To Study Gen Z's Perception of Eco-Friendly Office Designs and Workplace Motivation in Ahmedabad and Hyderabad
Abstract
With an emphasis on the moderating effect of age, this study examines how eco-friendly workplace designs affect worker motivation, output, and organisational commitment. The study investigates how employees see several sustainable workplace characteristics, such as natural lighting, green areas, energy-efficient systems, and the usage of eco-materials, using survey data gathered from 175 participants in two large cities. The results show a strong positive correlation between eco-friendly workplace features and improved worker motivation, environmental responsibility, concentration, and job satisfaction. Notably, age was found to be a key determinant of these attitudes, with younger workers responding more favourably to a focus on sustainability. The survey instrument's internal consistency was validated by reliability analysis, demonstrating strong data quality. These findings highlight how crucial it is to include sustainable design principles in workplace settings in order to promote an engaged and effective staff in addition to the environmental advantages. The study adds to the increasing amount of research that shows a connection between workplace well-being and environmental sustainability, arguing that eco-friendly design should be viewed as a strategic organisational advantage. The practical consequences stress integrating a wide range of eco-friendlyelements and customising sustainable activities to different staff populations. The study ends with suggestions for further investigation into objective performance metrics, longitudinal impacts, and additional demographic factors. In order to build workplaces that are healthier, greener, and more inspiring, policymakers, facilities managers, and organisational leaders may use the practical insights this study offers
