PERFORMANCE
ABSTRACT
A work environment can be identified as the place that one works, which means the
milieus around a person. It is the social and professional environment in which a
person is supposed to interact with a number of people. The work environment has a
significant impact upon employee performance and productivity. This study aims to
provide the vital information regarding the work environment factors which have an
influence on employee performance. Creating a work environment in which employees
are productive is essential to increase profits for the organization and businesses as
well. In short the work place becomes an integral part of the work itself. Businesses
must step outside their traditional roles to create a work environment where employees
enjoy what they do, have pride in what they do, can reach their potential. The
respondents surveyed were the employees of the manufacturing companies. Total
number of employees surveyed is 100. The study shows how the work environment in
this organization is affecting the employee performance.
