Telework, human resource flexibility and firm performance

Abstract

The results of a survey of 156 Spanish firms indicate that HR development practices are positively associated to the intensity of telework adoption and they moderate the relationship between telework and firm performance. The positive moderator effect of HR development practices indicates that their implementation is necessary not only to facilitate telework adoption but also to enhance the otherwise marginal contribution of telework at organisational level. © 2007 The Authors Journal compilation © 2007 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
