Telework Impact on Productivity and Wellbeing: An Australian Study

Abstract

The proliferation of collaboration and networking tools such as HipChat, Yammer, Quip, Smartsheet, Salesforce Community Cloud, mobile devices, and smartphones create multiple opportunities to work in many locations away from the traditional office. We define telework or telecommuting as a flexible work arrangement that allows people to work from any location other than the traditional office on either a temporary or regular basis (Di Martino and Wirth 1990; Maruyama, Hopkinson and James 2009).
