Abstract
Physical settings in offices have largely been ignored by managers and scholars. Physical settings can influence behavior in numerous ways. This paper pulls together relevant research and writing and examines it in terms of the physical structure, physical stimuli, and symbolic artifacts that comprise office settings. The implications of this work for both research and practice are considered.
