On Modeling the Choices of Work-Hour Arrangement, Location and Frequency of Telecommuting
نویسندگان
چکیده
A comprehensive model of three distinct dimensions of work-related choices is proposed in this study. The different choice dimensions considered are work-hour arrangement, location, and frequency of telecommuting. Such a model underscores the role of employee work-hour arrangement in telecommuting choices by bringing out the differences in preferences for telecommuting frequency (both home and center-based) between employees with different workhour arrangements. The model is applied using data from a survey of San Diego city employees conducted in 1992. The results indicate the importance of modeling work-related decisions as a joint choice rather than examining individual dimensions of work decisions in isolation.
