Personal decorations increase labor productivity
The health and productivity of people will increase significantly if we are decorated with a personal liking.
Professor Fred Gage, a geneticist at the Salk Research Institute in the United States, conducted a series of studies to compare the levels of mouse brain activity when they were locked in an empty cage and in a decorated barn, Telegraph believe.
'For a few months we found the brain volume of mice living in decorated cages increased by 15%. In addition, their brains have a lot of blood vessels and we see many new neurons are born , 'Gage said.
According to Gage, if we extrapolate research results with people, we can say that workers should not leave the work space in a very empty situation.
Craig Knight, a psychology doctor at the University of Exeter, said that human health and productivity increase if we work in an environment that is individually decorated.
In the experiments that Knight and his colleagues performed, workers worked more efficiently in offices with lots of pictures, pictures and trees. When workers are allowed to decorate their offices according to personal preferences, their health increases by 32%, while labor productivity increases by 15%.
'That's because workers feel more comfortable, more focused on the space they create,' Knight said.
Open office - an office model without walls or walls between parts of the company - reduces the health and productivity of workers.
Born in the 50s of the last century, open offices quickly became popular throughout the world.
In a program on British television channel 4, scientists conducted tests for an architectural critic. They asked him to wear a electrode-mounted hat capable of measuring brain waves and work in an open office. The results showed that the level of criticism increased when he worked in a small office.
Dr. Jack Lewis, one of the neuroscientists involved in the experiment, said: 'Open office is designed so that workers can move and interact comfortably with colleagues. It is thought that the open office stimulates creative thinking and helps workers solve problems better. '
But according to Lewis, the reality is not so.
'If someone's phone rings while you're working, it will ruin your concentration. Even if you don't notice the bell, your brain still reacts to that sound , 'Lewis explained.
