オフィス環境における「セカンダリースペース」の利用と満足度に関する調査研究

抄録

This study is part of a complex research on office environments evaluating current Japanese workplaces. Qualitative and quantitative data from group interviews and questionnaires investigated the use of the following 'secondary spaces': meeting rooms, informal meeting tables, copy areas, drinking corners, toilets, smoking spaces, and resting spaces. Workers' satisfaction with these secondary spaces and with their overall work environment were analyzed with cross tabulations by age, gender and smoking habits. Toilets, smoking- and resting spaces were identified as important secondary spaces for work related thinking, informal interaction and getting information, privacy and relax. Correlation analyses identified significant relationships between satisfaction with secondary spaces and overall work-environment satisfaction.
