Abstract/Summary
Since telecommuting has been a successful flexible work arrangement in the accounting industry in the US setting, the researchers wanted to test it in the Philippines. Rather than looking into the benefits it can bring to the company, the research focused on telecommuting as a work-life balance strategy that addresses certain facets of the individual accountants job satisfaction. Guided by the Social Exchange Theory and Motivator-Hygiene Theory data from the survey conducted to accountants of two auditing firms in Makati, the point -biserial correlation test and t-test reveal that telecommuting has a weak relationship to job satisfaction and is not a significant factor in determining job satisfaction. It may be deduced, therefore, that telecommuting is largely implemented by companies for work-life balance related organizational benefits than those at the individual level.
