Task-location optimization in the Hybrid Workspace

Our research shows that the perceived productivity increases when people work at different work locations. Employees tend to optimize the fit between the work location characteristics and the tasks they have to employ. An important implication of our research is that modern workplaces should become more hybrid (multiple work locations), which allows employees to choose between different work locations to fit their tasks. This article also describes the role of employees’
reflection on work locations. We conclude that the more people reflect on the work location, the more they optimize the fit between task and location, the higher the perceived productivity.
