Description
Summary:An office is a place where office task is carried out. An important building component that provides a view to the outside is the window. This paper aims to investigate the effect of office and view factors on occupants’ satisfaction. The research uses a cross-sectional survey method, data was collected from five offices in Kogi State in Nigeria with a total of 267 respondents. The purposive sampling method was used because it was specifically for occupants of shared-room offices and open-plan offices. The analysis was performed using SPSS Version 23 and AMOS Version 22 for modelling. Seven salient factors were identified to be interrelated in the relationship model. The results revealed a valid model and the effect of each construct on occupants’ satisfaction was moderate. The overall squared multiple correlation value is moderate. The study extends the existing knowledge of the relationship between office and window view factors on occupants’ satisfaction. Also, it provides suggestions for building stakeholders such as Architects, Builders, Interior Designers, and Facility Managers that can be applied to improve the satisfaction level of office space users, thereby creating a sustainable office environment.
