Abstract: Enterprise mobility includes at home work often called
telecommuting. Although telecommuting has been highly touted for a number of
years, its adoption has seen varying levels of success. Earlier studies
indicated that corporate culture might be a deterrent to the acceptance of the
practice. The purpose of this research is to re-investigate the impact of
corporate culture on telecommuting. This paper reports the results of a survey
of business professionals and managers regarding perceptions of corporate
culture toward telecommuting. The main conclusion of the paper is that
corporate culture is still a deterrent to telecommuting in many organizations.
The results have implications for management, workers, and organizations moving
toward a more mobile enterprise.
