<![CDATA[This study investigates the influence of the physical environment on work performance, regarding the composition of the colors used in the workspace. Thirty students of the Academy of Management and Secretary were recruited through announcements on their campus and are grouped into three, namely the harmonious, disharmonic, and the control group. An experimental task that must be done is to copy the article to a computer for 2x2 hours, interspersed with rest for 1 hour. Results of their work in the form of typing are calculated based on the number of pages, rows, and the number of words with Word Count on the Microsoft Word program. By using SPSS software version 17, the data were analyzed using the Analysis of Variance Model. The results showed that there were significant differences in performance influenced by the composition of colors in the workspace based on the number of pages as an indicator. But the other measurements based on the number of lines showed no significant difference. The measurement based on the number of words also showed no significant difference. With these results, we can conclude that the work performance resulting in a workspace using harmonious color composition on the floor, walls, and windows has no significant difference with the performance produced in the work space with disharmonic and neutral color composition. Argumentation and future research suggestions are discussed.]]>
