In view of this, the research investigates the extent to which personal characteristics such as gender, religious belief and an employee’s position in the organizational hierarchy can influence his/her attitude towards computer use ethic. The data used for this qualitative research was drawn from in-depth and intensive semi-structured interviews of six prominent professionals; four from the private sector and two from the public sector. Out of the six professionals, there were three males and three females. The study made some interesting revelations; that computer use ethic is one of the greatest concerns for employers which needs to be tactfully addressed through values based orientation rather than compliance or legal based orientation; and as compared to gender and organizational position, religious belief has the greatest impact in guiding and influencing employees towards ethical computer use at the workplace. |
