[Air-l] Psychological impact of telework

['Gail Taylor]

There is a growing body of literature on this topic in the business and health sciences, as well as social sciences. Here are a few references for articles that present some interesting perspectives on related issues. These articles can be located, and accessed, using the EBSCO Academic Premier database. I primarily use this database to locate articles reporting research that has been conducted on workplace employer and employee practices. If you don't have access to this database, articles can also be located using the Google Scholar search engine.
