| Abstract |
Many enterprises have introduced teleworking, which has been made possible by progress in information technology and increased flexibility in modes of work. However, the successful implementation of teleworking needs to recognize the issues related to the integrating of two different areas of daily life, the family and the occupation. Effective teleworking therefore requires an actively-managed balance between family and employer interests and claims. This article presents main results of a study which deals with aspects of the self-regulation and family-regulation to identify the main factors of stress and strain in the integrated work-family-system of telework. The difficulties and/or interruptions during the job are described and discussed. It is concluded that it is important to consider not only the classical aspects of work design, but also the processes of social and family regulation. |
