41. Telecommuting Productivity Research: Hypotheses About Telecommuting And Producti identifies 15 hypotheses about why telecommuting may not increase productivityover previous levels. Does telecommuting Really Increase Productivity? http://cochise.uia.net/westfalr/prdctvty.html

Does Telecommuting Really Increase Productivity? Fifteen Rival Hypotheses Ralph D. Westfall (westfalr@acm.org) School of Business, Biola University, La Mirada, California The telecommuting literature includes frequent references to increases in productivity (e.g., Duxbury, Higgins and Mills, 1992; Venkatesh and Vitalari, 1992). Huws, Korte, and Robinson note the "surprising degree of unanimity" in regard to productivity impacts (1990, p. 44). However many of the claims in the literature derive either from unpublished studies (e.g., Caudron, 1992; Weiss, 1994), or from subjective evaluations of productivity rather than objective measures of output (e.g., JALA Associates, 1990; Nilles, 1994). It is possible that some or all of these gains represent artifacts of the research process or of the specific implementations of telecommuting. Alternative explanations for the reported gains are summarized below under five propositions, which subsume 15 testable rival hypotheses. PROPOSITION 1. Telecommuting productivity gains may be overstated. This proposition embodies the concept that reported gains may, in whole or part, reflect inaccurate subjective perceptions or other artifacts of the evaluation process.

44. Telecommuting telecommuting. British Telecom defines teleworking as Working away from the officeon a fulltime or part-time basis, and communicating with it electronically http://user.itl.net/~gazza/telecomm.htm

Telecommuting British Telecom defines teleworking as: "Working away from the office on a full-time or part-time basis, and communicating with it electronically [i.e. telecommuting]." The populists, theorists and other spouters of crap have predicted that, by the turn of the century, about half of all employees will spend at least part of the week working from home. In theory, for many types of work, it should be possible to telework today. To set yourself up as a teleworker, in addition to the hardware and software you are using now, you'll need a source for contracts or for full-time work. An up-to-date selection of these can be found in UseNet's job groups; here is a selection of some of the better known ones: uk.jobs.offered misc.jobs.offered misc.jobs.contract Employment can also be found through one of the on-line job agencies; some of the better ones are listed below: British Papyrus Media Jobserve The Employment Network Hunterskil ... BCL Global/American Career Mosaic The Placement Group Job Center Career Magazine ... Online Career Centre Although these employers are obviously "net-aware", most (99%+) advertise for people to work in a specific physical location, very few are interested in teleworkers and those that are almost invariably insist on employing their own nationals. There are good reasons for this. Although the Internet is an international phenomenon, teleworkers are likely to be restricted to working within their existing national boundaries; the regulations governing work permits, pay and taxes ensure that this will be the case for some time to come. For example, is an American software house allowed to use, say, Spanish teleworkers in preference to American employees (teleworkers or not)? Will our Spanish worker expect to receive an American-size salary? Which government collects the income tax? The USA? Spain? Both? Neither?

Oregon Department of Energy Telework/Telecommuting Ensure Oregon has an adequate supply of reliable and affordable energy, and is safe from nuclear contamination, by helping Oregonians save energy, develop clean energy resources, promote renewable energy and clean up nuclear waste. Telework (also called telecommuting) is working at home or a satellite office, telework center, or telecommunity center near home one or more days a week instead of commuting to the main office or place of business. Employers around the world are using telework programs to boost productivity and reduce office and real estate costs. And because employees value the flexibility telework gives them to balance their work and home life, telework programs help employers keep valued staff and recruit qualified personnel. The Oregon Department of Energy actively promotes telework in Oregon, because it conserves fuel, relieves traffic congestion, and improves air quality and because it makes good business sense.

last updated 8.3.00 nevada city, california Welcome to the Office Odyssey! Jack in, wire up, drop out! The internet is all about freedom freedom from soft-walled cubicles, freedom from bad coffee, freedom from rules that just don't apply anymore. Why do you need to be in a corporate business park when there's a whole wide, wired world out there? The short answer is that you don't. Two years ago, I cast off my office-bound shackles, packed my life into a backpack and a laptop computer and hit the road. Since then, I've been a digital nomad, traveling around Europe and North America while working my regular job as a technical writer for a software company back in California. So, yes, I'm still in the rat race. It's just that where I'm at, there aren't any other rats. Well, except for my lovely wife, Kristanne, though I’m not sure she'd appreciate the comparison. Want to see what it's all about? Want to feel the excitement of a three hour download over a 9kbps modem connection in Sardinia? Check out the episode guide from our year-long Office Odyssey through Europe and see if there might be some Extreme Telecommuting in your future, too.

Time.com People Fortune EW A CNN.com/Career exclusive: Phoning it in Study: Telecommuting is wish, not reality By Porter Anderson CNN Career (CNN) "You could almost say telecommuting is anti-commuting," says Cynthia Morgan. "The Number 1 reason people gave for wanting to telecommute was to avoid a lengthy commute" by road, rail or otherwise. But on Monday when techies.com publishes the results of its new study on telecommuting in the information technology (IT) professions, morning drive-time radio DJs will have no reason to worry about their jobs. The results of the techies research released in an exclusive advance to CNN.com/Career indicate that even in the most tech-savvy of career arenas, telecommuting has yet to gain much traction. "With all the talk of telecommuting," says Morgan, techies.com's executive producer and vice president for content, "it's not a hugely widespread practice, even among techies. A survey like this one about telecommuting would naturally draw a high percentage of telecommuters. But we found only 48 percent of respondents saying that they actively telecommute." QUICKVOTE Let's go at this two ways. Do you telecommute and how do you feel about it?

att.com Enterprise Business Telework Home Getting Started ... Feedback You can't find a matching pair of socks; your keys have been gobbled by the couch; traffic is thick as honey and you are late for work. Does this sound like a familiar scene? If so, then try telecommuting and work from the comfort of your own home! Besides adding minutes or even hours to your valuable free time, telecommuting reduces the overall exhaust produced by automotive vehicles. As your engine burns gasoline, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and nonmethane volatile organic compounds are released into the air. While these gases are a natural result of the burning process, they can contribute to air pollution and urban smog. For instance, did you know that burning just one gallon of gasoline produces 19.64 pounds of carbon dioxide? A fossil fuel, gasoline is formed from the compressed remains of decaying plants - which are mostly carbon - over a period of thousands of years. When gasoline is burned, the carbon mixes with oxygen from the air, releasing energy to move your car. Therefore, the gas released from your exhaust pipe is the combination of both gasoline and the volume of air needed to burn it. Carbon dioxide is a natural gas and is an important part of the environment. In fact, plants need carbon dioxide to grow. But when it is produced in amounts greater than can be naturally absorbed, it builds up in the atmosphere. As a result, the atmosphere captures more heat from the sun than usual, upsetting the delicate balance of the Earth's climate.
