Abstract

This research in the environmental psychology field, explores the often underestimated impact of the workplace environment on productivity and comfort. Emphasizing the pivotal roles of architectural design and building location, it highlights the need to understand their intertwined dynamics for overall workplace effectiveness. While previous research recognizes the individual significance of these elements, a gap exists in comprehending their combined effects. The study addresses this by presenting a comprehensive framework that assesses the influence of architectural design and building location on workplace productivity, considering the moderating role of employee satisfaction. It contributes theoretical advancements, practical insights for optimizing workplace design, and managerial understanding with actionable recommendations. Additionally, it informs policymakers about creating healthier workspaces, promoting societal well-being, and integrating sustainability practices. The study's novelty lies in its holistic approach, treating architectural design and building location as independent variables, workplace productivity as the dependent variable, and introducing employee satisfaction as a moderating variable. Specific theories include Job Satisfaction Theory and Person-Environment Fit Theory. Using a purposive sample of 150 employees in Jakarta and a mixed-method approach, the study employs Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression, ensuring validity and reliability through rigorous statistical analyses. The study supports the significant relationships between architectural design, building location, and workplace productivity. However, it does not find substantial evidence for the moderating role of employee satisfaction, contrary to expectations. The research aligns with established theories like Environmental Psychology, Job Satisfaction, and Person-Environment Fit, enriching our understanding of workspace dynamics. Keywords: Architectural Design, Building Location, Employee Satisfaction, Workplace Productivity
