摘要：As the Internet continues to permeate the organization, the IS department is challenged with the increasing problem of employee Internet misuse. One tool that is utilized is the Internet Use Policy. A primary question, however, relates to the effectiveness of these policies. This paper empirically investigates the perceived effectiveness of employee Internet Use Policies. Over a six-month period, fifty-two web-administered surveys were collected. Respondents ranged from human resource managers to company presidents. Results suggest that Internet Use Policies may not be as prevalent as previously indicated in industry surveys and may be related to organization size. In addition, findings indicate that employee signature is generally required and perceived to greatly increase the effectiveness of the policy in deterring employee Internet misuse. Finally, results suggest that Internet Use Policy is related to the type of employee outcome (discipline and/or termination).
