Personal Quarterly 1/2021

17 01/21 PERSONALquarterly SUMMARY Research question: How do communication patterns of R&D em- ployees change after their relocation from enclosed to multi-space offices and labs? Methodology: Longitudinal hybrid research design: Quantitative observation data + qualitative interviews and observations Practical implications: The multi-space environment fosters interdis- ciplinary communication, shifts the location of discussions and increases the knowledge of expertise distribution in R&D. These results should be taken into account when offering home office to R&D employees. LITERATURVERZEICHNIS Allen, T. J.
