Data collection: selection approach

Selection approach and data collection
Application or inclusion criteria	1. Limited our search to articles published before March 2022
	2. Limited our search to articles written in English
Selection approach round I	1. Search databases (Scopus, Google Scholar and Academia) and references in the articles we found
	2. Focused on “activity-based working,” which had to be mentioned in the title, keywords and/or abstract.(n = 1,100)
	3. Focused on employees in “higher education.”(n = 107)4. Added additional keywords, such as “activity-based flexible office,” “flexible office” and “open-plan office” ( Appendix) (n = 116)
Selection approach round II	1. Manually selected or eliminated the identified articles by: a) focusing on papers in contexts where workstations were unassigned and activity-centered zones existed b) focusing on articles that specified a transition to flexible, activity-based working. We excluded conceptual papers c) focusing on research articles that reported outcomes before, during, and after the transition. We excluded papers that only reported active design and mobile working(n = 21)
	2. Personal and email contact with several authors of the identified papers
