Abstract
This study examines the partial mediating effect of employee engagement on the relationship between perceptions of the physical work environment and the three employee outcomes of performance, well-being, and organizational commitment. The theoretical framework of this study was Person – Environment Fit and the Job Demands – Resources Model. A total of 169 office workers from three diverse organizations participated in the study. Data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed perceptions of the physical work environment has a positive effect on employee engagement, employee performance, employee well-being, and organizational commitment, and that employee engagement partially mediates the relationship. Contributions to the current body of knowledge includes an extension of the Person – Environment Fit Theory, an extension of the Job Demands – Resources Model, and the relationship between perceptions of the physical work environment and employee engagement.
