Abstract
(en) Telework affects the spatial and temporal framework of work. Therefore, we observe a reorganisation of the conduct of work that affects the employment relationship, especially the dimension of control. This contribution illustrates the necessity to re-define the rules of control and to recast managerial practices and role. The case study conducted in a Belgian public agency indicates that a conflict of rules may occur when introducing telework, and that control tends to intensify.
