A STUDY ON THE ROLE OF CO-WORKING SPACES AS KNOWLEDGE CENTRES

Co-working spaces have become increasingly popular among the students, employees, freelancers, and entrepreneurs in past few years. There are various internal and external factors that might influence the learning of any individual in their day-to-day life. Learning in a co-working space is also challenging to attain naturally because not every user is comfortable interacting with each other to learn new things. However, the users of co-working space do witness the various learning opportunities at the co-working space. The main purpose of the study is to examine how co-working space act a space for sharing knowledge and how learning at co-working takes place. Both primary and secondary sources of data will be used. The review of literature will help to get insights to co-working space and the benefits, learning opportunities and practices at a co-working space in general.  The data will be collected from the diverse users of a co-working space such as the entrepreneurs, freelancers, and employees of a company through a questionnaire and then analysed using descriptive and inferential analysis. The SPSS software will be used for chi-square test, correlation, regression and Annova for getting the inference. We discuss the relationship between the co-working space and learning space and the user’s perception towards the co-working space as a learning space. This inference will help us to focus on the future facilities to be offered to the co-working space users and thereby encourage people to use the co-working space as their new learning space.
