“…A single-sample t test was used in order to show the significant change in staying and moving when office workers were located at different types of workstations compared with the mean (without clarification of workstation type). 4.1 All office workers' moving and staying according to individual workstation type As presented in Tables 6 and 7, comparing the means of all investigated office workers, when they selected workstations at the "window side" as an individual workstation, their frequency of moving inside the office increased significantly (7.8 t/h, p < 0.05); meanwhile, their frequency of staying at the same area also increased significantly (1.02 t/h, p < 0.05) by increasing their staying frequency at both the "meeting corner zone" (0.56 t/h, p < 0.05) and the "corridor side zone" (0.4 t/h, p < 0.01).…”

“…Other studies have analyzed office worker behavior. Yamada et al [4,5] examined how communication between office workers was affected by changes in the office layout. Mori et al [6] clarified the relationship between the layout plan and the working style in an office; this study included investigations into the staying location, content of working behavior, and moving times.…”

This study experimentally examined the effects of spatial environment and the layout of a conference room on creativity. It also provides the results of psychological evaluation of brainstorming groups with the aim of determining favorable characteristics of a conference room for brainstorming. The study included 30 subjects who were divided into six groups of five people each. Each group brainstormed in two rooms; the first room had a standard layout for all teams, and the second room had six different layouts, including the standard one, for each team.Three of the six groups (hereafter called, G I), started from Room 2, and the other three groups (G II) started from Room 1. After a ten-minute brainstorming session for each team, the subjects were evaluated psychologically. Three correlative psychological factors were determined for the brainstorming groups, and psychological evaluation showed different factor loadings and features in several evaluations for each room. It was found that the spatial environment and layout affect each factor, and a significant difference was found in the number of ideas generated for the standard layout between the two rooms because of the effects of spatial environment. In addition, the changes of personal space affected by physical environment contribute to opposing tendencies between G I and G II with regard to choice of favorable/unfavorable layout for brainstorming.

This study compared workers' space use and verbal communication patterns in a big open plan workplace (WOP) to those in the same workplace with partition walls (WP) that separate the specialized spans, and clarified workers' space use and verbal communication in terms of post and specialty. It is found that in both workplaces, workers spent over 55% of time staying nearby individual workstations, where around 50% verbal communication took place. Without the partition walls, the workers tended to stay 3.5% and to communicate 5.1% longer at the "Other Specialty". Finally, suggestions on improving current layouts are proposed.
