In this developmental paper, we explore notions of control in teleworking through Lukes’ three faces of power using qualitative data collected in two large organizations committed to flexible work arrangements. Our particular interest lies in agenda setting (face 2) by management and employees as well as perception shaping (face 3) through wider societal discourses as manifested in control as a social and situated organizational practice. The analysis focuses on attempts by management and employees to discursively and symbolically control the organization and completion of telework. We establish that there is both agreement and tension between different aspects of flexible work arrangements shaped by organizational and personal agendas and supported by societal discourses.
