Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Social facilitation can result in increased productivity and performance when individuals are working on simple or well-known tasks. However, it can also lead to distraction and decreased performance when working on complex or unfamiliar tasks. Therefore, a balance between open and private workspaces can allow for social interaction and collaboration when needed, but also provide individuals with the ability to work autonomously and without distraction when required.
