Actual physical space will often determine how comfortable someone is within the workplace as well as the position of your workspace.
i.e. someone who feels they are sitting in a 'corridor' where people are constantly walking behind them will be more likely to be distracted or uncomfortable in their work than someone who has their own defined territory.Similarly the people who are parked next the the multi function printer will often be less productive or show fatigue due to the level of noise and constant distraction they experience.
The amount of space allocated to an office worker depends on where you work and the type of work required.Desk space analysis can help companies understand the amount of wasted space ; often space saving and ergonomics go hand in hand.
