Knowledge Working Behavior in Workplace Mornitored by UWB Sensor Network System

Abstract

In this study, we focused on knowledge workers' working behavior in workplace. With spatial temporal trajectories got by UWB sensor network, the objective data of knowledge worker s' behavior about when, where and how long was obtained. Then, the working behavior characters influenced by workplace layout were clarified. It was clear that the workers spent most of time in self-desk area and meeting area and stayed longer than 10 minutes per time there. Although workers spent fewer time in support area, they visited there more frequently. It was clear that the knowledge workers always chose the table in meeting space which is nearest from their self-desk for staying.
