Abstract
Work environment plays important role in employee’s productivity which translates into overall increase in efficiency and productivity of organization. This research was carried out to study how productivity of employees is affected by various factors such as office layout, workplace environmental factors (light, noise and temperature etc.), thermal comfort and type of thermal control system installed in offices. Data was collected through questionnaire from various IT and telecom sector companies in Islamabad, Pakistan. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used as an empirical tool to analyze the data. Two models were developed. Results showed that productivity of employees in IT sector companies is strongly dependent on type of control system installed and on temperature in the working environment and office layout.
