The physical work environment has a far-reaching effect on employee creativity. However, the research conceptualizing office design typically focuses on specific rather than broad dimensions. In this study, the effectiveness of design for autonomy and interactive office design is investigated, based on Duffy’s office design model. We take an interactive perspective and propose that office environment (design for autonomy and interactive office design) interacts with individual factors (intrinsic motivation and diversity ideology) to influence employees’ level of creativity. We first developed and validated items of office design and diversity ideology, and then tested our hypotheses in the main study. It was found that employees with strong intrinsic motivation and diversity ideology made the optimal use of office design for promoting the level of creativity. Finally, the theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

办公室设计对员工创造性绩效的触发效应——基于达菲概念化的探索性调查

实体工作环境对员工的创造力有着深远的影响。然而，概念化办公室设计的研究通常侧重于具体而非广泛的维度。在这项研究中，基于 Duffy 的办公室设计模型，研究了自主和交互式办公室设计的有效性。我们采取互动的视角，提出办公环境（自主设计和互动办公设计）与个体因素（内在动机和多元化意识形态）相互作用，影响员工的创造力水平。我们首先开发并验证了办公室设计和多元化意识形态的项目，然后在主要研究中测试了我们的假设。研究发现，具有强烈内在动机和多元化意识形态的员工会最优化地利用办公室设计来提升创造力水平。最后，讨论了这些发现的理论和实践意义。
