Human Resources Management For Teleworkers
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to explore the suggestions and expectations of telecommuters and non-telecommuters for human resources management and other leaders. Analysing data from 21 in-depth qualitative interviews according to grounded theory, 2 main themes are identified as: expectations before the initiation of telecommuting and expectations after the initiation of telecommuting. Respondents’ intimate and detailed descriptions of their expectations as telecommuters are coded under the main themes and the conceptual model is developed and suggestions are presented. The findings of the study are expected to be a guide for human resources management to apply successful teleworking programs and to give a deep understanding of the experiences, challenges and needs of telecommuters so as to give feedback about what to do and how to do the implementions both before and after the adoption of this new way of working.
