Workplace strategy is the critical research area that supports employees with appropriate work environments to achieve work outcomes such as productivity, satisfaction, work-life balance, and perception. The research ranges from office layouts to work arrangements within not only physical space but also virtual space. For instance, many workers had experienced or have been experiencing working-from-home arrangements because of COVID-19 these days. The pandemic-enforced working-from-home practices awaken the interdependence between the workplace and home environments and, consequently, the role of the physical workplace.
