Abstract:
Tele-working has become a common mode of work in the West. However, in the Middle East this mode of work it is still not very well recognized, noting there are the right resources available that could allow it to flourish. A quantitative study was implemented on a sample of 214 participants to identify the various demographic variables that could affect the willingness to tele-work. Different demographics, such as age, distance to work, gender, marital status, having children, and age, were investigated using a survey. The survey included 35 questions to test 7 hypotheses. IBM SPSS 24.0 was used as an analytical tool, at the significance of 0.05, to run t-tests and p-tests. These tests were then used to measure the margin of error and the magnitude of the relations between the variables. The results generated showed no statistical significance between demographics and the willingness to tele-work. Hence, demographics do not affect the willingness to tele-work in the Middle East.
