organization, equipment
and tools, and health and safety) on the productivity of Malaysian employees as they gradually
return to physical workplaces post-pandemic. A total of 253 working adults (135 males, 118
females, mean age = 39.00 years) participated in this cross-sectional study. The results
supported the hypotheses that the physical work environment collectively, and environmental
design and tools and equipment specifically, predict employee productivity. These findings
emphasize the importance for organizations to consistently maintain satisfaction with the
physical work environment in order to enhance employee productivity. |
