<\/span><\/span><\/figure>\nUnless a company is strict enough to ban the use of such smartphones, there\u2019s not much that employers can do. Ultimately, a significant part of the responsibility rests on the employees\u2019 shoulders.<\/p>\n
My Two Cents\u2019 Worth: It All Boils Down to Work Culture<\/h4>\n Considering it may not be practical to restrict Facebook access, especially as employees today have greater control over their work activities due to advanced technology like smartphones, is there no way for employers to manage Facebook use to maintain optimal productivity?<\/p>\n
In my opinion, the most effective way to influence employee behavior is through the organization\u2019s culture<\/strong>. Interestingly, the impact of a strong work culture is often more enduring than the imposition of strict rules and regulations.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/span><\/figure>\nThis is akin to how a country maintains order through laws. When people understand the reasons behind laws, they are more likely to abide by them willingly and feel content with their governance. Conversely, if the purpose of a law is unclear, people might only comply out of fear of punishment, and more are likely to challenge such laws.<\/p>\n
Productivity, The Ultimate Goal<\/h4>\n Returning to the core issue, in any organization, it\u2019s crucial for employers to foster the right working attitude in employees. They need to understand that the ultimate goal is productivity<\/strong> and, increasingly important, teamwork.<\/p>\nThe guideline should be clear: employees are free to access Facebook whenever they like, but not at the expense of their productivity or their relationships with colleagues<\/strong>. With this approach, employees feel trusted to make their own decisions, leading to higher job satisfaction and motivation to fulfill their duties.<\/p>\nDeveloping a strong work ethic is also vital. If employees routinely access Facebook during work hours without regard for their tasks, it\u2019s likely that this behavior will influence new employees to do the same.<\/p>\n
Thus, the importance of building a positive and productive work culture cannot be overstated.<\/p>\n
