Apart from these there are objective needs of

an organization which are also drivers of spatial

performance like the image of the organization
which is reflected through the organizational values
by various mediums in space.

Hence, the spatial performance is governed by

two primary aspects that impacts working of an
organization -The physical space and the aspects
that affect the occupants working in that space.

Physical space provides a framework and governs

all the activities of the employees from how they
move in a space to controlling the way they
communicate with each other. All of thi is
reflected through factors of spatial planning. It
represents organizational values.

While various aspects that affect the human

conditions and reflect on their work performance
are constituted in the concepts of human factors
which consisu of Proxemics, Ergonomics.
While human interactions are based on control,
communication and orientation. These provide
the theore lhasis on which human interactions
as well as their physical conditions and behaviour
are affected through tangible aspects. They are
reflected through spatial qua Ities in a space and
they facilitate individuals to perform better which
influences office productivity.

Therefore, to conclude, since office is about a

physical space in whi h work is fostered through
human interactions, Its spatial performance can
be evaluated through two major subjects and
their factors:

(i) Spatial Planning

(ii) Concepts of human factors and interaction in

a built environment.
