“…Research in environmental psychology (Fischer, 1978; Vischer and Fischer, 2005) has focussed on the study of workspaces, using space as an indicator of humankind’s relationship to social reality. These approaches consider the social aspect of workplaces and question its link and meaning for the individuals (Ianeva et al , 2017). This relationship evolves according to the activity carried out within this space.…”

“…It is supported by the process of appropriation that allows it to be restructured for each individual user: “this notion makes it possible to understand behavioural requirements in relation to the environment and consequently to evaluate the appropriation of spaces and behaviour” (Ianeva et al , 2017, p. 402). Space is, therefore, appropriated, embodies identity issues, reflects the role and the status of the hierarchy in the organisation and contributes to the comfort or discomfort of a work situation by guaranteeing security, shelter and the possibility of retreating from the sight of others (Ianeva et al , 2017). These studies constitute a step forward into the consideration of the social character of workspaces (Cihuelo, 2016).…”

“…Their users deal with this given framework of action and bring out new logics of action from it. Indeed, “the chains of artefacts that are present in the daily life of employees are not neutral, but imbued with meanings, stories and values” (Ianeva et al , 2017, p. 141). How do individuals construct these values?…”

“…These flexible models are concretised in their spatial form by the relocation or reorganisation of working spaces into activity-based working environments (Ianeva et al , 2017). This type of environment is based on different open-plan platform designs that offer a diversity of typologies and configurations of workplaces which, instead of being attributed to users, are shared according to the needs of their activities.…”

“…Thus, the first part of this paper presents the theoretical framework that allows us to understand the way in which the realisation of the activity defines the situation in which it takes place, and in return, how it is constructed by its spatial framework. Our aim is, therefore, to analyse a given workspace in relation to the situated activity that takes place within it and to consider the ways in which work environments are organised as different “frameworks for individuals to think about their work and the work of others” (Ianeva et al , 2017). After the presentation of the context of our research, we will introduce the methodology we have used to answer our research question.…”

Purpose This paper aims to focus on activity-based workplaces, which offer a diversity of typologies and configurations which, instead of being attributed to users, are shared according to the needs of their activities. Indeed, this paper questions the way these activity-based workplaces configure the ways in which individuals and collectives carry out their activity. Design/methodology/approach To do so, this paper established a two-phase methodology. Three days of observation amid three different units evolving in activity-based workplaces have helped us to identify the uses that emerged from these spatial typologies. Then, a set of two interviews with eight participants have been conducted based on the four dimensions of the situated acceptance model (Bobillier Chaumon, 2013) and on picture elicitation. Findings The results allow us to understand how activity-based workspaces can be considered as artefacts for the activity that needs to be appropriated to allow the worker to realise his activity. Research limitations/implications The results provide an overview of the social and psychological consequences of activity-based workspaces on workers, their work collective and their activity. Thus, the conclusions can be mobilised in activity-based real estate projects, for example, during the design stage. Originality/value This research conducted with a situated approach based upon the study of the development of the activity proposes a change from the usual managerial approach about these activity-based workplaces, which prescribe an ideal way of working within the workplace.
