Abstract
This study analyzed the effect of
territoriality on situated learning
in open-plan offices. A cross-sectional
study was conducted on
112 professionals from IT and
consultancy companies. Results
of hierarchical linear regression
with bootstrapping indicated that
territorial behavior was a significant
predictor of situated learning
in open office environments.
Findings of the study add to the
existing literature on facilitators
of situated learning by identifying
that feelings of control and
belonging that territorial behavior
invokes allow for greater interacti
on thereby increasing
knowledge sharing and promoting
learning that occurs in everyday
activities on the job. The
results of the study also provide
inputs to practitioners, guiding
them in the creation of environments
that support situated learning.
