Please note that the study defines any office space shared by more than 6 people as "open plan". Also, although there's a (statistically) significant difference between 1 person offices and "open plan", there is no significant difference between 2 person offices and"open plan".
- rdtsc 9y agoNot a bad metric. After about 4 people or so, it might as well be "open office". That is the chance of each one of those people being distracted by someone from outside the office, or a phone, or two of them talking about something is pretty high. (Worked in a cubicle farm, 4 person office, 3 person office, 2 person, then my own office, now at home in my own office). Top choice is work at home. Then own office. Then 2 person office. Once it gets to 3 person office, I'd pick a cubicle with high sound insulated walls. Open office would be a nightmare for me. I'd get set just from stress of not being able concentrate and get my work done.
