Description

There is a bulk of the scholarly literature on the computer ethics that focuses on ethical issues in the workplace. Still, even now a number of companies and organizations are continually confronted with ethical challenges and violations that must be resolved. The resolution can be reached in different ways many of which will be discussed in this paper. The objective can be reached either through clarifying internal policy or through internal disciplining and enforcement, or litigation. The clue to the problem closely depends on the nature and severity of the violation and some other factors. While there is no indication that the cases of willfully malicious acts of unethical computer behavior (IT behavior) can be completely eliminated, I still hold to the idea that the introduction of clear ethical imperatives to the workers of the organization can help to bring certainty in the way the organization is being operated. In my research I want to show that ethical lapses simply come as a result from a lack of certainty on the part of the user and lack of policy clarity on the part of the organization (two major sides involved into the problem). Since ethical principles are challenged repeatedly as the society moves forward, workers should be constantly informed about the proper ethical behavior in given situations and provided with support when they face non-standard situations. In relatively young fields like information technologies, the determination of appropriate behavior can be regarded as a particularly acute problem, which attracts many scholars and is being discussed in numerous publications.
