Purpose
This paper aims to focus on activity-based workplaces, which offer a diversity of typologies and configurations which, instead of being attributed to users, are shared according to the needs of their activities. Indeed, this paper questions the way these activity-based workplaces configure the ways in which individuals and collectives carry out their activity.
Design/methodology/approach
To do so, this paper established a two-phase methodology. Three days of observation amid three different units evolving in activity-based workplaces have helped us to identify the uses that emerged from these spatial typologies. Then, a set of two interviews with eight participants have been conducted based on the four dimensions of the situated acceptance model (Bobillier Chaumon, 2013) and on picture elicitation.
Findings
The results allow us to understand how activity-based workspaces can be considered as artefacts for the activity that needs to be appropriated to allow the worker to realise his activity.
Research limitations/implications
The results provide an overview of the social and psychological consequences of activity-based workspaces on workers, their work collective and their activity. Thus, the conclusions can be mobilised in activity-based real estate projects, for example, during the design stage.
Originality/value
This research conducted with a situated approach based upon the study of the development of the activity proposes a change from the usual managerial approach about these activity-based workplaces, which prescribe an ideal way of working within the workplace.

在整个验收过程中考虑基于活动的工作环境
目的
本文旨在关注基于活动的工作场所,该工作场所提供了不同的类型和配置,这些类型和配置不是归因于用户,而是根据其活动的需求进行共享。确实,本文对这些基于活动的工作场所配置个人和集体开展活动的方式的方式提出了质疑。
设计/方法/方法
为此,本文建立了一个两阶段方法。在基于活动的工作场所演变成三个不同单位的过程中,为期三天的观察帮助我们确定了这些空间类型所产生的用途。然后,根据现场接受模型的四个维度(Bobillier Chaumon,2013)和图片启发,进行了两次访谈,共八名参与者。
发现
结果使我们能够理解基于活动的工作空间如何被视为活动的人工制品,需要对其进行适当修改才能使工人实现其活动。
研究局限/意义
结果提供了基于活动的工作空间对工人,其工作集体及其活动的社会和心理影响的概述。因此,可以在基于活动的房地产项目中(例如在设计阶段)动员结论。
创意/价值
这项基于活动发展研究的基于情境的方法的研究提出了对这些基于活动的工作场所的常规管理方法的改变,后者规定了在工作场所内工作的理想方式。
