This is the updated and revised translation of the French original
"Psychologie des espaces de travail", published in 1989. The goal
of this book is to study the workplace from a psychosocial
perspective. Workspace is a unique type of social environment. It
is often situated on the outskirts of urban areas and relegated to
property of little real estate value. It rarely gets the attention
that the importance of its function in the social structure would
merit. It does after all, represent a territory with its own style
of occupation and its own organizational, material, and symbolic
characteristics. This work is organized around the major concepts
of space psychology and puts forward analysis models furnished by
research on workspace. The book will familiarize the general
public, students as well as professionals with a new way of
comprehending professional organization and experiences. It does
not only presents American and European research, but is also based
on field studies by the author. 'Fischer's timely book brings out,
by argument and by case-history, the importance of the subtle
processes of using space and of appropriating it. Neither the
designer not the manager can now claim ignorance of the high stakes
involved; the world of business has to recognize that
communications about the workplace can be two-directional, and that
the employees' spatial experience and competence can contribute to
creating successful working conditions, in both the short and the
long terms'.
