In order to collect the required data, 110 questionnaires concerning factors which influence adoption of teleworking collected and analyzed.

Based on the research model, factors affecting the adoption of teleworking are being investigated in seven categories using correlation and regression analysis: The attitude of the staff, teleworking infrastructures, nature of work, organizational design, social and environmental concerns, increasing capacity of employing the labor force, and staff awareness of the benefits of teleworking. The results showed that The attitude of the staff, teleworking infrastructures, social and environmental concerns, increasing capacity of employing the labor force, and staff awareness of the benefits of teleworking has a significant positive impact on the adoption of teleworking, although the nature of work and organizational design has no significant effect on the adoption of teleworking.
