Abstract

People spend majority of their times in the buildings. Despite all part-time, flexible and distant working options offered to employees, in developed industrial societies, the vast majority of people still work in office buildings. The design, construction and maintenance of buildings have been the subject of separate disciplines such as architecture, engineering and facility management. Research on the employee issues such as productivity, job satisfaction, health and well-being, is also mostly handled in the field of organizational behavior. However, while have been an extensive research in United States, Canada and Europe for many years that bring together these disciplines, are not yet common in Turkey. The purpose of this study is to create a conceptual framework and inform the occupants of workplaces how work environments effects their health, well-being, and productivity based on the current literature. Study emphasizes the importance of environmental factors affecting work environment in personal and working lives. It states that good building designs can serve this need and underlines if investors make the necessary investments, they will be able to compensate the return on their investments.

Özet

İnsanlar günlerinin büyük bir bölümünü binalarda geçirmektedirler. Gelişmiş endüstriyel toplumlarda tüm yarı zamanlı, esnek zamanlı, uzaktan çalışma seçeneklerine rağmen insanların hala büyük bir çoğunluğu ofis binalarında çalışmaktadırlar. Binaların tasarımı, inşası, bakımı, mimarlık, inşaat mühendisliği, tesis yönetimi gibi ayrı ayrı disiplinlerin çalışma alanı olmuştur. Çalışanların üretkenliği iş memnuniyeti, sağlık ve refahı ile ilgili araştırmalarda çoğunlukla örgütsel davranış disiplini içerisinde ele alınmaktadır. Ancak kuzey Amerika’da ve Avrupa’da uzun yıllardır yoğunlukla incelenen ve sözü edilen disiplinleri bir araya getiren çalışmalara Türkiye’de henüz rastlanmamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı kavramsal bir çerçeve içerisinde, fiziksel çalışma ortamlarının kalitesinin kullanıcılarının refahı, sağlığı ve üretkenliği üzerindeki etkilerini mevcut literatüre dayanarak bilgilendirmektir. Çalışma ortamlarını etkileyen çevresel faktörlerin çalışanların kişisel ve çalışma hayatlarındaki önemini vurgulanarak, bina tasarımlarının bu ihtiyaca hizmet etmesi, yatırımcıların gerekli yatırımları yaptıkları takdirde bu yatırımların karşılıklarını alabilecekleri vurgulanmaktadır.
