- Background of the Study
The environment is man’s immediate surrounding which he manipulates for his existences; wrongly manipulation introduces hazards that make this environment unsafe and impede the productivity rate of the workers. Therefore, the workplace entails and environment in which this workers performs his work (Chapins 1995) while an effective workplace is an environment where results can be achieved as expected by management (Mike, 2010, Shikder 2002) physical environment affects how employees in an organization interact, perform tasks, and are led, physical environment as an aspect of this work environment have directly affected the human sense and subtly changed interpersonal interactions and thus productivity. This is so because the characteristics of a room or a place of meeting for a group have consequences regarding productivity and satisfaction level. The workplace environment is the most critical factor in keeping an employee satisfied in today’s business world today’s workplace is different, diverse and constantly changing, the typical employer employee relationship of old has been turned upside down. Workers are living in a growing economy and have almost limitless job opportunities. This combination of factors has created an environment where the business needs its employees more than the employees need the business (Smith, 2011).

This type of work environment supports new) .
