) Environmental distractions as a feature in openplan

offices are expected to be negatively associated
with individuals satisfaction with the physical work
environment (ONeill, 2008 ), which may decrease their
performance (Roelofsen, 2008 ; Veitch Charles, Farley,
& Newsham, 2007 ).

2.) the current standards

and guidelines for indoor environments were mainly
developed without paying sufficient attention to open
or modern offices. This lack of attention may decrease
employees satisfaction with indoor environmental
quality. Based on the results of prior studies, satisfaction
with the environment is considered to be a key
indication of performance and employees well-being
(MacMillan, 2012 ; Sundstrom, Town, Rice, Osborn, &
Brill, 1994 ; Van der Voordt, 2004 ; Veitch et al., 2007 ;
Veitch, Charles, Newsham, Marquardt, & Geerts, 2003 ;
Yee, Yeung, & Cheng, 2008 ).

3.) personal control over the work environment

can have a positive influence on workers health,
satisfaction, group cooperation, and effectiveness and
other perceptions associated with health and stress
at both the individual and group levels (Huang et al.,
2004 ; Leather, Beale, & Sullivan, 2003 ; Lee & Brand,
2005 ; McCoy & Evans, 2005 ; ONeill & Evans, 2000 ;
Oldham, 1988 ; Oldham, Kulik, & Stepina, 1991 ).

an effort to maintain class size, while offering the same number of courses to a
greater number of students, universities are increasingly relying on part-time
professors to fill the gap. Nationwide, part-time, adjunct faculty members comprise
three-quarters of the teaching force in colleges and universities, according to the
American Federation of Teachers. The percentage is somewhat lower at many of Long
Islands institutions, but adjuncts still significantly outnumber full-time faculty
members.]

Vol. 145 Issue 11, p84-86. 2p. 1 Color Photograph (Adjunct faculty save colleges
and students money but could erode the quality of education. As colleges face
increasing costs, the traditional tweed-coated, pipe-smoking, comfortable-job-for-
life full-time professor appears to be going the way of the dodo bird. Nowadays,
the typical college professor is a part-timer, moonlighting for extra cash or
prestige, or "freeway flying"--cobbling together a teaching career with several
classes at different colleges.)
