Abstract
An interdisciplinary body of literature has focused on the role of lighting in mitigating
patient and employee stress and error-producing conditions in hospital settings. The purpose of
this case study was to explore how a new circadian lighting system installed in a small pharmacy
unit with no penetration of natural light is experienced by staff. Psychosocial variables, such as
affective organizational commitment, perceived productivity, wellbeing, and satisfaction with the
physical work environment were measured in order to further a line of enquiry that may help
facilities managers and hospital administrators make optimal choices when purchasing lighting
and commissioning retrofits.
