Online Home Based Jobs
Chapter 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Rationale of the Study
The demand of home-based online jobs is high. It is becoming the ideal choice of many because it is simple and that anyone can take advantage of. Some people think that home-based online jobs are impossible and all they see about home-based online jobs is nothing more than a scam system. There are a lot of home-based online workers these days who have paved the way for attaining positions.
According to Ryan (2009), there are advantages and disadvantages in working online. The main advantage is that you will be able to do the jobs sitting anywhere in the world. You will simply need to have an internet connection and a computer in working condition. You will be the boss and you will be able to decide your working hours as you please. For the disadvantages, during the initial stages, the money flow might be good. However, just because you make a few hundred dollars more does not necessarily mean that more work will be available in the coming days.
Whatever be the disadvantages of online jobs, there are still honest people out there, making a comfortable living doing such work. Risk factor is there, but it has always been there, so you will have to take the risks and must be willing to work under pressure. Deadlines have to be kept and maintained at all times and you must ensure that the job is completed and submitted before the deadline as cited by Ryan (2009). Hence, Leonard and Thorns (2006) provided good comment in the effectiveness of people who are employed on-line, disregarding income and time stated.
As Leonard and Thorns (2006) pointed out, more people are increasingly employed on-line due to its effectiveness on on-line service communication. The reason for conducting this study is to know the fast-growing advancement of computer technology in Asia, specifically in the Philippines to know if it provides for the betterment of jobs for on-line workers.
