Perceived Fit and User Behavior in Activity-Based Work Environments

While activity-based working is gaining popularity worldwide, research shows that workers frequently experience a misfit between the task at hand and their work setting. In current study, sampling data were used to examine how perceived fit in environments related user behavior (i.e., use of settings setting-switching). We found workers’ was higher when they closed rather than open for individual high-concentration work. Furthermore, more frequent setting-switching fit. Unexpectedly, however, this relation observed only among low activity-switching. These findings indicate may indeed be relevant creating environments. To optimize fit, it seems particularly important facilitate stimulate
