- Abstract
- With businesses looking towards employee satisfaction and productivity, it may be worthwhile to consider how physical environment impacts faculty productivity at a university setting. The present research presents an exploratory study of the impact of office beauty on faculty productivity. Thirty-six faculty members from the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience and the Kenan-Flagler School of Business at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill completed an online survey measuring office space beauty, effort devoted to beautifying office space, time spent in office, and research, teaching, and service productivity. Although results elucidated no clear pattern of results for aggregate measures, some connections between individual office beauty items and productivity emerged. These exploratory results suggest that future research should consider the nuanced nature of beauty in the workplace.
