As electronic mail loosens inhibitions, impetuous senders feel anything goes
Article Abstract:
Electronic mail (E-mail) systems are changing the way fellow workers are communicating with one another in the workplace. E-mail is loosening inhibitions that employees would normally have and is having both positive and negative effects. One executive sent his love a message reviewing their amorous activities and inadvertently sent the message to 300 fellow employees. The advantage of E-mail is that it avoids missed telephone calls and crosses time zones. Many employees are having fun with E-mail and trade recipes, jokes and other entertaining messages. E-mail certainly has changed office politics and organizational behavior and its usage will yield both good and bad results in the future.
