Impact of Electronic Monitoring on Employees: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Electronic monitoring is more and more widespread and affects many employees around the globe. The current meta analysis collected data of 59 independent samples (with 223 effect sizes) to estimate the effect of electronic monitoring on job satisfaction, stress, and performance. A random-effects model indicated a small negative effect of monitoring on job satisfaction, r=-.09, and a small positive effect on stress, r=.12. There was no relationship with performance, r=-.01. Even if the effects of monitoring on … Show more

“…Given the poor record of performance management programs generally (Pulakos et al, 2019), and electronic performance monitoring specifically (Siegel et al, 2021), the failure of BWCs to achieve consistent results should not surprise (assuming one accepts BWCs are a form of electronic performance monitoring, a task I take up in Chapter 2). The authors of a recent review of electronic monitoring offer up several suggestions, one of which is to use electronic monitoring in the workplace to develop, rather than deter employees (Tomczak et al, 2018).…”

“…However, the majority of research in this area tends to highlight the unintended, most often negative, impacts from increased workplace surveillance. While electronic performance monitoring is often sold as a performance-enhancing tool, the link between the two is weak to non-existent, while the costs to the employees are better established (Siegel et al, 2021). Workplace surveillance has been linked to increases in stress and poor health outcomes in surveilled employees (Aiello & Shao, 1993; M. J.…”
