摘要：The purpose of this paper is to present an empirical analysis of the managerial perspective and benefits of workplace environment. A primary rationale for workplace environment is the impact on employee performance and satisfaction. A questionnaire was employed to collect data from 600 employees working in public and private sector. Simple and hierarchical regression analysis was done to determine the relationships. The results of this paper elaborate the advantage of using gap approach for evaluating the workplace environment. The findings also support the hypothesized relationships between locus of control and workplace environment. Finally, the current study also confirms the moderator role of workplace environment between job length and job satisfaction. With respect to the avenue of future research, empirical studies from other countries are required to comprehend the dynamic attributes of workplace environment with relation to employee satisfaction. The results suggest the usage of gap approach in developing more favourable workplace environment instead of only evaluating it. The workplace also plays an important role in the relation of locus of control with employee performance and job length with employee satisfaction. The concept presented in this paper tries to move towards forward stage that is prescription for the modification of workplace environment.
