Dear authors,

We have reached a decision regarding your submission to Jurnal Bisnis dan Manajemen, "HOW LEADERS ADOPT INNOVATION ON TELECOMMUTING WORK DESIGN IN SERVICE INDUSTRY SECTOR".

Our decision is: Revisions Required

Reviewer General Comments:
Basically, the concept of telecommuting has been known for a long time but I believe study considering the implementation of telecommuting in several organizations or companies is still relatively rare. Therefore, it is an important and interesting to do research in such area. Research on how leaders adopt innovation in telecommuting work designs can be observed as still rarely done and even new, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia.

Regarding your research some questions need clarification:  (1) Why the informants with the position as leader is only one person? Is it representative? (2) Why the informants from non leader such as employees are also involved? While in accordance with the topic and its purpose is to clarify how leaders adopt the innovation of telecommuting work design.

I think this research will be more adequate if the respondents or informants are limited to leaders only, with more than one person, who in their position is directly related to telecommuting process and come from several companies.

 

Reviewer Specific Comments:

    Research questions in this paper are still not clear yet. Whether the problem is about the telecommuting process? Decision making in adopting innovations in telecommuting? Or regarding telecommuting work design?
    It should be explained more clear regarding the shortcoming of the previous research to strengthen your research either from the perspective of a conceptual model or from the research method.
    In what aspects Rogers (1981) corrects the concept of classical decision making process?
    The limitations of this study have not been stated.
    Refer to the Table 1, wouldn’t be more relevant if the author explained the difference between this study and previous study, so that your research gap become clear.
