Paper Summary:
This paper looks at how in today's workplaces, issues of ethics and excessive (and/or unethical) technology are each key considerations in the area of organizational behavior for managers, employees, and others. It discusses how issues of workplace ethics, including technological ethics, will likely continue to cause stress, moreover, as narrower definitions of workplace privacy continue to emerge.From the Paper:
" It is simply too easy in today's world for technologies to become ubiquitous at work and home, blurring the line between work and time off. At one time, workers at the end of their day simply walked away from their desks, files, typewriters, telephones, etc., and returned the next morning. Now, with cell phones; e-mail; fax machines; pagers; text-messages, etc., one's work environment intrudes regularly on home life and other time away from the workplace. Increasingly, anxious workers even bring laptop computers on vacation, in order to "check in" when away. Laptop computers permit workers, literally, to take their offices home (or to doctor's offices; waiting rooms; airports, etc.). "Sample of Sources Used:
