The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the economic impact of an employee internet management (EIM) system.
The paper reviews previous research on economic justification. It implements an EIM system, sniffer, and firewall to monitor real‐time sessions and to record blocked attempts.
The study finds that management may introduce an EIM system as a productivity control tool and bandwidth management tool.
Impacts of backlash were measured by qualitative questionnaires, so there was a possibility of some aberration. Partial elements limited to monetary factors are used among the various economic factors.
The paper proves that the overall impact of an EIM system has a positive value because filtering mechanisms cause users to lose access to few URLs containing useful information, saves users from various risk points and enhances labor productivity.
The study suggests the impact factors and measurement methods to justify the economic values of an EIM system.
