Abstract: The world in which we are functioning is changing. Modern concepts and methods of competition are emerging all over the world. Many enterprises make widespread utilization of information and communications technology (ICT) to operate business. ICT is changing not only the transactional aspects of business, but also the organizational aspects, allowing virtual work or the creation of virtual companies. ICT is a big challenge for each of these areas, which results in a big impact of these changes on teleworking. The adopting process of all developments in business organizations have direct outcomes for the potential number of teleworkers. An increasing number of employees are working outside of traditional on-site work environments in locations tied electronically, i.e. virtually to a central office. The research object is teleworking practice that has become an increasingly important employment tool for fulfilling key business needs. The objective of the study is to investigate and critically analyze to what extent a traditional paradigm of business meets the modern conditions of a contemporary organization. Collected internet survey results were processed, the positive and negative impacts of telecommuting on both organizations and employees are identified, in addition, the study also focuses on teleworking in emerging markets and to what extent it may contribute to or challenge their growth.
