While telecommuting is becoming increasingly widespread, very little is known about how telecommuters differ from traditional office employees in their work related attitudes. The empirical literature to date has been wrought with definitional and methodological flaws, severely hindering the ability to draw any definitive conclusions. This study attempts to control for many of the confounds inherent in the literature (e.g., low power, poorly constructed samples), and adds an important methodological improvement. This will be the first known study to investigate measurement equivalence across telecommuters and non-telecommuters prior to mean difference interpretation. Given the improvements in experimental design (superior sample construction, more rigorous analysis), this book is an important contribution to the existing literature.
