Activity-based Flexible Offices (AFOs) are innovations in workspace design that are being increasingly implemented in organisations. While most studies investigate satisfaction and perceived work support in AFOs, employees' workspace preferences are not addressed in the literature. The aims of this study were to (i) identify workspace preferences and non-preferences in AFOs, and (ii) investigate whether employees' workstation choices support their activities and align with their preferences. Two Swedish municipalities participated in the study. Data collection involved 27 semi-structured interviews and annotations on architectural drawings. The results showed that the interviewees preferred workstations that were both desirable and functional, and avoided workstations that were undesirable. This was due to functional, social, emotional and symbolic aspects of the workspaces as well as their physical structure and stimuli. The approach used in this paper can be adopted for improving the design of AFOs, thereby mitigating the stress of finding a suitable workstation.

基于活动的灵活办公室中的工作区首选项和非首选项:两个案例研究。

基于活动的灵活办公室(AFO)是工作空间设计中的创新,正在组织中越来越多地实施。尽管大多数研究调查了AFO中的满意度和可感知的工作支持,但文献中并未涉及员工的工作空间偏好。这项研究的目的是(i)确定AFO中的工作空间偏好和非偏好,以及(ii)调查员工的工作站选择是否支持他们的活动并符合他们的偏好。瑞典的两个城市参加了这项研究。数据收集涉及27次半结构化访谈和关于建筑图纸的注释。结果表明,受访者偏爱既理想又实用的工作站,避免了不理想的工作站。这是由于功能,社交,工作空间的情感和象征意义以及它们的物理结构和刺激。本文中使用的方法可用于改进AFO的设计,从而减轻寻找合适工作站的压力。
