A collaborative workspace or shared workspace is an inter-connected environment in which all the participants in dispersed locations can access and interact with each other just as inside a single entity.
In collaborative workspaces, most people are there because they want to be, unlike in traditional office settings where people go to work because they have to. This means that the office has a much more positive atmosphere and people are there to work. Being surrounded by this type of people can motivate you even further to focus on your goals and deadlines.
