Employee productivity is influenced by several factors which may be internal or external to the organization. These factors can have either a positive or negative effect on employee performance depending on the nature of the organization and its working conditions. In a typical workplace, both physical and behavioural factors play an important role in shaping employees’ abilities, attitudes, and productivity. Therefore, a healthy work environment is essential for improving employee engagement, performance, and overall organizational effectiveness. The workplace environment has become a critical factor in determining employee productivity, especially in today’s highly competitive business environment. Organizations are increasingly recognizing that employees are valuable assets whose performance directly affects organizational sustainability. Since employees spend a significant portion of their time at work, the conditions of the workplace can influence their mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. A positive work environment improves concentration, motivation, and behaviour, which ultimately enhances productivity. Conversely, an unfavourable work environment may create stress, reduce morale, and negatively affect performance. The work environment includes everything surrounding employees while they perform their duties. It consists of both physical and psychological components that influence employees’ work attitudes and productivity levels. Physical workplace factors such as office layout, cleanliness, ventilation, lighting, noise levels, temperature, equipment design, and safety measures significantly affect employee comfort and efficiency. A well-designed and safe workplace promotes better interaction, teamwork, and employee satisfaction, which leads to improved productivity. On the other hand, poor workplace design and unsafe conditions may cause stress, discomfort, and underutilization of employee capabilities. Employee efficiency plays a crucial role in the success and long-term sustainability of any organization. The work environment is an important factor that can significantly influence employee productivity both positively and negatively. Progressive organizations recognize the value of their employees and therefore focus on creating a supportive and healthy work environment, as employees spend a major part of their time performing job-related activities. However, an unfavourable work environment may lead to job stress and reduced performance. The findings indicate a positive relationship between workplace environment and employee commitment. The study concludes that improving workplace conditions can enhance employee commitment and performance. These findings provide useful insights for academic institutions to improve their work environment and support effective employee performance
