Case Study : Electronic Mailing and Ethics

Onecommunieation technology rapidly growing in popularity is e-mail, the system whereby individuals send one another messages over a computer network. The e-mail recipient can, at his'her leisure, . display the contents of his/her e~mail box (which typically lists the sender of each message ,and ; some indication of each message's  content) and then decide which of those messagesto read This  method of communication  can be extremely convenient. The sender can transmit messages whenever he/she wishes; the recipient can read messages and write responses as time allows. admitted to snooping, 74% had searched computer work files, 42% had searched electronic mail, and 15%  had searched voice mail. Why had those searches been conducted? To monitor workflow, investigate thefts, or prevent industrial espionage, some said. But, whatever the purpose, there are no legal limits placed on employers 'spying' on their employees in their workplace. They are free to view employees on closed circuit televisions, tap their telephones, search their e-mail and network communications, and rummage through their computer files with or without employee knowledge or consent, twenty four hours a day.

Georgia Jones learned this lesson the hard way. An e-mail expert, she was hired by a high-tech computer software firm in California to assist with the installation of a new e-mail system and to provide training to the company's' 350 employees concerning how that system should be used. After she had taken the job, she met with officials of the company to plan e-mail installation and training. Among the many questions she asked was, 'Will However, the privacy of such messages his become a source of some controversy. In 1993, for eg Macworld published a survey showing widespred eavesdropping by employers. Based on' responses from 301 businesses employing over 1 million, workers, the magazine estimated that as many as 20 million Americans might be subject to electronic monitoring on the job. The Macworld, survey found that more than 21 % of the  respondes had searched their employees computer files, electronic mail, voice mail, or others
networking communications. Of those whO'. employees' e-mail messages be confidential?' 'Absolutely', she was assured. During the training sessions, she repeated this information for the company's employees; she had been told that e-mail messages would be kept confidential, so employees need not worry about the information they sent to one another. A few months after the e-mail system had been installed and all employee! had been trained, two first-line supervisors were fired by management. The rumour mill said they had been fired for being 'insubordinates', and that the e-mail mess:fges they had sent one another strongly criticizng the management had somehow ended up 'in'the wrong hands'. Because she was concerned about this rumour, Georgia decided she should meet with the company's president When she entered the'president's office to keep their appointment, 'she noticed a stack of computer printouts on the credenza located along one .wall of his office; A'closer look revealed the contents of these printouts: employees' e-mail messages. When she asked; 'What are those?', the president answered, 'None of your business!'

1. If you were Georgia, what would you do?

2. What breaches of ethics, if any, occurred in this case?

3. In your opinion, should employees have the right to inspect employees' e-mail files, voice mail messages, computer files, and so on? Why or why not?

4. If you were going to develop a code of ethics to address this. issue, what rules and guidelines might you include?

Chapter 8 Motivational Needs and Processes                      285


ORGAN IZATIONAL BEHAVIOR CASE:

Tom, Dick, and f1arry


You are in charge of a small department and have three subordinates-Tom, Dick, and Harry. The key to the success of your department is to keep these employees as motivated as possible. Here is a brief summary profile on each of these subordinates.

Tom is the type of employee who is hard to figure out. His absenteeism record is much higher than average. He greatly enjoys his family (a wife and three small children) and thinks they should be central to his life. The best way to describe Tom is to say that he is kind of a throwback to the hippie generation and believes deeply in the values of that culture. As a result, the things that the company can offer him really inspire him very little. He feels that the job is simply a means of financing his family's basic needs and little else. Overall, Tom does an adequate job and is very conscientious, but all attempts to get him to do more have failed. He has charm and is friendly, but he is just not "gung-ho" for the company. H", is pretty much allowed to "do his own thing" as long as he meets the minimal standards of performance.

Dick is in many respects opposite from Tom. Like Tom, he is a likab!e guy, but unlike Tom, Dick responds well to the company's rules and compensation schemes

and has a high degree of personal loyalty to the company. The problem with Dick is that he will not do very much independently. He does well with what is assigned to him, but he is not very creative or even dependable when he is on his own. He also is a relatively shy person who is not very assertive when dealing with people outside the department. This hurts his performance to some degree because he cannot immediately sell himself or the department to other departments in the company or to topmanagement. .


Harry, on the other hand, is a very assertive person. He will work for money and would readily change jobs for more money. He really works hard for the company but expects the company also to work for him. In his present job, he feels no qualms about working a 60-hour week, if the money is there. Even though he has a family and is supporting his elderly father, he once quit a job cold when his employer didn't give' him a raise on the premise that he was already making too much. He is quite a driver. A manager at his last place of employment indicated that, although Harry did do an excellent job for the company, his personality was so intense that they were glad to get rid of him. His former boss noted that Harry just seemed to be pushing all the time. If it wasn't for more money, it was for better fringe benefits; he never s",emed satisfied.


1. Can you explain Tom's, Dick's, and Harry's motivations hy one or more of the workmotivation models discussed in this chapter?

2. Using Alderfer's ERG theory, what group of core needs seems to dominate each of these three subordinates?

3. How, if at all, would equity theory apply to the analysis of the motivations ofTom, Dick, and Harry?
