PEREIRA JUNIOR, Edgar  y  CAETANO, Maria Elisabeth Salvador. The telework implications: a study about the perception of workers in a metropolitan region. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2009, vol.9, n.2, pp.22-31. ISSN 1984-6657.

This study searched to indentify the perceptions of workers, conventional and teleworkers, by using questionnaires about the implications of the Telework, a way of production without presence in organizations, in a metropolitan region of São Paulo state. The research indicated that, in teleworkers perspective, results and productivity improved; they understood as positive, the manager and family assessments about their work condition; and considered themselves satisfied being a teleworker and as good / great their work-life balance. On the other hand, conventional workers recognized the benefits of Telework, but were little interested in migrating to it; also disagreeing about the difficulties of being a teleworker and the necessary skills to be one. The psychological and social implications in consequence of excessive work and the social isolation, even that these factors had been recognized by all participants, were minimized by practitioners, suggesting that the Telework might reveal consequences not yet identified, including for those approving it nowadays
