Knowledge flow between employees is an important process that influences both effectiveness and innovativeness. Among the antecedences of the employees’ knowledge sharing behaviour are the physical structure of the organization and the decisions concerning placement of individuals in the work space. The paper examines how organizational architecture and location of employees is related with different types of knowledge sharing. In this case study research the work place observation and content analysis of interviewees were applied. The study was done in the Quality Department in Polish subsidiary of multinational concern. It turned out that where there was the greater physical distance between employees and limited visual contact, the responsive knowledge sharing was favoured. Moreover, the more open was the work space where employees from different departments were located, the employees looked for the cloistered areas to share knowledge and that process was less spontaneous. In order to eliminate the spatial constrains to knowledge sharing, the group leaders in the department, regularly organized meetings facilitating knowledge flow in the groups.

The relationship between the organizational structure and the work space are becoming more and more often the focus of research. It results from the fact that, since the beginnings of the scientific approach to management, these both dimensions have evolved, however not always in harmony. As far as the organizational maps (structures, hierarchies) are becoming more and more blurred, temporary and obscure (by means of network, virtual or liquid structures), the territories (buildings, offices, locations) are more often the indictor of image, identity and culture of a given organization. The deliberations concerning these issues, initiated by such authors as Foucault or Lefebvre led to the so called ‘spatial turn’ in the research on organizations. It turns out that these spatial relationships as well as the aesthetics of work place significantly influence not only productivity but also motivation, innovativeness, communication and the relationship of power between the employees. That’s why the question, of how to examine the design, social and cultural phenomenon which is the contemporary office and other work space, remains open.

Relacje pomiędzy strukturą organizacyjną a przestrzenią pracy coraz częściej stają się przedmiotem badań. Jest to spowodowane faktem, że od początków naukowego podejścia do zarządzania oba te wymiary ewoluują, jednak nie zawsze w sposób współgrający. O ile organizacyjne mapy (struktury, hierarchie) stają się coraz bardziej rozmyte, tymczasowe i niejasne (za sprawą struktur sieciowych, wirtualnych, czy płynnych), to terytoria (budynki, biura, lokalizacje) coraz częściej są wyznacznikiem wizerunku, tożsamości i kultury danej organizacji. Rozważania dotyczące tych zagadnień, zapoczątkowane przez takich autorów, jak Foucault, czy Lefebvre, doprowadziły do tzw. „zwrotu przestrzennego” w badaniach nad organizacjami. Okazuje się przy tym, że relacje przestrzenne i estetyka miejsca pracy w istotny sposób rzutuje nie tylko na produktywność, ale też na motywację, innowacyjność, komunikację i relacje władzy pomiędzy pracownikami. Dlatego też otwartym pytaniem pozostaje kwestia, jak badać fenomen projektowy, społeczny i kulturowy, jakim jest współczesne biuro i inne przestrzenie pracy.
