Abstract

Identification of the wearying factors affecting employees’ performance in the workplace seems quite vital for achieving the best outcomes by employing the lowest resources, with the purpose of performing helpful measures in all organizations. The physical space assigned to employees for performing their duties is the second financial load factor of the organization, after human resources, and can increase or decrease 20% of employees’ performance. This study aims at investigating the effect of physical features of the workplace on the performance of employees in the typical control building of cyclic power plants (human-machine interface) for environmental assessment of the workspace. Using a conformed questionnaire, the researchers addressed employees’ perception of the workspace to determine their satisfaction with physical characteristics and self-assessment of their performance in relation to these factors in the assessment. The results indicated that ignoring the comforting characteristics of the workspace in industrial constructions has reduced satisfaction. In some cases, it has caused serious damage to their health. Moreover, satisfaction of each attribute can have a direct effect on the performance of the individual in relation to it. Regarding the fact that performance is affected by satisfaction from features, the characteristics are prioritized for corrective measures.
