Hub of Events or Splendid Isolation: The Home as a Context for Teleworking

摘要

The main question of this report concerns home-based teleworking, and how two worlds that have become separated through history--the world of work and the world of family and home--may coexist within the sphere of the home. Based on in-depth interviews, documentation of home and time-budget protocols, this report describes the situations of 22 teleworkers in Sweden, what conflicts may arise and what solutions are employed to solve problems. It also presents the results of a complementary analysis of a large, representative sample of the Swedish population. The report concludes the research project Workplace at Home.
