Conceptualizing the Potential Role of IoT-Enabled Monitoring System in Deterring Counterproductive Work Behavior

With our society apparently becoming technology-obsessed day by day, business organizations would have to involuntarily adapt these innovations to be more efficient and productive. With respect to human resource management, lot many processes such as recruitment, training, and payroll have changed with the technology innovations. These technologies can further be used to detect any potential bad behaviors (also called as counterproductive work behaviors) in organizations. Researchers are increasingly focusing on these behaviors due to its effect on the well-being of the members of the organization and of the organization itself. Internet of things, abbreviated as IoT, is a technology framework that brings technologies together to execute specific actions. It is one of the most intriguing concepts that are attracting the attention of many organizations. This paper discusses the potential use of Internet of things in reducing counterproductive work behaviors (CWB). The paper emphasizes on different devices and techniques of identifying potential CWB. Further, the paper identifies some challenges the organizations might face while including IoT in its system.
