Workplace Monitoring and Technology aims to showcase results of research and explanatory theories that influence employees' acceptance of the fact that work is monitored using ICT-based monitoring tools. Work monitoring, understood as obtaining, storing and reporting the results of collected observations, has always been a managerial task. Traditionally it was carried out by supervisors who, while overseeing the work of employees, would draw conclusions from their observations and implement corrective actions. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to monitor the working employee and their performance has changed the methods of monitoring, and the popularization of remote work has increased interest in searching for new monitoring systems using the full potential of new ICT solutions. The new developments in ICT have caused smart monitoring systems and new solutions to evolve in electronic work monitoring based on the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence, which enables nearly cost-free monitoring. However, scientific knowledge about them is limited, and above all, so is managerial knowledge about the reception of these tools by employees, while their misuse can cause considerable damage. Presenting a broad overview of the current state of different areas of scientific knowledge regarding smart and electronic monitoring systems of work performance, this book will be of relevance for academics within the fields of human resource management and performance management, and for similar groups of researchers in psychology and sociology.

Under and post COVID-19 conditions, companies are adapting to smart ways of operating and managing logistics processes to counteract the negative implications of the pandemic. This book offers an analysis and guidance on how to manage these processes, including transport, inventory, operations and waste management, to meet the complex need of enterprises. This edited collection presents selected and key aspects of the implementation of logistics processes in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, enriched with empirical analyses and international examples. The book is a contribution to the considerations on the role and importance of logistics processes in the management of organisations in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as reducing its negative socio-economic and technological effects. With contributions from global scholars, the book demonstrates the direction in which logistics processes should change so that they can take the form of "smart".Logistics, Transport and the COVID-19 Crisis will be directly relevant for researchers and academics across logistics, supply chain management, and transport management as well as risk management and related fields.

The COVID-19 pandemic has re-shaped organizations on many levels: resource, process, structural and relational. Such a wide range of forced changes has resulted in a greater need to implement risk management principles and procedures to secure an organization's position in the market. This book presents selected and key aspects of managing contemporary organizations in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, enriched with empirical analyses relating to various countries of the world. This edited collected focuses on clarifying and solving basic management dilemmas, integrated issues of risk management and organization security in light of changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. It specifically explores the following common problem areas, across industries and sectors, using theoretical, empirical and practical perspectives: financial, economic and regulatory conditions for management processes in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic; management of information resources and security in the conditions of the development of the phenomenon of digital risk and e-commerce; shaping relationships with stakeholders, with particular emphasis on relationships with customers in the conditions of sales processes; shaping the processes of creating and diffusing knowledge, with particular emphasis on the activities of educational entities. Organizational Management and the COVID-19 Crisis will be directly relevant for researchers and academics across a range of management disciplines, including strategic management, risk management, organizational studies, information and knowledge management and related fields.
