An Updated Examination of the Effects of Illegal Drug Use in the Workplace

Illegal drug use in the workplace is a pervasive and serious problem that affects the corporate world, particularly with respect to the impairment of employee communication in their occupational settings. Because of the diversity of illegal drugs that are available (e.g., stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens) to general employees in the workforce, various effects can occur on the users that can affect their communication styles and patterns. The purpose of this article is to compile, examine, and display the most recent literature and statistical data on illegal drug use in the workplace and its effects on human communication and the behavioral effects of illegal drug use on employees. This issue has received substantial attention over the past generations. More specifically, this area of inquiry has been a hot, scholarly topic in business and communication studies for the past few decades.     

The battle over SNS privacy for US employees and job applicants: an analysis of 2012–2013 state legislation

This study examines US legislation designed to prohibit employer access to employee and job applicant personal social networking sites (SNSs) between 2012 and 2013. It asks if the legislation addressed how employers could use SNSs in the hiring process by requesting SNS passwords, if there were consequences for violators, if employer retaliation was prohibited, if third-party access was allowed, if employee SNS monitoring was prohibited, if SNS friend requests by employers was allowed and if employer requested changes in privacy settings were prohibited. In addition, the study also examined the interest groups and political party-affiliated sponsors that were active in the creation of the legislation. The results discover important inconsistencies between the states’ legislation, which question the ability to protect worker and applicant online privacy. US policy recommendations and transnational implications follow.

Business Education: Real Time or Semester Time?

Both the context and content of management education are changing as new providers compete for market share.

企业社会责任构建的原则和对策——以海西企业为例

政府和社会各界对企业推进社会责任建设日益关注。当前,企业社会责任建设在取得一些成绩的同时,还存在诸多不足之处。企业社会责任的构建应坚持社会各界积极参与原则、循序渐进原则、依据企业情况区别对待原则、以人为本原则、大力弘扬历史文化原则。要强化企业社会责任,须将软环境建设作为突破口,构建与企业类型、层次相适应的社会责任模式,并着力强化企业工会的职能作用。
