这是一小段关于办公室效率发展史:
The Time and motion study, pioneered in manufacturing by F. W. Taylor and later applied to the office environment by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, lead to the idea that managers needed to play an active role in directing the work of subordinates. As a result, in 1915, the Equitable Life Insurance Company in New York City introduced the “Modern Efficiency Desk” with a flat top and drawers below, designed to allow managers an easy view of the workers. This lead to a demand for a large square footages per floor in buildings, and a return to the open spaces that were seen in pre-industrial revolution buildings.
“现代高效办公桌”在1915年AXA保险公司大楼里出现,她有着宽阔的台面,下面带抽屉,专门设计给经理们方便监督工人。这导致有着更大楼层面积的建筑物需求大增,好像又回到前工业化时代那样。
However, by the midpoint of the 20th century, it became apparent that an efficient office required discretion in the control of privacy with is needed to combat tedium linked to poor productivity, and to encourage creativity. In 1964, the Herman Miller (office equipment) company engaged Robert Propst, a prolific industrial designer, who came up with the concept of the Action Office which later evolved into the cubicle office furniture system.
1964年,办公用品公司 Herman Miller 与 工业设计师 Robert Propst 合作,提出了“行动办公室 Action Office”的概念,后来进一步演化为 cubicle 办公家具系统。 |
