Abstract

This paper discusses the meta-communicative aspects of electronic surveillance in the workplace, whether it is used for information security or other purposes. Both quantitative and qualitative results of survey work are reported to support the contention that the use of electronic surveillance is itself a communicative act and that the employees who are being surveilled interpret it -- and respond to it -- as such.
