Vnímání open space kanceláří zaměstnanci

This Master´s thesis deals with the impact of an open-space working environment on employees in Company ABC. The main objective is to analyze the effects of this office layout on job satisfaction, overall work performance, and the ability to achieve deep concentration, also known as flow. A mixed-methods research design was used, combining a quantitative questionnaire survey with subsequent qualitative semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the coding method in the MAXQDA software, where they were divided into five main thematic categories: the advantages of open-space, disadvantages, physical elements, performance determinants, and coping strategies. Although this layout facilitates operational communication and strengthens social ties, the high level of acoustic noise and the lack of visual privacy lead to disrupted concentration and a decline in individual performance. The conclusion of the thesis provides a discussion comparing the findings with existing academic literature, followed by the formulation of practical recommendations for eliminating disruptive factors.
