    "Over the past few years, organizations have opened their electronic doors to partners, suppliers, and customers. At the same time, an influx of young, tech-savvy workers is having a tremendous impact on companies and their IT organizations. They enter the workforce with tremendous energy and new ideas, but lso with their own set of preferred tools and applications-from obile devices and laptops to social networking tools."

  • ...what we know from neuroscience, from looking at the brain scans of people that are always rushing around, who never taste their food, who are always going from one task to another without actually realizing what they're doing, is that the emotional part of the brain that drives people is on sort of high alert all the time... When people think that 'I'm rushing around to get things done,' it's almost like, biologically, they're rushing around just as if they were, you know, escaping from a predator. That's the part of the brain that's active. But nobody can run fast enough to escape their own worries.

Home Sweet Office: Comfort in the Workplace - Research - Herman Miller - 0 views

  • Jacqueline Vischer, professor, department of environmental design, University of Montreal, has created a model that ranks comfort into an ascending continuum of physical, functional, and psychological comfort, which roughly parallels the Kolcaba model of relief, ease, and renewal.
  • Various aspects of physical comfort, such as temperature, lighting, acoustics, and ergonomics, have been researched extensively over the years, so standards for those areas affecting health and safety are fairly well defined.
  • “There is no one temperature and humidity level at which everyone is comfortable.” *10
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Clearly, many workers would be more comfortable if they had some control over their immediate environment—if they could adjust the heat or turn on a task light, for example. But “very few buildings or workstations enable occupants to control lighting, temperature, ventilation rates, or noise conditions.
  • functional comfort, wherein the work environment becomes a tool that enables and supports individual work and collaborative teams. “There are fewer standards and practices to ensure functional comfort than there are for physical comfort,”
  • In Herman Miller’s survey of 500 workers, four out of five attributes that were consistent predictors of a “high comfort” workstation related directly to functional comfort: The capability to support space for two or more people to meet The capability to control interaction with those around me The option to place the computer in the most suitable location Having a place to store my personal items
  • While physical and functional comfort are linked to productivity, psychological comfort relates to uniquely human needs, such as the ability to control elements of one’s job, to personalize one’s space, to set boundaries, and to connect with nature or beauty. While psychological comfort is difficult to quantify, it addresses some intensely human drives.
  • Control, for example, is related to higher levels of job satisfaction and psychological comfort.
  • In the office, territoriality operates in at least two ways: in the attempt to control visual, auditory, or physical interruptions and in the nearly universal urge to personalize one’s space.
  • Interruption is perceived as an invasion of personal space, and the inability to control it produces frustration and territorial behavior, which can range from complaining about confidentiality to erecting blockades.
  • Territoriality also concerns the human need for self-expression.
  • “People who are informed about workspace-related decisions, and who participate in decisions about their own space, are more likely to feel territorial about their workspace and to have feelings of belonging and ownership.” *22
  • the effect of beauty—the aesthetic element of a work environment—may be the most unquantifiable contributor to psychological comfort in the workplace.
  • The beneficial effect of natural light on health is so compelling that European Union directives on workplace health and safety state that “workplaces must as far as possible receive sufficient natural light...”
  • A growing body of research shows that building environments that connect people to nature are more supportive of human emotional well- being and cognitive performance than environments lacking these features,” writes Heerwagen.

    When we use the Web today we treat the most fundamental scenarios as separate activities. Search takes us from many things to one, browsing moves us from one thing to another, and recommendations expose affinities that enable us to explore related topics. Can we do better by combining these scenarios into a more unified experience?

Social Media

shared by anonymous on 16 Jul 10 - No Cached
  • In the context of a social network, it is not a stretch to conceive of virtual gifts as important objects, especially as their availability can be strictly limited. Just think about the fervor consumers accord collectibles of all kinds, from baseball cards to dolls to coins. If virtual items prove similarly desirable, they are likely to be a big deal for consumers and marketers, as well as a great tool to create useful word-of-mouth media.
  • A commitment to being useful in social-media activities means a commitment to creating only high-quality interactions.
