The Influence of Indoor Environmental Quality Factors on Employee Behavioral Health in Office Settings

Office workers typically occupy their workspaces for over 50% of the standard workday, making it crucial to ensure an environment that promotes both physical and psychological well-being. This research aims to analyze the impact of various internal environmental quality factors on employee health and behavioral outcomes within office settings.

The qualitative component of the study focused on specialists in architectural engineering and professional health engineering. In the quantitative component, the study population comprised all administrative employees working within districts 7 and 8 of the Karaj city municipality. Utilizing Cochran's formula, a sample of 244 individuals was selected through simple random sampling, and a questionnaire was subsequently administered to them. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS software, employing Spearman's correlation coefficient, while the final model was analyzed using AMOS software.

The findings indicate a direct correlation between environmental characteristics and employee health, suggesting that the neglect of environmental comfort factors in the workplace adversely affects employee health behaviors.

This study demonstrates the impact of the quality of the working environment on employee health, behavior, prosperity, and well-being. It aims to enhance human resource capabilities and improve performance within office settings.
