“…Veitch and Newsham 4 found few performance effects involving planned comparisons between direct and indirect lighting systems, and the effects they observed were of comparable size to the ones found here. 6 Similarly, Eklund et al 10 found no effects of light distribution on clerical work (data entry and proofreading).…”

R.; Veitch, J. A.; Newsham, G. R.; Jones, C.; Heerwagen, J.; Myer, M.; Hunter, C. M. A version of this document is published in / Une version de ce document se trouve dans : Lighting Research and Technology, v. 38, no. 3, Sept. 2006, pp. 191-223 Lighting Research &Technology , v. 38(3) (2006) AbstractThis paper describes two experiments concerning the effects of variations in lighting quality on office worker performance, health, and well-being. Experiment 1 had four experimental conditions: a regular array of fully direct recessed parabolic luminaires; direct / indirect luminaires with no control; direct / indirect luminaires with a switchable desk lamp; and, workstation-specific direct / indirect luminaires with control over the direct portion. Experiment 2 contrasted two conditions with no individual lighting control: a regular array of recessed prismatic lensed luminaires, and suspended direct / indirect luminaires. Participants considered the direct / indirect systems to be comfortable than the direct-only systems, with a further increase in comfort associated with individual control in Experiment 1. There were no simple main effects of lighting quality on the performance of any task, although the expected changes in performance associated with task visibility, practice, and fatigue were found. Interactions between lighting quality and time suggested that having a degree of individual control of lighting tended to maintain motivation and vigilance over the day.

“…This path is the one reported by Veitch et al (2008). The vision path is based on a century of lighting research; we predicted that visual capabilities would have a direct effect on simple task performance (Eklund, Boyce, & Simpson, 2000;Rea & Ouellette, 1991). The affect path represents our prediction, which we based on the positive affect model, that pleasure would positively predict both simple task performance and work engagement.…”

M.; Newsham, Guy R. Linking Lighting Appraisals to Work BehaviorsJennifer A. Veitch, Mariska G. M. Stokkermans and Guy R. Newsham NRC Construction, Ottawa, ON, Canada AbstractAmong those concerned with practical matters of office design, demonstrations that the work environment affects employees' well-being and work behaviors are thought to be important to support client decision-making. Veitch, Newsham, Boyce and Jones (2008) developed a conceptual model in which lighting appraisal and visual capabilities predicted aesthetic judgments, mood, and performance. This paper extends that model to include measures of work engagement, using experimental data originally reported by Duval (2003, 2004b). Structural equation modeling showed strong fit to a model in which lighting appraisals indirectly influenced work engagement through aesthetic judgments and mood. This evidence that providing a satisfactory work environment can contribute to employee effectiveness merits further study by environmental and organizational psychologists.

“…Positive visual perception and mood increase efficiency when making some types of decisions and promote creative work performances [11]. Negative visual effects impaired task performances and productivity when office tasks were performed [12,13]. People showed a strong tendency to believe that visual perception and mood are influenced by lighting conditions [14].…”
