To test these hypotheses, this stud

To test these hypotheses, this study used a survey in the Turkish subsidiary of an international company based in Germany. The subsidiary imports, assembles and markets medical devices. The company headquarters are located in Istanbul, and there were five other offices in Turkey. The company began implementing a carefully designed virtual office programme in 2000. Subsequently, three offices were closed. This company was believed to have implemented the first virtual office work arrangement in Turkey.

There were 100 workers in the company - 65 of them became virtual office workers and 35 of them remained as traditional office workers. Virtual office workers did not have to come to the office on a regular basis, and they were able to work at any time and anywhere they wanted.

Instrumentation

We surveyed all employees using Downs and Hazen's (1977) Communication Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ). The CSQ has proven highly reliable (r = 0.94) across many settings (Clampitt, 1981). We used the five factors from the CSQ that are most closely tied to our hypotheses:

(1) communication climate;

(2) organizational integration;

(3) personal feedback;

(4) horizontal communication; and

(5) relationship with supervisor.

An average of these factors gave us an overall score to test the overall satisfaction with communication. A complete description of these factors and their component questions is presented in the Appendix. We briefly describe the five factors we used below.
