Abstract

Productivity used to be the eventual objective for previously age groups of office employees whose frame of mind around work was to bring the “work only” description for themselves into the office. The whole, individual was not actually careful in space design in the past; instead, the center of attention was on purposeful obligations that supports the work character: assignments, knowledge, and procedure. At present there is an up-and-coming chance to use workplace design to endorse a holistic state of wellbeing and get job satisfaction for people at work. The goal of job satisfaction and well-being for employees, includes all other outcomes. It is not a temporary emotion, like “cheerfulness”- it is a continuing state that can lead to creative, balanced, engaged and physically and mentally healthy employees. The budding cohort workforce famously combine work and personal life, bringing the more holistic version of themselves into the office. The need of belonging and connecting is very essential to these younger, highly mutual workers. As organizations embrace worker engagement, there is increasing understanding that basically looking at productivity is too narrow. We need a wider conceptualization of populace at job.The aim of this study was ascertaining the impact on pattern of wellbeing and job satisfaction of the employees as affected by space type of office, It was contended that the variation in office spaces, of the employee would lay its impact on wellbeing and job satisfaction.

Results revealed that the effect of office space was significant. Cell office increased the magnitude of the wellbeing and job satisfaction. Findings are interpreted in the empirical evidence.
