This is an excerpt from the paper...
The recent increase in fuel prices reinvigorated the discussion about alternative ways for workers to perform their tasks without having to drive, or use public transportation, to get to their work site. Knowledge workers have a distinct advantage over workers in manufacturing jobs in that they can work remotely requiring only a reliable Internet connection and a computer. While telecommuting, or telework, has obvious advantages for employees, employers have been somewhat more reluctant to embrace it as a viable strategy. This research considers some of the issues associated with telework. Knowledge workers who have specific tasks to perform or projects to complete may well be able to do so remotely. Often, they can accomplish their tasks with just a personal computer and an Internet connection. By using telework, the employee completes the same tasks remotely as would be completed in the central office. Technology is also making it possible to conduct meetings via the Internet using Web cameras or, in less sophisticated environments, through the use of teleconferencing (Arnfalk et al, n.p.). Employees tend to like this option because it enables them to avoid the stress and costs associated with commuting and it reduces their travel time.
