摘要
This study compares the findings of the literature on teleworking stereotypes with a case study of a teleworking venture. The study took the form of structured interviews with eight teleworkers, some home based and others working from an office. The study gives support to the suggestion that the majority of homeworkers are married women with childcare responsibilities, who are not interested in promotion. It does not agree, however, with the claim that isolation is a major problem for homeworkers and it suggests that teleworkers may not be the homogeneous group commentators often describe.
