Abstract: | Teleworking is often considered both employee- and employer-friendly. The article questions this view by demonstrating how it may endanger a company's knowledge base and competitive advantage due to lack of knowledge transfer between teleworkers and non-teleworkers. Based on literature on knowledge, the article presents relational and cognitive components of organizational socialization as important facilitators of knowledge transfer, and shows how teleworking might have a negative effect on these components, depending on its location, perception, and frequency. |
