Light Effects on Personality Transformation

Abstract

This study found that the effect of illuminance and color temperature on creative thinking and analytical skills is not systematic, suggesting that different working environments should provide different artificial lighting settings based on their primary skill requirements. The findings of this study can contribute to the effectiveness of the working environments. As mood shifts can affect the creative ability of space users and impact their behavior, mood swings, controlled by illuminating the environment can be beneficial and crucial in work performance. This study proves the enhancement of positivity in the work environment. The knowledge of employees and their comprehension of the complex interactions and creative performance are inevitably regulated by the lighting parameters. This study mentions natural light but also covers the significant role of artificial light. However, in a practical working environment, we cannot neglect the effects of daylight. Further work on the progressive combination of artificial light and natural light will be carried out to establish more practical results. The outcome of the present study shall be validated in future experiential determinations with participants of larger sample size, balanced gender (Knez 2001), measured in different works, among certain age groups to improve the general implications
