다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

As offices increasingly move into the center of large cities, office workers are short of time to focus on their tasks and unable to improve their efficiency due to commuting time, transportation cost and reduced working space. As a measure to solve such complex issues, 'smart office' is drawing attention in recent years. It is also needed to correctly understand the psychological effect of color and which color can improve efficiency. This study aims to investigate how color has an effect on emotional change to improve the efficiency of creative activities in smart office, using an experiment. The experiment was conducted using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) test: a portable form of color paper was placed on the table of office and a creative activity was performed using LEGO blocks. The colors used for the experiment were changed from white and blue to while, blue, green and grey. This study proposed a portable folding color pad to improve the work efficiency of smart office based on 2 experiments.
