An emerging distributed work arrangement: an investigation of computer-basedsupplemental work at home
Article Abstract:
The influence of information technology on the performance of supplemental work at home is studied. Supplemental work involvesemployees doing job-related tasks at home during the evenings and on weekends. Determinants of supplemental work behavior, which include organization/work, information technology and household factors, were analyzed and an empirical study was performed using information from 346 computer owners and 104 non-owners. Results show that computer owners have twice as much supplemental work hours per week compared to non-owers. The performance of supplemental workis positively related to work self-determination variables, work portability, the existence of telecommunications links between the office and home and household income, while negatively related to commuting time and the presence of children at home.

Data should provide information on purchase recency, frequency and volume. System implementation should consider such factors as privacy and applicability of the technology.
