“…As one of their interviewees said: ''When I want to work I go home.'' Several studies found a positive impact of teleworking on individual performance, wellbeing and effectiveness (Atkinson 1985;Baruch, 2000;Di Martino and Wirth 1990), although evidence for improved performance is mostly based on self-reported evaluations.…”

Teleworking is a relatively new mode of alternative work arrangements. During its short life, the study of teleworking gained considerable attention in the literature for both its academic relevance and its practical implications for management. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the developments in this area, studying the nature of teleworking, its antecedents, processes and outcomes. Different models and perspectives are presented and analysed with emphasis shared between both positive and negative aspects. Directions for future research on teleworking issues, as well as recommendations for a new research agenda, are offered within a framework of Why, What and How to explore the future of teleworking.

“…Several studies especially those from Baruch and Nicholson, 1997;Hill et al, 1998;Leonard, 2000, andLake, 2013 have highlighted employees' improved efficiency and effectiveness and even increased morale and satisfaction as some intangible benefits of teleworking. There is definitely a positive impact of telworking on individual performance (Golden et al, 2008), wellbeing and effectiveness (Atkinson, 1985;Baruch, 2000;Di Martino and Wirth, 1990). Increased workforce participation in teleworking and remote working is becoming more of an option for employers of labour because according to Hart (2008):…”

This paper considers strategic green issues of teleworking in terms of the environment, transport, location, office space and resource use for modern organisations and business sectors and formulates a conceptual model of the processes involved. Teleworking technologies are variously implemented for green computing initiatives and many advantages include lower greenhouse gas emissions related to travel, greater worker satisfaction and, as a result of lower overhead office costs, increased profit margins. The paper initially investigates the appropriateness of a working definition of teleworking with regard to green computing and explores the benefits, and barriers, of teleworking in a green computing environment. Theoretical frameworks and models of teleworking are considered and a conceptual model of the contribution of teleworking to green computing is formulated. The application of the model is considered in terms of teleworking concepts, the organisational environment and driving forces. It is the intention of the paper to identify, and articulate, those teleworking concepts that will be useful to academicians, scientists, business entrepreneurs, practitioners, managers and policy makers, and to indicate future directions for research scholars and students with similar interests.

“…In the early 80's many of the study results indicated an increase in productivity, flextime, job autonomy, and company loyalty. Moreover, there was a reported increase in social isolation and role ambiguity, plus a decrease in task significance, feedback, work-group job enrichment, communication and home autonomy (Atkinson, 1985;Olson & Primps, 1984;Hamilton, 1987).…”

Advances in information technology are allowing selective employees to work “anywhere” and at “anytime.” The work location for some employees is changing from the traditional corporate office to a virtual work location, such as the home, hotel, airport, shared and satellite office, client office and the car. This trend toward “alternative work styles” and the distributed workforce is likely to continue. As these work styles and virtual workplaces continue to emerge, understanding and designing effective work systems using a macroergonomics perspective is essential to achieve the benefits of distributed work and telecommuting. In this paper, we will provide an overview of the major macroergonomics issues associated with telecommuting. First, we present the literature databases used for this paper, a macroergonomics perspective and model. Next, examples of telecommuting programs, including the organizational structure, implementation process and evaluation strategy are given. A review of the existing empirical research concerning telecommuting and its implications are also discussed. Further, a macroergonomics process for managing the health and safety of telecommuters is described. In summary, a discussion of future telecommuting research and program development using a macroergonomics, work system design approach, is given.
