| description | Drastic development in the telecommunication and computer
technology has encouraged the computerisation of private and public
sectors in Malaysia. Advancement of this new information technology
provides new opportunities for Malaysians and encourages the government
to build an information-rich society by the year 2020. In vision 2020
development of home environment computer networking will be
emphasised. This study was conducted to determine the perception of top
managerial personnel on home office system. A total of 78 management
personnel from organisations listed in KLSE participated in this study. Data
were collected through structured mail questionnaire and analysed using SPSS ver. 7.5 (W). The findings showed that management personnel were
highly favourable towards adopting home office system. The study found a
negative and weak relationship between perception and perceivable
barriers. The assumption is that there is a basic demand and eagerness
among the organisational practitioners in adopting home office system in
their organisation. However the management need to be willing to exert
considerable effort in introducing the system in their organisations. The
present situation in their respective organisations strongly indicative that,
utilisation of information technology is fundamental for employees' personal
development and job satisfaction. This study concluded that home office
system improve their employees job satisfaction and personal development.
Therefore the management personnel should develop a policy to build a
productive virtual workforce with the consideration of the existing
perceivable barriers in order to be successful in introducing the system in
their organisations. |
