本研究旨在探討共享空間（辦公室）員工在人格特質、正負向情感與工作幸福感的關係。本研究以量化以及質化研究的方式，針對在台灣和英國兩地共享空間工作者進行問卷與訪談研究。在分析55份有效問卷以及4場訪談後，結果顯示員工具有高度外向性與開放性和正向情感具有正相關；而員工具有高度神經質和負向情感具有正相關。此外，工作正向情感越高，工作幸福感越強；反之，工作負性情感越強，工作幸福感越低｡本研究能提供共享空間員工、新創公司或是主管更深入了解共享空間（辦公室）的現況，以及具有那些個性的員工適合在這類型的辦公室工作。

This study explores the relations between the Big Five personality model, self-report Positive and Negative Affect (PANAS), and workplace well-being among employees working at coworking spaces (offices). Both quantitative and qualitative models were employed in the study. Survey and interview participants come from the two target countries, Taiwan and the United Kingdom. After analyzing 55 valid responses and 4 semi-structured interviews, the results revealed extraversion and openness had positive correlations to PA, and neuroticism had a positive correlation to NA. Furthermore, a positive association was found between PA and workplace well-being, whereas, a negative association was between NA and workplace well-being. The study could be helpful for coworking space employees, startups and corporate managers to (a) gain insights of coworking spaces from current employees’ perspectives and (b) decide employees of which personality can work more effectively in coworking spaces.
