บทคัดย่อ
As an alternative to traditional office facilities, cafés have been increasing in popularity. The article mixes theory and documentary analysis to show how useful café-style workstations may be for many different things. It combines ideas from the fields of organizational psychology, workstation design, and Buddhist studies. According on Buddhist Sappāya principles, which aim to promote well-being, this study investigates how café workspaces are designed and utilized.
The article shows that the basic qualities of cafés, such as their friendly atmospheres, sense of community, and subtle encouragement of conscious connection, are in line with the main ideas of Sappāya. The papers carefully investigated data from scholarly publications, case studies, and related theoretical constructs to come up with a new conceptual framework that intelligently mixes with Sappāya insights from environmental psychology. This unified model gives a complete plan for making the most of modern work places by giving useful tips for improving mental health, encouraging mindfulness, and making work environments in coffee shops more productive.
