Abstract: Teleworking is an alternate work arrangement that has transformed the workplace that allows workers to fulfill their job assignment from any location away from the traditional office. Although this work arrangement has been growing in popularity due to various factors such as concerns for the environment, advances in communication technologies, and the globalization of the workforce, there are growing concerns that frequent use of teleworking may cause increase perceptions of feeling isolated [1] Golden, 2001;… Show more

“…On the other hand, there is contrasting evidence that shows a negative relationship between telework and employee engagement, mediated by increased isolation (Arora, 2012;Davis & Cates, 2013;Sardeshmukh, Sharma, & Golden, 2012). An explanation for this finding is that social relationships drive human motivation and if the social need is thwarted, perceptions of isolation will emerge, which can have a negative influence on engagement among teleworkers (Davis & Cates, 2013). This relationship can be contingent upon the frequency of telework.…”

“…For the individual worker, the perception of autonomy has been related to employee satisfaction while the perception of working in an isolated environment has been linked to a heightened sense of disconnectedness and loneliness (Bartel et al, 2012;Greenhaus & Kossek, 2014;Naqvi et al, 2013). As work is a personal experience, researchers have suggested that more studies could be conducted at the individual level to better understand how virtual workplace isolation affects the employee satisfaction and work outcomes of virtual workers (Allen et al, 2015;Bartel et al, 2012;Belle et al, 2015;Davis & Cates, 2013;Greer & Payne, 2014;Maher & Bedawy, 2015;Moriarty, 2014;Smith, Patmos, & Pitts, 2018).…”

“…The isolating nature of virtual work presented an opportunity for managers to examine and improve core management practices that meet the needs of today's diverse workplace (Maher & Bedawy, 2015). Davis and Cates (2013) studied the relationship between workplace isolation and the engagement of virtual workers. Davis and Cates (2013) extended the study to determine if workplace isolation and the gender of virtual workers were related.…”

“…The E-leadership theory has emerged with the evolution of telecommuting in the workplace which allows people to work anywhere, anytime (Davis and Cates, 2013). The development of advanced information technologies (AIT), such as emails, message boards, knowledge management systems and information systems, are the source of the rapid development of telecommuting and increased usage of virtual teams (Avolio et al, 2000;Malhotra et al, 2007).…”

Consequently, virtual interactions are becoming increasingly common in the workplace (Davis and Cates, 2013;Malhotra et al, 2007). Avolio et al (2000) defined Eleadership as "a social influence process mediated by AIT to produce a change in attitudes, feelings, thinking, behavior and/or performance with individuals, groups and/or organizations.…”
