Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine how the perceived physical environments of hotel kitchens influence cooking employees' internal responses. According to the analysis results of this study, except Hypothesis 2 which was rejected in this study, all the hypotheses were partially accepted. These results support the research hypotheses of this study that comfort, spatiality, and convenience as physical environments will have significant effects on emotional response and cognitive response. Also, equipment use as convenience had statistically significant effects on both emotional response and cognitive response whereas working environment as comfort and kitchen circulation and working space as spatiality had no effect. Therefore, kitchen environment should be set up in the direction of guaranteeing kitchen convenience to the maximum, and the further researches on the constituent factors which have no effect on emotional response and cognitive response should be proceeded continuously.
