Despite the wide dissemination and acceptance of teleworking, there are negative effects for employees. Literature shows that these negative effects of telework lead to undesired outcomes for teleworkers such as teleworkexhaustion. The present research, however, goes one step further by identifying three significant telework-characteristics and hypothesising the relationship between telework-ch...

In contrast to a rich literature on telework in Europe and North America, little analysis of this form of working has been undertaken in Asian contexts. This paper summarises the main issues raised about telework in the Euro-American context and the more limited writing on telework in Asia. It suggests a number of factors which need to be taken into account in further empirical investigation of...

It is believed that telework has numerous benefits for individuals, organizations, and the whole society. Despite the expected benefits, adoption and diffusion of telework have been considerably slow. In Japan, the adoption rate of telework is said to be lower compared with other industrialize countries. The aim of this research is to examine the telework implementation status and the perceptio...

In the broadest sense, the term telework refers to organizational work [email protected] outside of the normal organizational confines of space and time, augmented by computer and communications technology. While most of the interest in telework has been confined to “telecommuting” or working from home, very little research has been done on the other-forms of telework. Beyond telecommuting, this paper ...

The development of information and communication technologies has led to the rise of new working forms in firms, some of which are temporally and spatially dispersed, such as telework practices. However, ‘telework’ is a broad concept, including different forms of remote work as well as diverse reasons and performance implications for the separation of work from ...

A primary motivation of telework policy is to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Using a numerical simulation of the standard urban model, we show telework causes sprawl, calling into question the idea that telework decreases energy consumption. Overall effects depend on wage changes due to telework, land use regulation such as height limits or greenbelts, and the telework ...

An unanswered question regarding telework is how differences in workplace distraction levels influence the effect of the extent of telework on productivity. Drawing from research and theory on cognitive overload and distraction conflict, we developed a quasi-field experiment to test the influence of so-called 'distraction gains' (indicating lower distraction levels at home compared to the offic...

Engagement in work through information and communication technology from places other than a corporate office, often referred to as telework, is simultaneously transforming work and life. In order to support successful adoption of telework by organizations it is important to move away from research stacking up evidence for or against telework. Instead what is required is a more nuanced examinat...

Applications of telecommunications and information technologies impact many areas of life. Especially telework is an application area, which still possesses a large growth potential. It is developing rapidly and today there are already more than 2 million Europeans who practice telework. This paper sums up the results of an internet research on telework activities in Europe. This survey is embe...

Telework, which is defined as work performed at home or a satellite office to reduce commuting, is attracting much attention as an alternative way to organize work. Numerous studies have pointed out a variety of advantages of telework for individuals, organizations, and society. Current telework research, however, displays many weaknesses that inhibit use of this alternative as an effective veh...
