From the Paper:

"At the organizational level, Handy says that employee motivation and loyalty will have to be approached in an entirely different way in the virtual organization. In the traditional workplace, the worker was a hired hand, a human resource, employed to work the assets of the organization. Good pay, good prospects, and a challenging job were enough for most . Handy argues that this has changed, and the human resource in a virtual office, in an information age, becomes one of the most valuable assets of an organization. As such, it becomes increasingly important, and also increasingly problematic, to obtain the loyalty of workers."
