Activity-based workplaces (ABWs) are becoming popular in Western countries and were implemented at four office sites of a large Swedish government agency. A fifth office was used as a control group. The study aim was to examine the effects of relocation to ABW on perceived productivity among employees and to determine if perceived change-oriented leadership behavior prior to relocation moderates potential effects. Data were collected three months prior to relocation, and three and 12 months after. 407 respondents were included in linear mixed regression models. Perceived productivity decreased significantly after relocation compared to the control group and these effects persisted 12 months after the relocation. However, the decrease in perceived productivity was significantly smaller among employees perceiving high change-oriented leadership before relocation. Our results point out the importance of a change-oriented leadership behavior during the implementation to avoid productivity loss among employees when implementing ABWs.
基于活动的工作场所（ABW）在西方国家正变得越来越流行，并在瑞典一个大型政府机构的四个办公地点得到了应用。第五个办公室用作对照组。该研究的目的是检验迁至ABW工作场所对员工感知生产力的影响，并确定搬迁前感知到的变革导向型领导行为是否会调节潜在影响。在搬迁前三个月、搬迁后三个月和十二个月收集了数据。407名受访者被纳入线性混合回归模型。与对照组相比，搬迁后员工感知生产力显著下降，且这些影响在搬迁后12个月仍然存在。然而，在搬迁前感知到高变革导向型领导的员工中，感知生产力的下降显著较小。我们的结果指出了在实施过程中变革导向型领导行为的重要性，以避免在实施ABW工作场所时员工生产力的损失。
