  7. Abstract:
  8. Since expansion of communication technology, telecommuting has gained attention from transportation planners as an approach in field of demand management. In this research, joint effects of feasibility of telecommuting for the employees of each organization and the relevant frequency of employees have been evaluated by using the copula model as the most recent conventional way of developing a joint model since the last few years. The result of telecommuting acceptance is that after presenting the project to each organization, the head employer measures the appropriateness of the project for employees and if he reaches a consensus on the success of the project, the employees get involved and use telecommuting for few days in a week, month or year. Therefore, the communication between feasibility of telecommuting for the employees and their frequency is important. In this research, the feasibility model of telecommuting is developed based on Binary logit and its frequency is obtained based on order logit. Joint model making is a statistical outcome derived from questioning 245 employees sampled from 7 government organizations in Tehran regarding different copula ancillary. At the end, after comparing the results, Frank Copula is chosen as the best copula. One of the significant results of this copula is the estimation of the copula's dependency parameter using accepted statistical significance. This parameter shows the negative correlation between unobserved factors of the two models and additionally it shows the partnership of the choices
