To  support  this  development  companies  in Malaysia  have  to  prepare  themselves  toward  virtual  organization by  implementing telecommuting  as  a  tool.  In  other  words  companies  in  Malaysia  are  expected  to  play  vies role  for  this  task.  The  researchers  argue  that  telecommuting  offers  significant  benefits  to employers,  employees,  but  there  no  such  research  on  employer  intention  (companies),  are they  willing  to  implement  telecommuting?  This  research  is  very  important  in  predicting employer  intention  to  telecommute.  Thus,  the  purpose  of  this  study  was  to  explore  the employer  intention  to  implement  telecommuting  in  companies  in  Kuantan-Pahang,  by looking  at  the  factors  that  affect  the  employer  intentions  to  implement  telecommuting  in their companies. Understanding the nature of these factors may assist companies in Malaysia to  promote  telecommuting  as  an  alternative  work.  A  survey  was  conducted  using  a structured questionnaire which distributed to 60 private companies. The result was indicated that the level of intention to telecommute was relatively high. Moreover the results showed employer  attitudes  toward  telecommuting,  pressure  to use  telecommuting,  and  perceived behavioural  control  are  important  factors  in predicting  employer  intentions  to  implement telecommuting.  The  results  also  found  that  productivity  and  operating  cost  were  not influenced  the  employer  intention  to  implement  telecommuting.  Furthermore,  it  was  found that  attitude;  subjective  norms  and  perceived  behavioural  control  were  not  mediated  the relationship  between  productivity,  operating  cost  and  employer  intention  to  implement telecommuting. Theory of planned behaviour (TPB) is the model widely used to discuss the effect of these antecedents in behavioural intention. An extension of employer intention with  TPB  would  be  in  more  comprehensive  manner  to  understand  behavioural  intention  to telecommute. 0aTelecommuting 0aTelecommutingxMalaysia 0aPersonnel management40uhttp://ecollib.ump.edu.my/3646/zLibrary access only  00102lcc4071a10000b10000d2019-09-04l0oHD2336.35.M3 M87 2012 rs Thesisp0000065908r2019-09-04 00:00:00t1w2019-09-04yTHESIS  00102lcc4071a10000b10000d2019-09-04l0oCD 6148 | HD2336.35.M3 M87 2012 rs Thesisp0000065909r2019-09-04 00:00:00t1w2019-09-04yTHESIS  aVIRTUA40c3320d3326  aVTLSSORT0080*0200*0400*0900*1000*2450*2600*3000*5020*5040*5200*6500*6501*6502*8560*9992
