Abstract
The article analyses the influence of business premises and workplace design factors on employees’ satisfaction with the workplace, and the influence of satisfaction of employees on the overall health of employees. The purpose of the research is, firstly, to assess the influence of business premises, and, secondly, to facilitate improvement of employee health, through application of base parameters, and subsequent adequate changes to the workplace and work processes. The quantitative research was carried out in Slovenia in 2012 among 1,038 employees from the service sector. The results were statistically analysed using factor analysis and applied structural equation modelling. The results show that business premises factors of the workplace have an impact on the satisfaction of employees, and consequently on their health. With the aid of factor analysis and structural equation modelling, significant links with the following factors were established: orthopaedic problems, past health problems, cardiovascular problems, and state of health. The research covers a need that is becoming more important, as the focus on health and well-being issues is increasing. Implementing aspects of better workplace conditions introduces a better base of value for employees and employers.
