The purpose of this exploratory qualitative study was to understand the perceptions of telecommuting employees regarding the effectiveness of e-mentoring to promote self-efficacy. Case study method was used. Participants in the study consisted of four telecommuters (two women and two men). Data were collected via semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The analysis revealed five themes: Relationships, The Downside, Work Effectiveness and Self-Efficacy, Life, and Logistics. The theme, Relationships, stood out as the most counted among the interviews. The findings showed, from the perceptions of the participants, that the most effective way to promote self-efficacy among telecommuters was maintaining strong relationships between the e-mentor, telecommuter, management, and the families of telecommuters. This could be achieved by reliable video conferencing and occasional face-to-face meetings with mentors and managers. The study findings can benefit those who do work remotely and their families, by giving them data regarding how to be more effective in their jobs while maintaining a more stable work-life balance. Findings would also benefit organizations that wish to maintain a remote workforce by informing them how to make a telecommuting arrangement work using e-mentoring. Corporations could benefit by recognizing the competitive and cost advantages of maintaining a remote workforce. Future researchers might add to the body of knowledge by conducting a quantitative study to see if a correlation exists between e-mentoring and self-efficacy. Future researchers might also expand to a global study checking include demographic data.
