Internet Usage Research Paper
Most employees today work with computers and have Internet access. They also carry smartphones and tablets to work. Should they be able to use their own devices or work computers for social media posting, online shopping, private messages, and personal work, as well as to listen to music and play games?
Your task:
Discuss the problem of workplace abuse of social media, e-mail, instant messaging, online shopping, and other Internet browsing. Should full personal use be allowed?
Are computers and their Internet access similar to other equipment such as telephones?
Should employees be allowed to access the Internet for personal use as long as they limit it to their own smart electronic devices?
Should management be allowed to monitor all Internet use?
Should employees be warned if Internet activities including e-mail are to be monitored?
What reasons can you give to support an Internet crackdown by management?
What reasons can you give to oppose an Internet crackdown by management?
What’s reasonable? Some companies (e.g., Volkswagen and Porsche) impose a zero tolerance policy, prohibiting any personal use of company equipment. Ameritech Corporation tells employees that computers and other company equipment are to be used only for business purposes. Companies such as Boeing, however, have issued guidelines allowing some personal use of e-mail and the Internet. The company strictly prohibits chain letters, obscenity, and political and religious solicitation.
Is Internet use at work harmless, or should companies crack down?
