Impact of Physical Environment on Non-verbal Communication
The physical environment has a big impact on nonverbal communication. Identify a referenced source that talks about the impact of a physical environment on people who work there (either generally, of in a specific case). Define each of the following terms and tell how it relates to the overall issue of nonverbal communication in the workplace: Proxemics; Chronemics; Clothing; Architecture, lighting, and physical environment. If you were designing the 'optimum' physical environment for an office workplace (to have employees feel comfortable, motivated, and productive) what would that office space look like?
