Abstract
The aim of this article is to provide a detailed research design for the measurement of perceived office productivity. This research adopts a positivist methodology and, in alignment with this, all the decision making involved in the research design will be made explicit. The main finding is a validated theoretical framework for the measurement of perceived office productivity; the components are comfort, office layout, interaction and distraction. This study establishes that the area of office productivity research is at a crucial stage. While previous research has largely concentrated on the impact of the physical environment on office occupiers’ perceived productivity, this research broadens the debate to include components relating to the behavioural environment.
