Relationships between Telecommuting Workers and Their Managers: An Exploratory Study.

Reinsch, N. Lamar, Jr.

Journal of Business Communication, v34 n4 p343-69 Oct 1997

Finds that telecommuters, in interviews, consistently reported that telecommuting had been a success with few disadvantages, whereas questionnaire results suggest that the relationship between the telecommuter and his or her manager may deteriorate after an initial "honeymoon" phase has passed. Suggests that age and sex may affect a telecommuter's relationship with his or her manager. (SR)
