Abstract

The current study aims to investigate the impact of interior designing & infrastructure of workplace on employees’ performance in a Karachi based firm. The research involves the importance of furniture, lighting, decoration, temperature, color and spatial arrangement as essential attributes of interior designing and infrastructure for improving employee performance. The research involves qualitative research methodology on the basis of which data is collected from approximately 203 respondents of the oil and gas marketing based company in Karachi. The simple and multiple linear regression analysis is performed to gather all the required data and analyzed by means of SPSS analysis. The regression analysis revealed that lighting and spatial arrangements are considerably important when it comes to employee performance and retention while furniture, color, temperature and decoration are less significant. Since the available literature is from developed countries, it can be concluded that in developing countries the concepts of employee’s performance are widely linked with the idea of financial rewards and money, therefore research can be further explored for different internal attributes as well in reference to meeting the individual preferences and choices of the employees
