摘要：The management’s responsibility is to monitor the employee’s performance but when it becomes a desire of the management to snoop/spy the employees’ performance, then, this act has a direct influence on the employees and their motivations. The paper investigates the effects of top management’s spying/snooping in the organization on employees’ productivity and job commitment. For the purpose, a sample of 3500 employees, via self-administered survey technique, was analyzed. Tobit Model (censored regression) has been used to interrogate the effect of snooping/spying on employee productivity and commitment. Tobit Model marked findings that the approach of top management to snoop/spy on the employees’ productivity and job commitment affects adversely on the employees. Policy makers should adopt informal ways to practice snooping as it causes stress, mental illness, de-motivation and especially, when snooping is via other co-workers and employees, it creates major disruption and a rise to politicking in organization, which affects the proper streamlining of business operations across the departments.
