Summary:	In recent years, organizations have adopted new working practices for employees in order to achieve competitive advantage and to meet employee demands for better work-life balance. However, up till now, in-depth knowledge concerning the impacts of new working practices on employee work and travel behaviour is limited.

In this paper, an attempt is been made to mapped out in-depth the work and travel behaviour of two teleworking employees from two different companies using grounded theory method.
