Abstract

The main objective of this research is to study the effect of different office layout on employees' performance. This research involved the 2 specific objectives which are to study the effects of traditional office layout and cubicle office layout on employee's performance. This study has been done through survey by using interview questions. Six participants from Faculty Social Sciences (FSS), Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), and Faculty of Cognitive Sciences and Human Development (FCSHD) were selected using purposive sampling.

The finding of this research shows that there are positive effects of different office layout on employees' performance.
