The Telecommuting Adoption Process
Author: Jun-Ru YenPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Commuting
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The substitution of travel by telecommunication has been advocated as a strategy to reduce congestion on transportation facilities and thereby reduce fuel consumption and air pollutant emissions. Work-at-home schemes and workplace decentralization with satellite work centers are two alternatives being explored, as well as many other nontraditional approaches to structure workplace activities and worker responsibilities. The goal of this report is to offer a comprehensive framework of the interactions between telecommuting and travel behavior and to develop a mathematical model of the telecommuting adoption process. The framework identifies two principal actors in the decision process, the employee and employer. Discrete choice models are employed to formulate the adoption process of both employee and employer. These choice models are based on the ordered-response theory and the normality assumptions of the disturbances, known as the ordinal probit model. The models are calibrated using stated-preference survey data from three Texas cities.

Growing the Virtual Workplace

Pages : 275
Book Description
Foreword by Scott McNealy The authors have produced an extraordinarily useful book on the numerous facets of the complex teleworking phenomenon. Although their pro-telework position is clear (and persuasively justified), their discussion of each element is thoughtful, balanced, and carefully referenced. Their conceptual paradigm offers a very helpful way to organize and synthesize the vast and growing literature on teleworking, and they have employed it to masterful effect. They have succeeded in producing a work that is equally valuable and relevant to organizations, individual employees, public planners, and academic scholars no small feat. Patricia L. Mokhtarian, University of California, Davis, US At TELUS, teleworking has become an important part of our operating framework. Thousands of our team members telework on a part-time basis and hundreds of our team members telework on a full-time basis. The individual, environmental, social and financial benefits achieved through telework are compelling and real. This book by the Haskayne School of Business offers comprehensive insights that will help TELUS and hopefully many other enterprises to fully realize the great benefits of telework. Josh Blair, TELUS, Canada The first integrative analysis of the virtual workplace s many contributions to sustainable development: a must read for strategists in firms and governments. Ans Kolk, University of Amsterdam Business School, The Netherlands This book is a great reference for senior executives looking to implement telework to enhance their business. As the leading provider of managed IP communications services in North America, MegaPath supports the telework programs of hundreds of companies with IT remote access VPN services. This book addresses the many challenges these companies have faced and the benefits they have derived from telework programs. Greg Davis, MegaPath, US Employees, organizations and society alike should grow the virtual workplace, as the multiple, tangible benefits of telework for each of these three stakeholders largely outweigh the costs. To help stakeholders benefit from the virtual workplace, the authors analyze four key issues: telework adoption, implementation, tracking and impacts. They develop the comprehensive EOS framework to examine both the interaction among employees, organizations and society, and the linkages among telework impacts, tracking, implementation and adoption. Unique features of the book include an integrative framework for increasing telework adoption; practical tips specific to each stakeholder on how best to implement and measure telework; and an analysis of original survey data exploring the virtual workplace adoption decision. Readership for this book includes academic experts on telecommuting, policymakers involved in transportation, human resource or environmental policies, and managers and employees considering telework.
Telecommuting

Pages : 144
Book Description
Telecommuting has been regarded as a powerful tool to reduce traffic congestion, pollution and energy consumption. It also supposed to improve lifestyle quality and job satisfaction by providing employees with flexible schedules with which to address their work load and personal requirements whilst also enhancing recruitment capability and productivity and significantly reducing costs. Nevertheless, a strong resistance to the adoption of telecommuting still persists. In this book, first published in 1996, state of the art demand modelling techniques are used to delve into critical issues raised by the question of telecommuting. The benefits and costs of telecommuting are investigated in an effort to provide concrete evidence to inform the private sector’s adoption decision process and the public sector’s policy design. This title will be of interest to students of business studies and human resource management.
