A Tool for Assessing User Experience of Fit of a Virtual Workplace.

The aim of this article is to formulate theoretical premises for a virtual workplace fit/misfit assessment tool as well as pilot the tool with a preliminary study. The theoretical basis lies in the environment-person fit theory applied in the field of worker-workspace relationship. The categories of Frequency, Atmosphere, Familiarity, Functionality, Narrative and Meaning of the place were developed and used for assessing the fit of a virtual workplace. The pilot research showed that the categories systematically sorted out the features of the virtual workplace in a way that might be useful for illustrating the differences of various virtual workplaces and thus assessing the fit of various virtual workplaces.
