| description | The use of internet bandwidth has become very important to the increasing number of
small and medium-sized enterprise (SME). Regrettably, many employees are prone to
abuse their unlimited internet access at work for non-work related purposes. Policies and
monitoring of employee internet bandwidth use increase a firm’s productivity.
Unfortunately, trust issues between a company and its employees significantly affect the
latter’s organizational commitment and turnover intentions. This research proposes a
model which allows employees to use their organization’s internet bandwidth at work for
work as well as non-work purposes while at the same time effectively utilizing the internet
bandwidth for work purposes. This paper presents a firm’s effective bandwidth utilization
conceptual model which has been developed and tested statistically, and it also compares
the resulting findings with the leading empirical studies in this domain. |
