A Cross-Cultural View Towards The Ethical Dimensions Of Electronic Monitoring Of Employees: Does Gender Make A Difference?

Abstract

This manuscript presents the results of a study which examined the ethical dimensions of electronic monitoring of employees from a cross-cultural perspective comparing participants from Taiwan with those from the United States. The results of the study suggest that gender differences exist between Taiwanese and American participants’ attitudes concerning the ethics of electronic monitoring of employees. The study suggests that monitoring with notice was an important parameter in determining how ethical electronic monitoring of employees was viewed by the respondents.
