Currently there are few studies about coworking in Brazil. The study has a qualitative approach and can be characterized as a case study.

Amongst the findings is the comprehension that coworking is a complex phenomenon and, therefore, it contributes to organizational performance in different ways for different coworkers. This research used a multidimensional model of organizational performance to better comprehend how coworking spaces contribute to organizational results. The model evaluate performance through social results, technical-operational results, political results and economical-financial-market results.
