Abstract :

The concept of a Sustainable Work Environment (SWE) has garnered significant attention in recent times, as organizations strive to achieve higher levels of employee well-being and productivity. This paper aims to investigate the influence of SWE on work management and productivity, focusing on three primary objectives: a) understanding the factors contributing to a challenging SWE, b) identifying gaps in existing work environments that hinder performance, and c) comprehending employee perceptions of SWE and its impact on work management practices.

To accomplish the research objectives, a mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. Firstly, an extensive review of the relevant literature was conducted, exploring the diverse factors influencing the creation of a challenging SWE (Objective a). This investigation revealed critical aspects such as work-life balance, organizational culture, leadership support, employee involvement, and physical workspace conditions as key determinants of SWE.

Subsequently, surveys will be employed to identify specific gaps in the current work environments that impede employee performance (Objective b). The research will highlight the crucial hindrances like inadequate resources, communication barriers, unclear job roles, and lack of employee recognition.

The study will also delve into understanding the employee perception of SWE and its effect on work management practices (Objective c). Through employee surveys and feedback, the research will explore more on how employees’ view their work environment impacting their motivation, job satisfaction, and overall work performance.

The outcomes of this research may have significant implications for organizations aiming to create a more sustainable and productive work environment. By addressing the identified factors contributing to a challenging SWE and recognizing existing gaps in work management, organizations can proactively design targeted interventions to foster a more supportive and conducive workplace. Cultivating a positive SWE and understanding employee perceptions will lead to greater job satisfaction, reduced turnover rates, and heightened productivity, ultimately driving organizational success.
