Abstract
Due to changes in society, most people are working in administrative and office sectors. This issue makes the importance of designing office spaces obvious more than ever. Studies show that the design of desirable and suitable administrative environments increases employee satisfaction and motivation and has a significant impact on people's productivity and efficiency. In this way, it is essential to conduct studies to explain the preferences of administrative space users to increase the environmental quality. On the other hand, concepts, such as "environmental quality" and "user preferences" are dependent on the social and cultural conditions of each society, and it is worth conducting more studies in this regard in Iran and explaining and formulating these topics for Iranian users.
Studies in the field of user preferences are usually conducted by questioning and collecting data, quantitatively from the target groups. In this study, data were collected by reviewing previous studies and extracting the main factors, as well as design of a questionnaire during the research. The target group in the designed questionnaire is the employees of office spaces in Iran and the research method is descriptive-analytical.
The research results showed that different environmental qualities in office space have different and meaningful values from the point of view of the employees of these environments, and they can be ranked in order of importance. According to the findings of the quantitative part of the research, the factors of "presence of natural light", "having peace and environmental security in the layout and interior space", "cleanliness and orderliness of the work environment", "the presence of greenery, trees and plants in the work environment" and "the beauty of the work environment" according to Iranian users of office environments have the most importance and priority, respectively. In contrast, the factors of "possibility to see and observe colleagues during work", "diversity in interior spaces and furniture" and "possibility to change furniture and workspace according to personal taste" from the perspective of Iranian users have the least importance and priority, respectively.
