This large-scale study analyses the influence of co-ordination and trust problems on employees’ access to weekly home-based teleworking from a combined perspective of transaction-cost theory and new economic-sociology. Access is more likely when additional co-ordination and control problems are smaller. Indicators of the so-called ‘telework-risk’ are ‘time sovereignty’, ‘job autonomy’, ‘job int...

Many algorithms leverage structure to solve problems. In owshop scheduling , we study two types of structure. First, for each job, we generate processing times that are similar across all machines (job-correlated problems). Then, for each machine, we generate processing times that are similar for all the jobs (machine-correlated problems). For these types of problems, we study the innu-ence of ...
