Work Ethic And Productivity: The Mediating Role Of Leadership, Everly Tapp

Employee work ethic and workplace productivity are vital for organizational success.

Service technician workplace productivity data was …

The participants were nine IT managers who successfully implemented cyberloafing monitoring and deterrence strategies in the United States. Data were collected via semistructured interviews and organization employee policy handbooks (n = 4) provided by the participants. Data were analyzed using …
