The discipline is both value oriented and problem oriented, with the objective of solving complex environmental problems to achieve individual wellbeing within a larger society. [8] A critical tool to this approach is a model of human nature that predicts the environmental conditions under which humans will behave. This can help design, manage, enhance

It represents a change in focus from “place” to “work,” through a thorough understanding of w or the basis for workplace design. The model emphasizes the importance of understanding knowledge work now and as it evolves, and the settings in which it takes place. Whereby organizations need to provide settings beyond those traditionally provided by “the office” and to develop a ro

suggest that mobility,


collaboration and sustainable practices must be considered holistically, as part of a larger workplace strategy, in order to effectively support individuals and teams. This approach to Environmental Psychology facilitates a better definition of knowledge work and effectively and efficiently translates that understanding to the design, provisioning and ongoing management of workplaces.


Due to the evolving nature of technology in the off wind farm industry technicians as knowledge workers are expected to adapt easily to new roles and ways of thinking and to many kinds of tasks and situations. Many knowledge-based tasks require reliable analytical and judgment skills to carry out work that is often new or farm
