Summary
This study investigates the role of artificial lighting—specifically illuminance levels and correlated colour temperature (CCT)—in achieving visual comfort and improving employee performance in Malaysian shop offices. Practical implications suggest that selecting appropriate CCT and illuminance values is essential for reducing eyestrain, supporting circadian health, and enhancing productivity where natural light cannot be controlled.
Categories
Workplace Performance: Examines how illuminance levels and correlated colour temperature (CCT) of artificial lighting affect employee performance and job satisfaction in office environments.
Eye Health & Vision: Addresses visual comfort factors including eyestrain and eye fatigue caused by poor artificial lighting in shop offices.
Mood & Mental Wellness: Discusses how poor visual comfort can affect occupants' moods, well-being, and psychological state through impacts on circadian rhythms.
