“…Some studies have identified the following psychosocial factors that contribute to a good working environment such as working hours, job safety, job security, the relationship among employees, esteem needs of employees, and the influence of top management on the employees (Raziq & Maulabakhsh, 2015), bureaucratic, humanistic and entrepreneurial work environment (Abun, et.al, 2021) and other related factors that have been identified by different studies above. Those recent studies that we have identified are evidence that the old theory of Frederick Taylor that salary, production technique, and physical work environment are not the only predictor of productivity or job performance as a whole (Walden, 2004). Solving work performance is not about money or pay but the management needs to have a comprehensive view and approach to different factors that contribute to a good work environment.…”

“…Then this result led to a broader investigation into workplace relationships. In the 1950s and 1960s, the concept of work environment extended to include communications and conflict within the workplace, and then the concern was to improve cooperation among organizational members (Walden, 2004). Based on this historical development, the definition of work environment varies from one researcher to another researcher.…”

“…Every time the management introduced something, then they measure the effect if it increases productivity or not. Among other things, Taylor assumed that salary, production techniques, and work environment were important factors to increase workers' productivity, though in reality it was caused by the assembly line in the factory (Walden, 2004). This was the time, the management was busy devising incentives, production techniques, and physical environment set-ups, standardized jobs, to improve efficiency and increase productivity, while management neglects social processes in decision making, the well-being of employees, and job satisfaction of employees (Walden, 2004).…”
