Abstract

Telework is a major phenomenon of the information society. It refers to work being done independently of time and place, still often in an employment relationship with an organization, and heavily supported by modern information and communication technology. Telework can also be identified in terms such as e-work and distance work or telecommuting, in general telework is a part of the virtual organization metaphor. Telework, through its liberty from place and time specificity or performing work, is a major change agent leading us towards a new information and knowledge society. It is expected to bring in productivity, better output quality and employee, employer and customer satisfaction. A better utilization of human resources can be expected, as through telework employees can work to many organizations, so sharing and also strengthening their professional skills and status.
