Title: Balancing Flexibility and Stability: The Case of and ICT-department in a Knowledge-based Consultant Company
Abstract: Teleworkers and teleworking in Swedish surveys are often limited to comprise employees that have a formal agreement with the employer to practice multilocational work, typically given the possibility to work partly from the home and partly from a central office. This conceptual limitation then excludes teleworking categories of high-skilled professional and executive occupations. These employees have become a symbol of the modern professional worker with a powerful impact on defining the norm and characteristics of modern working life. These professional employees are not seeing themselves as teleworking, although in performing their work they have many similar characteristics in relation to spatial and temporal dimensions. These professional employees are also interesting with respect to their relatively high degree of freedom at work, as an example of modern individualised work; allowing them to ‘design’ their work and working conditions according to individual preferences to a higher extent than other employees.
