Moving Towards the Virtual Workplace provides the first
comprehensive overview of the many impacts of
telework/telecommuting adoption, from both a managerial and
societal perspective. This book argues that telework will be
increasingly adopted in the twenty-first century, representing a
far-reaching move toward the virtual workplace, with dramatic
implications for the management of the workforce and for society at
large. Telework, like mass production, has the potential to change
society. It permits the significant reduction of the spatial and
temporal constraints faced by the conventional organization of the
workplace. The new virtual workplace constitutes a key step in the
evolution towards a virtual society. In order to realistically
assess telework's diffusion potential, the book studies, both
conceptually and empirically, the technological, institutional,
organizational and individual-level parameters that influence the
decision to adopt telework, and the likelihood of telework's
success. The book concludes that telework can have enormous
socioeconomic impacts, both as a macro-level tool, reducing road
transport externalities, and as a managerial instrument to motivate
highly skilled workers in knowledge-based industries. As such this
fascinating book will be invaluable to scholars of management,
transport, economics and industrial and union relations. The
telework and business community, both scholarly and practical will
also find the book of great interest.
