Zusammenfassung
The use and perception of organizational space post-Covid-19 has changed extensively. Some organizations implemented hybrid working, some have fully switched to remote work, and in some cases, organizations prefer that their employees are back to work in the office. To allow for more evidence-based insights into knowledge workers’ modern workspaces, this thesis advances our understanding of the holistic impact of the work location, including cellular versus activity-based flexible office (A-FO) concepts and remote work. By using data from objective human resource (HR) records, an online experiment, and widely collected secondary data, the thesis seeks to understand how spatial concepts and boundary conditions like employee gender, tenure, childcare responsibilities, and organizational settings affect employee absenteeism, presenteeism, social relationships, and productivity. Study 1 tracks 2,017 white-collar workers over eight years to examine the impact of transitioning from cellular offices to A-FOs on absenteeism, finding no overall difference but higher absenteeism among long-term employees. Study 2 examined the level of absenteeism and presenteeism in an office versus remote work environment, considering differences between employees with and without childcare responsibilities. Using a field study (514 employees) and an online experiment (660 employees), the results reveal that absenteeism tends to be lower and presenteeism tends to be higher in remote work settings compared to office settings and that the effects of parenthood on presenteeism seem stronger than on absenteeism. Study 3 is a Bayesian meta-analysis of 26 studies (7,454 individuals) to assess the effects of A-FOs on well-being, social relationships, and performance, finding high probabilities of increases in physical activity, coworker contact, and productivity and a slight degradation in supervisor relationships. Overall, the findings highlight that organizations should pay attention to behavioral outcomes as well as employee subgroups’ needs and the circumstances in which workspace transitions happen. The unique insights can inform practitioners on how to craft well-being promoting and productive workspaces.
