Evolving Trends in Virtual Working: A Comparative Study of OPM's 2001 Survey and 2010 Replication

This study delves into the relevance of OPM's 2001 survey on virtual working by replicating and examining the results and themes in 2010. The research focuses on virtual office dynamics, employee cooperation from different locations, and the impact of teleworking on productivity and stress levels. Key findings highlight management adaptability, self-motivated employees, and the importance of clear communication. The study sheds light on the evolution of virtual work environments and the benefits they offer in recruitment and retention. Leadership skills in building trust and relationships, as well as the significance of ongoing education, are emphasized. This research presents insights from various fields including policy analysis, public administration, and organizational development, shaped by experiences from Ex-MPA courses. Acknowledgments go to contributors such as Debbie Turnbull, Rich Connor, Dr. Ingle, Professor Jill Nemiro, and the ExMPA community for their support and insights into the world of virtual work.
