Employees' opportunities, preferences, and practices in telecommuting adoption

This study uses three separate models for the opportunity, preference, and practice of telecommuting to analyze employee telecommuting adoption. Explanatory clusters relate to organizational, job, household, and individual characteristics derived from the combined insights from literature on telework management and employees telecommuting decisions and behavior. Data was collected from 849 employees using a personal computer at the workplace, selected from a representative sample of the Dutch labor force. Multivariate analyses were applied. Opportunity largely depended on organizational and job characteristics. Preference was dependent on all explanatory clusters. Practice was especially dependent on job and individual characteristics.
