Resumo: | Working life is increasingly characterized by strong tendencies towards control and surveillance of employees. To control and monitor employees, employers may take diverse surveillance instruments into consideration: examples may be time-tracking and access control systems, e-supported systems like chip cards, RFID (radio-frequency identification) chips, human implants, various biometric systems, computer surveillance, network monitoring software, GPS tracking, telecommunication, visual and Internet monitoring, as well as surveillance of detective agencies. Reasons for employers to monitor employees’ behavior are manifold: from an avoidance of malicious insider threats, the prevention of image damage, increased productivity, and through to reduced costs. This work starts with a fictive story of an employee, followed by a short presentation of surrounding viewpoints of organizational control and surveillance. The main part of the paper focuses on an analysis of currently used monitoring instruments and the Austrian legal framework of employee surveillance and related privacy issues. |

Para controlar e monitorar os empregados, os empregadores podem ter diversos instrumentos de vigilância em consideração: exemplos podem ser os sistemas de controle de tempo e controle de acesso e sistemas electrónicos, como cartões com chip, chipes RFID (identificação por radiofrequência), implantes humanos, vários sistemas biométricos, vigilância de computador, software de monitoramento de rede, controle por GPS, telecomunicações, monitorização visual e Internet, bem como a vigilância de agências de detetives. As razões para os empregadores monitorarem o comportamento dos funcionários são múltiplas: desde prevenirem ameaças internas, a prevenção de danos de imagem, aumento da produtividade e redução de custos. Este trabalho começa com uma história fictícia de um empregado, seguida de uma breve apresentação de pontos de vista em torno do controle organizacional e vigilância. A parte principal do trabalho centra-se na análise dos instrumentos de monitoramento utilizados atualmente e do quadro legal austríaco de vigilância empregado e questões de privacidade relacionadas.University of Algarve2013-05-29info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://tmstudies.net/index.php/ectms/article/view/547Revista Encontros Científicos - Tourism & Management Studies; v. 9 n. 1 (2013); 58-63Tourism & Management Studies; Vol. 9 N.º 1 (2013); 58-63Tourism & Management Studies; Vol. 9 No. 1 (2013); 58-63Revista Encontros Científicos - Tourism & Management Studies; Vol. 9 Núm. 1 (2013); 58-632182-8466reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttps://tmstudies.net/index.php/ectms/article/view/547https://tmstudies.net/index.php/ectms/article/view/547/961Copyright (c) 2016 Tourism & Management Studiesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHugl, Ulrike2023-12-27T10:25:25Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/547Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T00:56:19.305432Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
