Does teleworking affect managing for results and constructive feedback? A research note

Teleworking has been extensively examined, but little is known about the relationship between teleworking and management for results and between teleworking and constructive feedback. Using data on the Internal Revenue Service from the 2011 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, this research note addresses the following questions. Are teleworkers more or less likely than non‐teleworkers to perceive they are held accountable for achieving results? Are teleworkers more or less likely than non‐teleworkers to perceive they are provided with constructive feedback? The findings reveal that teleworkers and non‐teleworkers generally reported similar levels of management for results and constructive feedback. Explanations and implications of these results are discussed, as well as avenues for further research.

The Mechanics of Responsibility in Government

Robert Garran was Premier Reid's legal and constitutional adviser at the Premiers' Conference in Melbourne in 1899. If Alfred Deakin is to be believed, while there Garran performed in classical fashion the duties of the competent administrator. Out of sight in an adjoining room, he and a financial adviser, Mr Coghlan, awaited Premier Reid who would withdraw from the conference room from time to time for consultation with his advisers. Then Reid would return 'freshly primed to reopen the debate' presumably stating the propositions with which he had been recently furnished. In later years his scholarly and incisive work on the Constitution was a source of sound advice to all those concerned to understand the workings of the organic law under which we live. I acknowledge my debt to his work and I am honoured to deliver an oration that bears his name.     

Rebel movements and proxy warfare: Uganda, Sudan and the Congo (1986-99)

Sudan and Uganda have for many years carried out an undeclaredwar. One little-known aspect of this conflict is the use ofZaire/Congo as an outside battlefield where proxy guerrillaorganizations either fought each other or fought the armiesof their sponsor’s enemy. From a small scale prior to1996, the conflict grew to occupy a major place in terms ofmen engaged and battles fought after this proxy war morphedinto the bigger ‘Congolese’ conflict which developedfrom the fall of President Mobutu and lasted until 2002.
