Abstract

Ethical issues due to the following four major factors inherent to virtual work are examined: (1) organizational culture, (2) trust, (3) cross-cultural diversity, and (4) monitoring. The author proposes that the negative ethical implications of the virtual work environment can be overcome by following the suggested steps and proposed guidelines. Areas for potential future research are included and are followed by an overall discussion of the issues covered and some closing remarks.
