The second category of work teams that continued work as usual can be classified as a control group in the context of the ROWE intervention. Control groups are the ones that do not receive the experimental treatment in a research study but are used to compare the effects of the treatment on the experimental group. In this case, the control group provides a baseline against which the impact of the Results-Oriented Work Environment can be measured.
