Description
With three main goals in mind, this critical research paper raises concerns about the widespread use of wearable technology for workplace surveillance. The first goal concerns with the examination of the ethical and moral implications of using wearable technology in work environments. Informed permission, privacy concerns, data ownership, and the possibility of discriminatory behaviors must all be carefully examined. For the second goal, the authors delve into the implications constant monitoring affects employees' physical and mental health. Examining the possibility of elevated stress, burnout, and decreased job satisfaction as a result of ongoing observation and performance pressure is part of this. Lastly, the authors of this paper have attempted to develop a Framework for Equitable Wearable Integration (FEWI) that describes how wearable devices can be utilized fairly and efficiently at workplaces in future. The study outlines the detrimental effects of wearable monitoring on workplace culture and employee morale using both empirical data and theoretical models. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
