The study found that implementing activity-based work environments can negatively affect employee privacy and psychological ownership, but employee attitude towards this work environment may act as a moderating factor.
The increasing popularity of activity-based work environments has led to concerns regarding lower employee privacy and psychological ownership. Using a longitudinal field survey, we attempt to capture how implementing an activity-based work environment impacts perceived privacy and psychological ownership-and potential employee adjustment over time. We further consider employee attitude towards activity-based work as a moderator. Consistent with past results, our findings indicate that implementing activity-based work environments can negatively affect employee privacy and psychological ownership. We do not find support for differences between short-term and long-term effects. However, employee attitude towards activity-based work emerges as a potentially important moderator that may offset the adverse effects of activity-based work environments. Implications of these findings for organizations and directions for future research are discussed.
