Potential benefits for academics
1. Greater autonomy, more flexibility in work schedule
2. Better balance between personal, family, and work life for some
3. Higher perceived productivity and quality of work
4. Comfortable work environment at home for some
5. Opportunity to take advantage of the geographic location where they reside to conduct research (Yick et al., 2005) and to provide services to those communities
Potential drawbacks for academics
1. Increased family-work role conflicts for some
2. Lower perceived personal growth and career advancement for some, particularly among new faculty members
3. Professional and social isolation for some; lower collegiality and sense of belonging
4. Over-working because of lack of separation between the work and family domains
5. Inadequate work environment at home for some; occupational and health issues; costs in running the home office
Opportunities for the institution
1. The ability to recruit employees from a wider geographic area and employees with certain constraints – e.g., disabilities, family responsibilities, spousal employment
2. Better retention of competent staff
3. Other broader strategic planning issues for the institution – e.g., real estates, equipment, and other costs, disaster and emergency management, and usage efficiency of information system proposed in the literature (Pinsonneault and Boisvert, 1996) are not considered in this paper, but are worth examining in future research
Challenges for the institution
1. Monitoring and evaluating performance based on results rather than physical presence or visibility
2. Ensuring adequate and appropriate information and telecommunication technologies are equipped in home offices, and effective training and support are provided
3. Ensuring telecommuting academics have an adequate, safe and healthy work environment at home
4. Providing space for research to those academics with specific spatial needs – e.g., laboratories
5. Creating team synergy, transmitting organization culture, and promoting a feeling of belonging to the institution, especially among new faculty members
6. Retaining competent staff and competing with traditional institutions for academics experienced or interested in online teaching as post-secondary institutions anticipate a faculty shortage in the near future.
