  • HICSS - Influences of different ethical issues on ethical decision-making in an IT context
    37th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences 2004. Proceedings of the, 2004
    Co-Authors: R. Haines, L.n.k. Leonard
    Abstract:

    This paper reports the results of a laboratory experiment involving the discussion of ethical scenarios. Groups discussed five ethical scenarios centered on the use of information technology, involving issues of privacy, intellectual property, use of Company Equipment for non-work activities, and modification of Company software for personal gain. Data were collected via questionnaire before and after the discussion. The results show that ethical decision making processes vary by scenario, with perceived importance of an ethical issue and moral obligation to act being strong, but not all-inclusive influences on the link between attitude toward questionable behavior and intention to engage in the behavior. The results are discussed in the context of several models of ethical decision-making and suggestions are given for future research. Managers are advised on how to limit unethical behavior.

  • Ethical Implications of Employee Monitoring: What Leaders Should to Consider!
    The journal of applied management and entrepreneurship, 2003
    Co-Authors: Bahaudin G. Mujtaba
    Abstract:

    Executive Summary Employee monitoring, due to the increase in cyberloafing and lawsuits, has become more widespread and much easier with the use of new and cheaper technologies. Both employers and employees are concerned with the ethical implications of constant monitoring. While employers use monitoring devices to keep track of their employees' actions and productivity, their employees feel that too much monitoring is an invasion of their privacy. Thus, the ethics of monitoring employees is explored and current practices are discussed. This document further provides suggestions for reducing cyberloafing and encourages institution's to create and effectively communicate ethical standards for employee monitoring in their firms. The author has included actual samples of employees' perceptions and feelings from the surveys and discussions on being monitored. The Ethics of Employee Monitoring: What You Need to Know! Employee monitoring has emerged as a necessity and yet as a very controversial issue due to the complexity and widespread use of technology. Employee monitoring is the act of watching and monitoring employees' actions during working hours using employer Equipment/property (Raposa & Mujtaba, 2003). Employers are concerned with proper employee behavior and Code of Conduct compliance in relation to their industries and related organizations. While more and more employers are using monitoring devices to check or keep track of their employees' actions, some employees feel that too much monitoring is an invasion of their privacy. Many employees are anxious about the status of their stocks and/or the safety of their family members around the world since the attacks of September 11, 2001 on the Twin Towers in New York City and feel obligated to watch the latest news on the Internet while on the job. While exceptional circumstances can be tolerated by the employers, they also feel that excess use of the Internet for non-job related activities while on the job can be destructive for their firm. The Orlando Sentinel (1999) stated that cost for employees surfing the Internet, during work hours using Company Equipment and time, in large industries could be as much as one billion dollars each year. Thus, the ethics of monitoring employees is explored and ethical dimensions of this issue are presented in order to provide a full picture of this practice. Furthermore, throughout the document there are discussions about future evolvement of employee monitoring with the emergence of new technology. Webster's Illustrated Contemporary Dictionary states the definition of ethics as the basic principles of right actions. Values are things regarded as desirable, worthy, or right, as a belief or an ideal. Morals pertain to character and behavior from society's view of right and wrong. A belief is the acceptance of something as real or actual. Ethics can also be the decision making of actions based on a set of values, morals, and beliefs that a person possesses. This document highlights a corporation's need for ethical standards, the application of those standards, the ethical treatment of its stakeholders (employees, customers, and/or suppliers), and the impact of the law on employee monitoring. Why is employee monitoring an emerging ethical issue? It is an ethical issue due to the emergence and introduction of new technology available to both employees and employers that can be misused and abused. The Emergence of New Technology and Explosion of the Internet Lim (2002) mentioned that, "anecdotal evidence suggests that the Internet is a double-edged sword which companies should deploy freely to employees with caution." While Internet is the best thing that has happened since "sliced bread", it is also the biggest international playground for adults of all hobbies. A survey of 1,000 American workers revealed that 64% of those with Internet access tend to use it for personal interests during working hours. …
