Internet Gambling in the Workplace – are you Getting Addicted?

 

by Jerry "Jet" Whittaker

January 29, 2006

 

A survey examining cyber-addiction in the workplace found that a remarkable 25 percent of employees responded in the affirmative when asked about whether they indulged in an addictive Internet activity form workplace. When asked about what forms of Web activities, they believed were most addictive, online gambling was rated as the fifth most addictive activity with eight percent of respondents. It was only behind shopping, news, pornography, and auctions. Another survey of personal managers of companies discloses that seventy-two percent of those surveyed reported to having dealt with some form of Internet abuse. Also, 40 percent of companies had fielded complaints by co-workers about colleagues who wasted time on the Internet. Among those dismissed from work, most were dismissed for pornography, however about eight percent of these complaints were pertaining to Internet misuse related to gambling and accounted for two percent of the overall dismissals.

Why Internet Gambling From Workplace Is A Problem?

Internet access in the workplace had increased by 17 percent in the year ending August 2002, with about 46 million American office workers using the Internet. This expansion, coupled with a concomitant rise in the use of Internet by employees for non-related purposes, gives rise to another avenue for addictive gambling behavior in the workplace. Addictive gambling is a social evil and can be very depressing for both the family and individual. If done from the workplace, it can also lead to the individual’s dismissal leaving him jobless and may be in debts due to gambling.

Use of technology for monitoring or controlling workplace gambling -

Only solution for controlling inter-net gambling from the workplace is by using monitoring software. Given that workplace Internet gambling is a technology-facilitated behavior, it is inevitable that solutions to this problem have to be technological in nature. For improving employee productivity, reducing legal liability and for enhancing network performance, businesses have resorted to various Employee Internet Monitoring (EIM) solutions. These can be used to limit and/or monitor the access to Internet gambling sites of the employee.
