The Common Challenges to the Successful Implementation of SmartWork Program

Abstract

Smart Work as a new job organization paradigm for companies and employees has greatly increased in both popularity and use in recent years. Smart Work is a new way of working and living way that is not fixed in terms of time or location. It involves working from home or nearly anywhere, enabled by an increased reliance upon mobile based telecommunication technologies to conduct work activities. Despite the increased use of Smart Work in some organizations and the continued efforts by government, the reality is that barriers to the implementation of Smart Work have remained relatively consistent over time. Based on a literature review of research in Smart Work, this paper identifies these potential challenges faced by companies to developing and implementing a successful Smart Work program
