Abstract
In today’s competitive business environment, corporations can no longer afford to waste the potential of their
workforce. There are important factors in the employee’s workplace that influence significantly on their level of
motivation and performance. The main objective of the study is to understand the relationship between the
employees’ performance and their physical work environment. The private sector corporations of Egypt have been
chosen as the population for the study. The study took six corporations in Cairo as a sample. The results of the study
show that office design has a substantial impact on the employees’ performance.
