Teleworking has received increased attention around the world as a means to provide more balanced lifestyles, higher job satisfaction and increased work productivity. This study examines the factorial dimensions and differential effects of gender on the perceptions of advantages and disadvantages of teleworking to individuals and to organizations. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey of IT professionals. Results showed that males perceived teleworking as enabling improvement in the quality of life and improvement in productivity/reduction of overheads to a greater extent than females. Implications of the results are discussed
