| Abstract: | Places of work constitute processes of management by facilitating "visibility" (the possibility for supervisors and others to observe workers) and "presence" (the ability for workers to participate in relation with co-workers and others). Working at home creates problems for both these aspects of managerial control. The authors suggest that managers seek to compensate for the relative lack of visibility and presence of home-located workers by generating a range of devices and social disciplines that together comprise loose networks of control. |
