  abstract	= { The aim of this study is to analyse the effects that
		  part-time telecommuting from home will have on office
		  workers' physical and psychosocial work environment, at
		  home and at the ordinary workplace, as well as on their
		  general well being. Twenty-eight employees from two
		  organizations were followed for a 2-year period. Diaries,
		  interviews, and expert evaluation were used to collect
		  data. Participants experienced part-time (1-2 days per
		  week) telework from home as being helpful in obtaining a
		  balance between work and leisure time, and in being more
		  effective in their work. The participants worked more hours
		  at home, worked long hours without breaks, and worked late
		  at night and on the weekends at home. The workstation was
		  seldom as good ergonomically at home as at the office. All
		  the respondents experienced problems with the computer
		  equipment and computer system.
		  
		  Conclusions: Introducing telework can enhance work
		  effectiveness; however, it can also result in both an
		  increase in workload and various work-related health risks.
