Telecommuting in higher education: faculty perceptions of strategic implications for traditional postsecondary institutions

International Journal of Management in Education (IJMIE), Vol. 5, No. 2/3, 2011

Abstract: The number of people telecommuting or teleworking has been increasing steadily in corporate and government organisations. Telecommuting has also seen an increase in higher education due to distance and open universities. Given the availability of technology to support online communication and collaborations, as well as both faculty and student comfort with technology, the use of telecommuting on traditional university campuses as a viable alternative to brick and mortar offices deserves analysis. This study offers a preliminary look from the faculty perspective of the requirements that should be included in the development of a comprehensive telecommuting policy in order for it to provide a competitive advantage for employee recruitment and retention.
