The morale of an individual working in an organization can be impacted by both positive and negative ways by physical environment factors of the workplace. The physical environment of an organization impacts a lot on the work performance of an individual. It becomes more significant in case of aviation maintenance organization formally called Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) organization as the work performed by an individual requires full accuracy and directly linked with the safety of the aircraft and its occupants. This can only be achieved by providing a safe and positive working atmosphere to individuals working in MROs. Considering the same, this study targets to deliver a brief status report of physical environment factors disturbing work performance in Maintenance Repair Overhaul (MRO) agencies. This study initially explains the impact of different physical environment factors. The study also discusses the impact of unsafe work due to improper working environment in aircraft maintenance organizations. The individual’s working in MROs located in the United Arab Emirates were considered for testing the physical environment factors for this case study. This case study aims to provide the status of different physical environment factor of organization causing problems at work for individuals working in aircraft maintenance organizations. The result of the study indicated that MROs in UAE are providing a conducive working atmosphere to employees, however, the lack of workplace is still an area for improvement.</p>
