This study investigates the relationship between attitudes toward the introduction of teleworking and seven components of organizational culture: digital acceptance, latitude, openness, creativity, global mind, sympathy, ideologization. The Korean companies we study equiped their managers, professionals and salespeople with advanced computer-based technologies for the introduction of teleworking. Besides the aspects of economy and productivity, this study focuses on organizational culture and employees` attitudes with respect to the introduction of teleworks. The introduction of teleworking requires more self-organized and self-motivated support from employees. The rapid change of working life and with it new forms of work like teleworking not only gain in attractiveness, but also they are increasingly offered to people who, are not yet ready for the new message. The relationship between attitudes toward the introducing teleworks and components of organizational culture was tested through correlation analysis. Digital acceptance, global mind, openness, creativity and ideologization correlates positively with positive attitudes toward the introduction of teleworking. Telework may be accepted by many companies, but many respondents of this study are resistant to the idea of invisible employees, even if productivity does shoot up in many cases. Telework in particular is associated with high hopes, yet hardly anyone today knows exactly what future work with a large proportion of teleworkers will look like or ought to look like.
