homes and offices that are built without regard to productivity seldom work effectively. Productivity, in addition to the human performance and attitude, influenced by the environment within the four walls.
Studies have shown that people who live or work in a space not intended for human productivity generally does not cooperate, as well as him. Not surprisingly, small changes in labor or the environment have a major impact on productivity, economic and social.
According to Austrian researchers, architects and engineers who specialize in living and working environment dynamics, workplace and home or office space can be designed and arranged in such a way as to support collaboration both verbally and visually. (A. Fuchs, H. and Hinneberg, 2007) Among their findings was that one May seem counter-intuitive in today's hyper-linked e-mail office environment.
Intra-Office Cross-desk electronic correspondence system (in other words, e-mail, Blackberry, instant messaging) have proven ineffective when cooperation is needed. Contributors to sit next to each other in their cubicles, separated physically weak wall partition. They were separated on a human level, as well, such as e-mail notes to each other instead of speaking. Can this approach really expect to increase the efficiency of cooperation?
We have always found in observational research projects to bad decisions, conflicts and mistakes happen. It is a fact of life, both at work and at home. When the relationship between people with these issues are strong, errors and mistakes are easier to forgive when the relationship is already conflict-prong.
in the electronics, e-mail messages can not simply improve the relationship, but they actually tend to jump out of them when a human context removed. confusion that comes with lack of tone of voice, facial gestures or body language has a huge impact. How many times have misinterpreted the e-mail or instant messaging, and is offended or otherwise disturbed sarcastic or humorous comment?
Studies have shown that employees who sit in large rooms, without any obstacles trying to improve their productivity and quality of their cooperation. Sitting next to each other in an open environment that supports and promotes visual and acoustic interaction, people come back the human element of their relationships. That can only help to improve your results.
While these studies support the improvements in productivity and collaboration at work, home living space can also be designed to foster a better relationship. well-appointed home tend to bring family members together. On the other hand, poorly designed residential properties tend to separate family members into the culture of class differentiation "parent" and "child ."
For example, an outdoor living room that includes an area of homework, prepare meals and fun activities made more egalitarian structure of the family relationships. Everyone is equal and the same floor level instead of the parents and children on the floor of miles away in the basement family room or sequestered in their rooms.
on the basis of their research, the Austrian researchers suggested custom design a home or office structures that bring out the best in the cooperation set. This helps to address all cultural and social aspects that are important to improve cooperation. Among their considerations are sources of energy, rest, relaxation areas and creative spaces. It is also critical to the areas in which productivity and collaboration are the goal, as well as areas where privacy must prevail and be respected.
When human needs are met to their fullest satisfaction, you will find the best foundation for a happy and balanced life at home and at work.
