Does an outside office place enhances job satisfaction and the general state of health?

Hi Stefan,

due to loads of research on job satisfaction and its correlates, it seems safe to say that "outside placement" cannot be the strongest predictor of health and/or performance. Additionally it is important to have a closer look at work design features (autonomy/completeness etc.) as well as psychological safety climate, leadership style and (in case of team work) motivational variables that contribute to success in virtual/distance contexts. Furthermore it is important to control for permanent accessability and work-to life spillover as well as break management/recreation phases...

There's quite a developed field focusing on the benefits of exposure to nature. Check out the following article and the articles that cite it:
