The Impact of Indoor Lighting on Work Comfortability in Temporary Workspace at Home during Work from Home (WFH)

Abstract

This study aims to determine the significance of the indoor lighting effect on work productivity. The outcome of this research is expected to become a reference in improving the indoor lighting quality for the temporary workspace at home. Space utilisation for work at home increases in line with the practice of Large-Scale Social Restrictions (PSBB) and Work from Home (WFH). It forces some of the space function changes in the worker’s house. Work activities need to be supported by Indoor Health and Comfort (IHC), one of which is the suitability of light intensity and light temperature to the room functions. By applying a mixed-method approach, the research began with quantitative research, correlating the result analysed by the Pearson method. The research continued by qualitative research, study case approach. The collected data is analysed by the Tau Kendall method. The result of this research indicates that there is a significant positive correlation but not significant as indicated by the Pearson rvalue of 0.372 between the respondent’s thoughts about indoor lighting to their work duration.
