From Individual Privacy to Social Conundrum

You aren't just watched. You're on-screen, on a digital panopticon with a mechanical reasoning. This book examines the advancement of electronic surveillance mechanisms, its extensive application in the organizational workplace and its impacts - benefits and threats - on employees and their resistance. This socio-ethical exploration is envisioned to protect the individual and social rights of employees and to provide organizations enough scope to optimally implement pro-employee behaviours and managerial processes through an ethical treatment. "Penetrating ambiguity and considering the impact of electronic surveillance on people is what this book is doing.... it demonstrates how electronic surveillance endangers both privacy and the social well-being of employees... leads to a convincing conclusion that the practice of electronic surveillance is far from being as effective as pretended by its proponents. It also investigates the possibilities of new managerial solutions. ... recommend this book as a must for experts in business ethicists, management, and the technology of surveillance." - Johan Verstraeten
