From the Paper:

"The State Department of Human Resources (DHR) seeks a way to encourage workers to telecommute. The conceptual framework of the current proposed study focuses on incentives that can be offered to encourage telecommuting. The term "incentives" refers to any factor that can be used as an enticement to affect targeted behavior change. It is believed that if incentives can be offered to the target population, these incentives would encourage more persons from among this sample population to perceive telecommuting as a desirable work environment."
