  • Abstract
    In recent years, organizations have adopted new working practices for employees in order to achieve competitive advantage and to meet employee demands for better work-life balance. However, up till now, in-depth knowledge concerning the impacts of new working practices on employee work and travel behaviour is limited. Furthermore, the rapid integration of information and communication technology applications into employee work activities has posed many challenges to researchers who are attempting to measure the resulting effects. In this paper, an attempt is been made to mapped out in-depth the work and travel behaviour of two teleworking employees from two different companies using grounded theory method.
