Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore police officers’ perceptions of the challenges and work stressors of working in Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) investigation. Design/methodology/approach – Participants were a heterogeneous sample of 32 ICE investigators across nine Australian jurisdictions. Officers’ perceptions of ICE work were elicited via individual, open-ended, anonymous, telephone interviews, which focused on both the nature and impact of work-related stressors and challenges. Findings – Thematic analysis revealed that viewing ICE material was not perceived to be a major stressor or particularly traumatic facet of ICE investigation. Rather, the challenges related to three areas; work relationships, workload and resources and the physical environment. Participants also suggested some improvements to their work environment which could reduce the impact of these challenges. Practical implications – The stressors identified by ICE investigators in this study place physical, psychological and social restrictions on investigative capacity. Modifications to the workplace environment that facilitate more effective professional collaboration, reduce workload and enhance investigator efficiency and functionality of the physical work environment would likely reduce the potential for harm associated with ICE investigation and improve ICE investigators’ capacity to perform their role. Originality/value – This is the first study to use a broad research framework to examine the full range of stressors that ICE investigators face (both organisational and operational). The findings are important for developing comprehensive theories regarding workplace traumatisation as well as holistic intervention models to assist the prevention and management of stress related to ICE investigation.

Purpose This paper aims to explore, which characteristics of activity-based offices are related to the position of workers on the burnout – engagement continuum. Design/methodology/approach Literature review and an online survey amongst knowledge workers in the Netherlands, which provided data of 184 respondents from 14 organisations. The data has been analysed by descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, factor analyses and path analysis, to test the conceptual model. Findings Five physical work environment constructs were identified of which three showed to have significant relations with employees’ position on one of the three dimensions of the burnout – engagement continuum. Distraction has a direct and indirect (through overload) negative relation with the individual strain (meaning increased exhaustion). Office comfort has indirect positive relations (through recognition and appreciation) with the interpersonal strain (meaning increased involvement). The possibility for teleworking has an indirect positive relation (through control) on the self-evaluation strain (meaning increased efficacy). Practical implications The findings show that in the design and management of a healthy physical work environment, corporate real estate managers and human resource managers should particularly pay attention to lowering distraction, providing comfortable workplaces and considering the option of teleworking to some extent. Originality/value This paper provides new insights into the impact of distinct activity-based workplace characteristics on workers’ position on the burnout – engagement continuum.

The Impact

Technological changes have an impact on the way we work and how we use space. The flexibility use of space is important to a specific group of individuals such as startups and freelance developers who operate their businesses in quite a new way. Coworking space was introduced to cope with this new demand in spaces for work with higher flexibility. This study aims to assess user satisfaction of ten coworking spaces in Bangkok Thailand to see similarities and dissimilarities of users’ feedback with regard to different arrangement of physical work environment and support services of the coworking spaces. Research methods include field survey and user satisfaction survey on work environment aspects. The findings showed several factors of work environment influencing user satisfaction of coworking spaces including 1) design attributes, 2) indoor environmental quality, 3) supporting facilities, and 4) support services. This study provides a better understanding of factors influencing user satisfaction of coworking spaces that can be used to improve and develop coworking spaces in similar contextual factors. The limitation of this paper is the generalizability, as this paper was conducted in Thailand. The impact of national culture may influence the outcome. More case studies in Thailand and also other countries, based on surveys with large samples of respondents are required to increase the validity and to establish whether it is possible to generalise the study’s findings.
