Open Plan Impact on Employees Performance

Abstract

The shift from traditional office layouts to open-plan workspaces has become a global trend, including in public institutions. However, the effectiveness of this transition in bureaucratic environments remains debatable. This research aims to evaluate the impact of the open plan layout on employee performance at the PPBMN office under the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through observations, questionnaires, and interviews, then analyzed using SPSS version 29 with regression analysis. The results show that the open plan design improves movement efficiency, work comfort, and collaboration, with a statistically significant influence of 15.2% on employee performance. These findings highlight that open workspace models, when supported by adaptive organizational culture, can enhance productivity in government institutions. The research contributes to workspace design theory in the public sector and offers practical implications for policymakers considering workspace renovations aligned with employee well-being and performance.
