Opportunities for Workplace Deviance
Cyber technology has created more opportunities for workplace deviance because employees now have easier access to company systems, data, and communication tools. For example, workers might misuse company computers for personal activities, share confidential information, or access files they shouldn’t. The internet and digital systems can also make it easier for people to hide their actions or feel anonymous, which may encourage unethical behavior. Technology can also make it easier for organizations to monitor activity through security systems, logs, and tracking software. Because of this, companies need strong cybersecurity policies and employee training to reduce the chances of workplace deviance.
