Abstract:

Reduce emission of carbon footprint, green technology, work-life balance are some of the topics heavily discussed when the environment is concerned. The benefits of working from home (WFH), factors that trigger WFH and basic requirements for WFH to be initiated have been unearthed by many researchers and implemented by many developed countries in the world. However, the research of WFH in Malaysia is scarce and its implementation among the organizations almost unavailable even though the nation is moving towards Vision 2020. This paper attempts to explore the literature on WFH in some of the developed countries and the topic of WFH in Malaysian scenario is discussed by proposing a framework for future research to be carried out by Malaysian organizations.
