ABSTRACT

Research into organizational space has advanced notably in recent years (e.g. Beyes and Steyaert, 2011; Clegg and Kornberger, 2006; Dale, 2005; Dale and Burrell, 2008; Hernes, 2004; Kingma, 2008; Taylor and Spicer, 2007; Watkins, 2005), and Henri Lefebvre’s writings on space, particularly his 1991 book The Production of Space, offer a comprehensive framework for the field. In particular, Lefebvre’s triadic model of social space—comprising conceived, perceived and lived space (Lefebvre, 1991a)—has been widely used for spatial analysis in organization studies.
