Social and organizational factors in office building-associated illness.
The structure and organization of work in offices have changed during the past 15 years as dramatically as the physical environment within the buildings. It is difficult to ascribe increases in the prevalence of health complaints only to changes in the physical environment. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a broader perspective that would consider the role of psychological, social, and organizational factors in office building-associated health complaints.
