Despite growing interest in the effect of the physical environment on organizational outcomes, we know relatively little about how physical space influences the formation of identity in the workplace. Borrowing from environmental psychology, we employ the concept of place identity, e.g. self-esteem and distinctiveness derived from one's physical setting, to explore the interplay between the material and social context. Through this research we show that the social processes that accompany the implementation of a new space can enhance the swift formation of place identity, ultimately leading to higher levels of work engagement. Specifically, understanding the vision of a new physical environment, perceiving agency to adapt a space to meet one's needs, and having leaders who convey a positive attitude about the physical setting can influence how workers frame their identity in connection to their workplace. Through this study we extend our understanding of social identity by providing evidence that the material context, in concert with the social actions that accompany it, is an important source of identity formation in the workplace.
