Description
Summary:Office work is visually demanding and has always required good environment for maximum comfort and productivity. Work output of office workers depends on temperature, humidity and illumination. In an office when all environmental parameters are comfortably provided to office workers, these automatically increase the work output of office workers. Present investigation is undertaken with an objective to correlate independent variables with work output of office workers and to measure perception of office workers about work output. Present investigation is undertaken in Parbhani city of Maharashtra state during the year 2008-2009. Looking into the advantages of questionnaire and interview schedule, both methods were implemented for the collection of data. It can be concluded that area of workplace at center of room is significantly correlated with satisfaction towards work output in a day (r = 0.19*), artificial light (r = 0.22*) and provision of the fan (r = 0.22*) while other aspects are found to be non-significant. The work output as agreed by higher percentage of respondents is affected by illumination, workstation, ventilation and provision of coolers.
