NICOLE B. ELLISON is an assistant professor in the Department of Telecommunication, Information Studies and Media at Michigan State University.
?[H]elpfully and clearly establishes the historical and theoretical
background of telework and its usefulness as a method of work
organization. For employers and policy-makers who view telework as
an innovative tool to help reconcile work and family life, Ellison
cogently identifies such issues as how it is used (whether a
teleworker always works at home or does so periodically), trust
between employer and worker, and the mental separation needed
between work and personal life for teleworkers as essential factors
requiring further reflection.?-International Labour Review
?While many publications about remote working arrangements focus on
the management of such efforts, this book addresses the important
aspect of social changes resulting from telecommuting....Ellison
makes a good observation about telework research being more
relevant when embedded within the cultural context of the
organization. Notes on method in each chapter. Recommended.
Graduate, research, and professional collections.?-Choice
