A diagram of the triggers, affordances, and constraints of the hot-desking workplace arrangement. The diagram begins with external and internal factors that drive the further proliferation of hot-desking arrangements, such as digital tool adoption, organizational fear of missing out, and financial considerations. These contextual factors enable both hot-desking and work-from-home, the former of which is further fueled by the implementation of the latter. Hot-desking manifests a dual nature; while it affords space efficiency and exposure to different co-workers, it simultaneously imposes constraints on physical and mental health conditions, tasks requiring privacy and focus, and personalization.Affordance, constraints and outcomes of the hot-desking arrangement
