  • 1.  Research and Instruments on Suitability to Telework/Work Remotely

    Posted 07-06-2011 12:28

    All-

     

    My apologies for cross-postings.  We are currently working with an organization who will have a large contingent of remote workers.  I am looking for research that explores the suitability of certain characteristics (behavioral or personality-based) that have been linked with high performance in a remote or virtual workforce context.  If anyone happens to know of an inventory that has been used in this type of research, I would be very interested to read up on it.

     

    Thanks in advance for your help-

    Gretchen

    Hi

    I think maybe you can start exploring these papers, and them see how
    has cited them:

    Gajendran, R. S., & Harrison, D. A. (2007). The good, the bad, and the
    unknown about telecommuting: Meta-analysis of psychological mediators
    and individual consequences. Journal of Applied Psychology, 92(6),
    1524-1541.


    Golden, T. D., & Veiga, J. F. (2005). The impact of extent of
    telecommuting on job satisfaction: Resolving inconsistent findings.
    Journal of Management, 31(2), 301-318.

    Gretchen,

    May I also suggest:
