Description
Summary:Includes abstract. === Includes bibliographical references. === Telework has been a subject of interest for many years to re- searchers and policy makers as it has the potential to benefit individuals, organisations and society. Enabled by information and communication technologies, telework has been in existence for over 35 years and even with significant technological improvements, telework has not achieved wide spread adoption. Of the many aspects of telework investigated, few studies have examined the effect of organisational features, which affect telework success. This research study examines the role of the organisation in telework adoption and explores the organisational factors that may positively or negatively influence telework diffusion.
