在这个信息通信技术的时代，一个高质量的工作环境对居住者来说至关重要。在包括坦桑尼亚在内的大多数最不发达国家，提供数量而非质量的工作环境是非常普遍的。现有研究认为，室内环境质量差，如照明，对人体健康有不利影响，对办公室工作人员来说，也会影响他们的工作表现。本研究旨在分析坦桑尼亚照明质量对工人工作效率的影响。方法2018年6 - 9月对姆贝亚科技大学行政楼4个代表处进行调查。对随机选择的居住者使用定制的问卷调查工具，调查他们对工作场所照明质量的看法及其对健康和工作效率的影响。进行了物理观察和照度分布测量。结果统计分析显示，大部分员工对工作环境的照明质量不满意，部分受访者表示照明质量严重影响了他们的工作效率和幸福感。办公桌的平均照度和均匀度水平被发现低于特许建筑服务工程师学会（CIBSE）和国际照明委员会（CIE）的推荐值。尽管提出了改善措施，但本研究强调，衔接不良的工作环境会对工人的生产力和工作效率产生不利影响。在这种条件下工作的工人也容易患职业病。因此，提供健康的工作环境应该是工人的一项基本权利。
Background In this era of Information Communication Technology, a high-quality working environment is essential to the occupants. Providing quantity rather the quality of work environments is very common in most of the least developed countries, including Tanzania. Existing research asserts that poor indoor environmental quality such as lighting has a detrimental effect on human health, and in case of the office working population, it also affects their work performance. This study aims to analyze the effects of the lighting quality on working efficiency of workers in Tanzania. Methods Four representative offices from the administration building at Mbeya University of Science and Technology were investigated from June to September 2018. The customized questionnaire survey tool was administered to the randomly selected occupants to survey their perceptions about the quality of lighting in their workplace and its influence on their health and work efficiency. Physical observation and illuminance distribution measurements were also conducted. Results The statistical analysis indicates that the majority of the occupants are less satisfied with the lighting quality in their working environment, and some respondents reported that it significantly affected their work efficiency and wellbeing. The average desk illuminance and uniformity level were found to be below the recommended values of the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) and the International Commission on lighting (CIE). Conclusion Despite the suggested improvement measures, this research emphasizes that poorly articulated work environment can adversely affect the productivity and work efficiency of the workers. The workers in such condition are also exposed to occupational diseases. Thus, providing a healthy work environment should be a fundamental right of the workers.
