Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents an exploratory analysis of teleworking in Australia. A number of changing patterns of teleworking in Australia are identified from perspectives of age group, educational level and gender, and the underlying causes for such changes are discussed. A strong correlation between the number of teleworkers and the number of households with computers and Internet access is identified. This facilitates the use of linear regression modeling for forecasting the number of teleworkers in Australia using both the number of households with computers and Internet access. The findings and the subsequent predictions are of practical significance to the individual organisations and government policy makers on how to effectively embrace the phenomenon of teleworking in Australia. |
