Dear Denise (and averyone placing a request on the OB Net),
Please post your own e-mail when requesting such material - people can respond directly to you, and then you can later post one summary for all concerned. The way you requested the knwledge means that anyone who wish to answer you will send it (like I do) to all the network - flooding the e-mail boxs of OBNeters with material that is not relevant to many of them.
As for the specific question:
In my 2001 paper I indicated that teleworkers/telecommuters may feel that 'out of sight is out of mind' when it comes to promotional decision making.
In my 2000 paper I have pointed out that career aspirations of teleworkers would tend to be lower than the career aspirations of their counterparts (Baruch, 2000).

Subject: [OB-LIST] Working remotely
A colleague just asked me the following question, and I didn't know of any research on the topic. Anyone have any leads?
"Are you aware of any research suggesting that people who work remotely are more likely to be laid off than people who are in the office?"
Thanks,
Denise
