Abstract
There are several factors which affect the productivity of employees in architectural firms. It is observed that office spaces designed without thought process & analysis of space division in a building can severely distress the employees mentally and physically. The data was collected through a questionnaire survey which was carried out to explore the factors that need to be considered in the office design and how they affect the productivity of employees in architectural firms. The questionnaire was developed in such a way that it covered all the important factors which impact the employee’s productivity. The collected data was analyzed using the SPSS software and M.S excel. The research suggests the important design factors that need to be considered for an office design so that the employees can have maximum productivity level in their work surrounding.
