Work at Home. Analysis of Telework as a Phenomenon
Bierzová, Jana ; Křížková, Alena (advisor) ; Kuchař, Pavel (referee)
Home based work is one of the new trends in the contemporary labour market. The thesis theoretically examines its status in West European societies and empirically concerns the situation in the Czech Republic. Teleworking creates new possibilities for balancing work and life. Flexible working hours give employees greater freedom to work and manage their lives. They may spend more time with their families, easily com bine their work with free-time activities or studying, or choose a different lifestyle. Home-based work is linked to some disadvantages on the labour market and in the private life as well. Flexible work arrangements, including telework, are often characterized by risky and insecure forms of contracts, longer working hours, work even in the days of illness or vacation etc. It may cause insecurities and inconveniences for the workers. Different problem s are tied to the dichotomy of the public and private spheres and the boundary between them. Teleworkers experience difficulties to set the border line between these two realms, otherwise they are bound and interconnected too tight with each other and the work may interfere with the private and family time.
