En jämförelse mellan flex-kontor och cellkontor utifrån arbetstrivsel

Sammanfattning: The purpose of the study was to access the individual's experience of job satisfaction in a cellular office compared to a flex-office. The purpose was answered on the basis of the question: how does the experience of job satisfaction look like in work in a cellular office compared to a flex-office? The study is qualitative and uses semi-structured deep interview as method. An abductive approach was chosen to partly have a stable foundation from previous research but also offer opportunities for new findings. The sample consists of people working in an office that has undergone the change from cellular office to flex-office. The interviews have been transcribed in orthographic style and the material has subsequently been coded. After that, the theory-driven material has been thematized after previous research and the data-driven material has been thematized after overall patterns according to thematic analysis. The factors that seem to affect the job satisfaction in cellular office and flex-office are the themes that emerged in the material. In line with previous research, these topics are: Communication, Health, The Change process and Perception of leadership. In addition to these, the material also revealed further factors: Concentration, Privacy and Flexibility. The conclusions of the study clearly show that flex-office is not suitable for the way of working in the investigated workplace. Although there are both pros and cons with both office types, it seems that the negative weighs heavy for flex- office compared to cellular office in all reported factors related to job satisfaction.
