Abstract | New forms of work organisation such as telework, and more recently virtual teams and network organisations, suggest that distance work relationships will become increasingly widespread in the future. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to theory development in this relatively new area of study. The focus of this thesis is on the exploration of teleworker – manager work relationships in telework settings. A framework for exploring work relationships in telework settings was developed from the organisational behaviour and telework literature. This framework guided the design of the study and the analysis of the interview data. Interviews were conducted with six teleworker – manager sets in four different organisations in Australia. Unique stories from each of the cases have been compiled from the perspective of the teleworker and the perspective of the manager. An analysis of each of the teleworker – manager work relationships was undertaken using the concepts from the framework. The findings from the analysis have been used to develop grounded theory on teleworker – manager work relationships in telework settings. |
