Escaping the Cubicle

Abstract: A rise in contingent work, the increasing real estate costs for organizations, technological advances, and more recently, restrictions on movement emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a sharp increase in the number of employees working from home.

“…In that case, it is customary to consider how these environments might not meet the minimum criteria for creating a human-scale work environment. Moreover, due to the overlap between the work environment and the home environment, encroachment of the latter is inevitable, with no possibility of clearly defining the boundaries between the two domains [67].

“…The physical work environment can be explained as the space where people perform their work activities ( Armitage et al, 2021 ). Before the pandemic, several physical home-workspace characteristics affected people's decision to WFH, such as the availability of space ( Moos & Skaburskis, 2008 ) and the experience of visual and auditory privacy ( Sander et al, 2021 ). Due to obligatory, fulltime WFH, home-workspace characteristics (e.g., window views, room size, (day)light, temperature, noise insulation, and furniture) have become even more important ( Awada et al, 2021 ).…”
