| Abstract: | The effects of a change in an office environment from a traditional to an open-plan design were examined for government employees occupying three types of organizational positions. Differential effects across positions for perceived personal privacy, amount of work-related communication, job characteristics, and job satisfaction supported a hypothesis based on a symbolic meaning approach to explaining employees' reactions to changes in their physical work environment. Overall, the change affected professionals least and clerical and managerial staff most. |
