ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic forced many organizations to adapt their current processes. Employees were sent home to adhere to the social distancing guidelines. Where previous managers could check in on their subordinates in person, they must now face new ways to keep track of teleworking employees. However, these new ways of surveilling might infringe on employee well-being. This research in progress submission discusses plans to employ a grounded theory methodology to explore the new phenomenon.
