Abstract
The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between different outdoor and indoor environmental factors and their impact on the self-performance and productivity levels of foreign individuals’ living in Ireland.
This research seeks to delve into how factors such as weather conditions, access to green spaces, air quality, noise levels, indoor lighting, temperature, and living environments influence the ability of foreign residents to effectively perform tasks and maintain productivity at their workplaces and their daily basis.
Indoor environmental factors were also analysed, in terms of employees’ satisfaction with the environment they work at, in other words, office buildings. This will help measure how productive they are in terms of satisfaction with personal workspace.
By focusing on foreign individuals, this study intention is to understand how cultural backgrounds and experiences may interact with environmental factors to shape self-performance and productivity. Through quantitative analysis, the research intends to uncover patterns, correlations, and potential causative relationships between environmental contexts and individual efficacy. The approach to this study was developed through a survey in where participants were asked questions about workplace conditions, housing conditions and a general self-efficacy questionnaire. In this study 70 participants were considered, females and males who belong to the same niche, they are all foreigners who have been living in Ireland for more than six months and who have a formal job.
Ultimately, the goal of this investigation is to provide insights that can inform urban planning, workplace design, and community initiatives aimed at optimizing environmental conditions to enhance the well-being and productivity of foreign residents in Ireland, thereby contributing to their integration and overall quality of life.
