Abstract
This exploratory study examines the relationship between third place work environments and work engagement. Other factors, including coworking characteristics, Gensler work modes, and Person-Environment fit are also considered. Qualitative research methods were applied. Data collection included focus groups, interviews and field observations at eight sites in the Minneapolis -Saint Paul metropolitan area. Data analysis was performed using content analysis to identify emerging themes. A theoretical model was developed to explain how the factors were related and indicated relevance to the design of third place environments. Implications for stakeholders and designers were discussed as well as opportunities for future research. Keywords: absorption, coworking, engagement, qualitative, person-environment fit theory, third-place, work engagement, work modes
