A Paper Presented At: The Association of South East Asian Institutions of Higher Learning (ASAIHL) Conference On The Role of Universities in a Knowledge Driven Economy Manila, Philippines December 2-4, 2001.
ABSTRACT Work-life balance, enhancing mental health, creativity and productivity ensures that people treat work as an aspect of life. Industry and commerce have addressed this issue, through gendered initiatives such as mummy tracks and paternity leave, and technology-enhanced solutions. New and emerging patterns of work, embracing the concept of the virtual office, incorporate: teleworking; televillages; and relay stations. These emerging trends of flexible working necessitate the establishment of caves, commons, cottaging, guesting, and just-in-time-offices, to facilitate individual and organisational needs. Higher Education is well placed to make a profound contribution to this cause. This, paper, questioning its contribution, explores technology supported Distance Education Initiatives of UK Higher Education Establishments. It uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative research techniques to empirically analyse the specifics of these initiatives, the extent of their demand and degree of success. Theoretical exploration incorporates a distinction between organisational flexibility, workforce flexibility and flexible working.
