Recent times have provided opportunities for employees, worker, users to create an ideal work environment that has a progressive platform for growth. A particular seating arrangement conveys importance and has either a positive or a negative impact on ones’ work and relates to factors like stress and concentration due to the layout, spatial arrangement, design and other facilities available. The paper analyses different seating arrangements at co-working spaces and its impact on users’ productivity and whether there are constraints influencing the productivity from a dataset collected post covid-19. A co-working space provides an arrangement where diverse worker work at a common space to benefit from the facilities enabling the users to enhance their potential skills and knowledge leading to greater productivity. There are challenges associated with meeting a certain seating arrangement especially post pandemic given the productivity constraints. The study also highlights whether there is a significant difference in the seating preferences of users post covid-19 at co-working spaces with diverse set of job roles. The new normal has forced users to shift and have flexible workspace and this has triggered the seating arrangement influenced by various constraints like physical movements, air quality, natural lighting and greenery. An extensive literature review has been done and found that preferential seating arrangement has not been heavily used and investigated. For the data collection, a questionnaire was prepared and sent across to users with diverse job roles along with an interview conducted with a community associate at co-working spaces. A descriptive and analytical research methodology will be used for the research study. The statistical tools using ANOVA and regression will be applied. The findings and research implications drawn from this research will help in understanding various seating preferences of users and its impact on their productivity which will impact the overall organisations’ success.
