International Journal of Services Technology and Management (IJSTM), Vol. 8, No. 2/3, 2007

Abstract: This paper analyses the differences between teleworking adopters and non-adopters in a sample of Spanish companies. The results indicate that teleworking adopters use more information and communication technologies, invest more resources in R&D, have a larger percentage of knowledge workers and salespeople in the workforce, and have a larger geographical market. The employees have greater access to the internet and electronic communication, are more trained in the use of information and communication technologies, and are more involved in their job design and planning. Regarding the business organisation, teleworking adopters use more human resource flexible practices and variable compensation, outsource more activities, and manage employees by objectives.
