• Coworkers experience social support in CWS, which is important especially in hard times!
• Cross-sectional study; Effects rather small!!
• Quality of social interaction!– Social support vs. social interaction!– Working alone together
drinking coffee and chatting collaborating on projects!
• Important as a first attempt to research the social aspect in Coworking Spaces!
