Is it ethical if a manager keeps an eye on an employee who whiles away considerable part of his working hours in the cafeteria either chitchatting with his girl friend or reading his favorite novel while munching a large chuck of Pizza? No one with common sense will perhaps object saying it is unethical. If so, monitoring employee's Internet use in the workplace is also quite ethical.
Organizations must discover the power of Internet in business development. Internet use in the corporate world is essential in product research, transactions, communication within the workforce and offices, training purposes, as well as market survey. To hit the nail on the head, Internet use is so critical that any organization that does not make the use of this technological development may miss out the benefits of modern corporate world. The application of Internet technology in an organization needs to be planned for, before the companies indulge in its use. Corporate businesses have restricted the use of Internet to main departments and limited personnel due to the perceived immoral ethical behaviors that arise from its uncontrolled use.
