Workplace design, Wellbeing, Productivity, Gen ZAbstract
Office workers spend a substantial proportion of their time within workplace environments, underscoring the importance of workplace design in shaping employee outcomes. This study examines the extent to which workplace design features influence the wellbeing and productivity of Generation Z employees. Data were collected through an online questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics, reliability and validity assessments, multiple linear regression, and one-way ANOVA in SPSS. The results identify biophilic design as the most significant predictor of workplace wellbeing and productivity. Although Generation Z is frequently assumed to demonstrate stronger workplace design preferences, no statistical evidence was found to support this assumption. The findings suggest that organisations should adopt employee-centred workplace strategies and prioritise the integration of natural elements to optimise employee wellbeing, productivity, and workplace performance.
