我们在日常活动中经常面临压力，以至于世界卫生组织认为压力是21世纪的流行病。压力是人类对生活中的调整、经历、条件和环境做出的生理和心理反应。虽然造成压力的原因有很多，但工作和工作压力仍然是主要原因。因此，公司越来越有兴趣为员工创造更健康、更舒适、更无压力的办公室。当室内环境不能满足人们对健康和舒适的需求时，就会产生环境压力。事实上，办公室环境条件(例如，热、室内空气条件、照明和噪音)和室内设计参数(例如，办公室布局、颜色、家具、景观通道、到窗户的距离、个人控制和亲生设计)都被发现会影响办公室员工的压力水平。基于压力恢复理论的一系列研究为建立办公室提供了新的见解，这些办公室可以限制环境压力，帮助恢复工作压力。为此，本文回答了十个问题，探讨了室内办公环境与员工压力水平之间的关系。对这十个问题的回答是基于广泛的文献回顾，从迄今所取得的成果中得出结论。本研究为今后办公室环境应激相关研究奠定了基础。
We regularly face stress during our everyday activities, to the extent that stress is recognized by the World Health Organization as the epidemic of the 21st century. Stress is how humans respond physically and psychologically to adjustments, experiences, conditions, and circumstances in their lives. While there are many reasons for stress, work and job pressure remain the main cause. Thus, companies are increasingly interested in creating healthier, more comfortable, and stress-free offices for their workers. The indoor environment can induce environmental stress when it cannot satisfy the individual needs for health and comfort. In fact, office environmental conditions (e.g., thermal, and indoor air conditions, lighting, and noise) and interior design parameters (e.g., office layout, colors, furniture, access to views, distance to window, personal control and biophilic design) have been found to affect office workers' stress levels. A line of research based on the stress recovery theory offers new insights for establishing offices that limit environmental stress and help with work stress recovery. To that end, this paper answers ten questions that explore the relation between the indoor office-built environment and stress levels among workers. The answers to the ten questions are based on an extensive literature review to draw conclusions from what has been achieved to date. Thus, this study presents a foundation for future environmental stress related research in offices.
