Satisfaction with office noise and employees productivity

Dr. Gurkirpal Singh

Abstract :

Noise is considered to be unwanted or undesirable sound. It penetrates the work place, and recreational areas, the home and can create a disturbance at all hours of the day.Review of scientific studies has confirmed that excessive noise in office environments can be a source of disruption, stress and ultimately a decrease in the productivity to office workers.In India the physical aspects of the work environment do not always receive as much attention as the managerial and interpersonal aspects. There is a need to find out relationship of perceived satisfaction with office noise on employees productivity. A total of 250 employees from various offices of Ludhiana were recruited as sample. The age range of the sample was between 25 to 50 years.The questionnaire used was an adapted and modified version of already existing scales of occupants’ satisfaction with indoor environment quality (IEQ) components of other buildings by different researchers. Results indicate   that employees productivity is positivelycorrelated  with  satisfaction with  noise in Indian population. Noise is another important concern in designing an appropriate office that managers must pay attention to increase employees’ productivity.
