Abstract

eer-reviewed\nThis chapter examines the importance of “where” mobile work/life practices\noccur. By discussing excerpts of data collected through in-depth interviews\nwith mobile professionals, we focus on the importance of place for mobility, and\nhighlight the social character of place and the intrinsically social motivations of\nworkers when making decisions regarding where to move. In order to show how\nthe experience of mobility is grounded within place as a socially significant construct,\nwe concentrate on three analytical themes: place as an essential component\nof social/collaborative work, place as expressive of organizational needs and characteristics,\nand place as facilitating a blending of work/life strategies and relationships.\nACCEPTED\nPeer reviewed
