- Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to determine the factors that affect the willingness of employees to adapt to telecommuting and determine the feasibility of implementing this in Mexican organizations. A sample of 384 employees from different companies established in Guadalajara City was used to analyze the perception of attitudes, capabilities, and advantages of performing their tasks from home. The results show that participants agreed on the time they would be willing to work from home, as well as the wages, capabilities, skills that employees should have to be able to develop telecommuting and the advantages that this scheme would represent. There is a great concern about this scheme among employees since they agree that telecommuting should be applied to company managers and not for subordinates. The topic is emerging in companies and there is currently a great opportunity to implement telecommuting. SMEs use flexible work practices and there is a possibility that it can be advantageous all members of the organization.
