Reducing Internet Misuse

"While technology solutions, such as monitoring and filtering software, and Internet usage policies are great deterrents to Internet misuse, the bottom line is that employees will conform to the established organizational culture."

www.internetmisuse.com is a website that has many articles about the different areas associated with internet misuse, from employee internet addiction to finding an internet policy that works well for your particular company. One article that I found particularly interesting was an article called "Create a Positive Organizational Culture to Reduce Internet Misuse". For those of you who have taken Management and Organizational Behavior you will see that many of the things talked about in that class are mentioned in this article. The article discusses employee morale, reward systems, goal setting, and leadership and how all these things can either increase or decrease employee's misuse of the internet. Take a look!
