Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Engineering - Communication Technology, grade: A-, Mount Kenya University, language: English, abstract: Computer of data communication remains to be a fundamental part of both the modern systems as well as retrieval systems of their online access. The current information system has been noted to operate in an online interactive mode whereby the user has the opportunity of interacting with the host from a diverse remote location by using a communication link, unlike the conventional systems. Telecommuting or telecommunication can be categorized as an alternative type of work arrangement, whereby responsibilities or duties are carried out at an off-site location, not to mention that the employees utilize telecommunications technology to connect to the workplace. Scholars have demonstrated diverse factors behind the emergence and development of telecommuting. One of the factors is that several firms are downsizing their operations with the aim of lowering costs through reduction of the office space. Another factor is that the elevated competition from the United States and even the international scope has forced many organizations to adopt extended workdays together with flexible schedules of work so as to respond better to the needs of their customers. Furthermore, this concept has emerged due to the fact that there is an elevating affordable and cost effective development of computer and telecommunication technologies. Thus, teleworking has tremendously developed from its diffident beginnings in the early 1970s to achieve unparalleled level today and it is expected to continue expanding in the years to come. The objective of this essay is to discuss the nature of telecommuting, its impact on the individual and the organizations for which the teleworkers work along with its future development.
