Teleworking in the National Library and Archives of Iran: Teleworkers’ attitudes

Abstract

This research aimed at investigating the attitudes of teleworkers in the National Library and Archives of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the regulations, benefits, and drawbacks of teleworking. For this purpose, a self-administered questionnaire consisting of demographic information was used, as well as close-ended and some open-ended questions. The findings indicated that despite some problems such as the low speed of the Internet, excessive workload, inflexibility of work time, and some ambiguities in regulations, all of the teleworkers intended to continue to telework. So, it is concluded that the benefits of teleworking outweigh its drawbacks in the National Library and Archives of Iran.
