ABSTRACT
This study investigated the influence of the physical work environment toward stress at work place, particularly the color Composition used. The research subjects Were Thirty students of Asmi (Secretary and Management Academy) WHO Were divided into three groups, namely the Harmonious group, the Disharmonious group, and the Controlled Group. The Work Stress Scale was Used in the measurement process. The measurement was done three times: before the experiment, in the middle of the experiment (first two hours), and after the experiment (last two hours). The result was analysed using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) A-Mix-B model of the SPS-2000 application software.
  The result of this study illustrated That there was a significant difference on levels of work stress impacted by color Composition applied at work space (F = 4149, p = 0026 <0050). The graphics of work stress averages of the Harmonious Harmonious color group showed Composition That did not affect the work stress significantly (t = -0260, p = 0306> 0050). The dominantly white color That played a role Composition as the controlled group was in fact Able to reduce the work stress. The graphic showed the Controlled That group tended to Decrease significantly with These values: t = 0913, p = 0035 <0050, and the average stress was the initial work (0000) higher than the final one (- 22 800). The Disharmonious group showed the color Composition That increased the stress level at work (t = 1422, p = 0004 <0010).
It was concluded That color Harmonious Composition at work space did not influence the stress level at work, dominantly white Colour Composition Could reduce the stress level at work, and inharmonious (Disharmonious) color application Composition Had potencies to elevate the stress level at work.
