Open Office
A
large room where all the departments, men and equipments are accommodated
without partition wall is called an open office. In this case, staff is put in
big hap instead of separate rooms. In that hall every department is allotted a
separate space and the departmental demarcation is done through filing cabinets
or shelves. Open office makes fullest utilisation of space and ensures better
control. The greatest drawbacks of open offices are absence of privacy and
impersonal atmospphere.
Private Office
Private
offices denote small rooms separated from similar other rooms. In private
office, small group of staff sit in a small room, which may be constructed by
using pucca walls, or a part of open office converted into cubicles through
partitions. These are allotted to top executives and important persons in the
management like managing director, general manager and departmental managers.
Private
office ensures greater privacy in work and create personal atmosphere in work.
These are also uneconomical and create a stale of decentralization.
