Determinants of commuting time and its impact on work and personal domains: a study measuring perception of officers in defence CPSEs

Commuting can be better understood in terms of time spent from home-to-work and from work-to-home on a daily basis. Although many studies have analyzed commuting time, the impact of daily commuting time on work and personal domains has been narrowly studied. The perception of officers towards commuting was also studied. The paper also identified the relationship between commuting time and various demographic variables. The sample consists of 338 officers at various managerial levels working in defense CPSEs (Central Public Sector Enterprises). Among the various findings, it is noted that commuting time was significant and positive predictor of personal arena and personal arena was predicted by simultaneous regression of commuting time and work. The travel time with respect to demographic variables showed numerous contradictory results as opposed to other studies.
