Abstract

This research paper investigates the factors behind the growing trend of workplace surveillance by employers in modern-day workspaces. The paper aims to understand the ways in which increased surveillance is altering the power dynamics and relationships between employers and employees. It draws on various sources, including websites, journals, and newspapers, and uses content analysis as a methodology. The research paper is divided into four parts, with the first section exploring traditional models developed by theorists to enhance worker efficiency. The second section examines the contemporary forms and tools of surveillance utilized in modern-day workplaces. The third section analyzes the changing dynamics between employers and employees resulting from increased surveillance. Finally, the fourth section proposes solutions to achieve a balance of interests between both parties.
