Abstract

Workplace surveillance technologies have become increasingly prevalent, enabling employers to monitor employee activities through various means such as video cameras, computer monitoring software, GPS tracking, and even keystroke logging. While these technologies are often implemented to increase productivity, ensure security, and protect company assets, there is growing concern about the psychological impact of constant surveillance on employees. The mental health consequences of workplace surveillance are complex and multifaceted, influencing both individual behavior and organizational dynamics. This article explores how workplace surveillance affects employee behavior, emotional well-being, job satisfaction, stress levels, and overall mental health. It discusses the negative effects such as anxiety, burnout, and decreased morale, as well as the potential for resistance, disengagement, and trust issues. Additionally, the article delves into the ethical implications of surveillance in the workplace, emphasizing the need for balanced policies that respect privacy and protect mental health. Finally, the article offers recommendations for organizations to mitigate the psychological risks associated with surveillance practices while fostering a healthy and productive work environment.
