  • The impact of modern media on the work efficiency of employees and the safety aspect of their use
    Lebar, Romana, 1984-
    Online social networks are considered a two-way communication medium of the modern era. They are present in all spheres of human life, including in their work environment. Employees also use them for ... personal purposes during active working hours. The most common reasons for this are the need to strengthen relationships and hedonistic and cognitive reasons. Their use in the work environment for personal purposes affects the employee and the organization. In theory, there is no consensus on which areas of employees and the organization these influences are most reflected in, and whether positive or negative influences prevail. The research question was about the impact of the use of online social networks on the work efficiency of an employee, if he uses them during active working hours, for personal purposes, or for purposes unrelated to his work task. An important aspect that will be observed at the same time is the user’s (un)awareness of the (in)security of the use of online social networks in the work environment. We assume that the use of online social networks during working hours for personal purposes that are predominantly hedonistic has a negative impact on the work efficiency of the employee. We will prove the hypothesis by calculating the daily lost work efficiency per employee. At the same time, we assume that awareness of the (in)security of the use of online social networks among employees is low. For the research tool, a survey questionnaire is selected, which is forwarded to a random sample via social networks.
