Review] Integrated decision-making model to enhance the employee-oriented built environment in urban green buildings

Abstract

Integrating building technology systems into urban green buildings is an emerging building movement in developed countries to create a paradigm of a human-oriented built environment inside the workspaces. This paper thrives on aiming at the initiation of developing an employee-oriented built environment in urban office green buildings using decision-making models. The study identifies the factors affecting employee satisfaction as building-related factors, non-building-related factors, Multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and Structural equation model (SEM) through a comprehensive literature review. Extensive bibliographic research has been driven for 21 years to understand the relationship between decision-making models and employee satisfaction in green office buildings. This paper provides an overall ideology of the impact of green office buildings and the conversion to buildings focusing on employee satisfaction. The study concludes by introducing an integrated MCDA and SEM method to create a lesser complex hybrid decision-making model to create an improved employee-friendly built environment.
