Bilgi ve İletişim Teknolojilerinin Kullanımı ve Etik Olmayan Davranışlar: Sorunlar, Araştırmalar ve Değerlendirmeler

Year 2016, Volume: 4 Issue: 8, 124 - 153, 29.12.2016

Abstract

Bu
çalışmanın amacı bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin (BİT) kullanımında etik
olmayan davranışları konu alan araştırma çalışmalarını inceleyerek çeşitli
değerlendirmeler yapmaktır. Bu değerlendirmeler alanyazındaki etik konusuyla
ilgili araştırmalar analiz edilerek yapılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında ulaşılan
“Bilgi ve İletişim Teknolojilerinin Kullanımında Etik Olmayan Davranışlar”
konusuyla ilgili çalışmalar yurt dışında yapılan araştırmalar ve yurt içinde
yapılan araştırmalar şeklinde ele alınmıştır.



BİT’in etik kullanımı ile ilgili yurt dışında
yapılan çalışmalarda ulaşılan sonuçlar incelendiğinde; bilgi ve iletişim
teknolojileri alanında etik davranış ve bilinç geliştirme açısından bireylerin
ikilemler yaşadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte BİT’in etik ve yasal
kullanımında sosyal normlar, cinsiyet, yaş, kişisel değerler, ahlaki yargı,
toplumsal değerler, ahlaki sorumluluk gibi özelliklerin etkili olduğu
görülmüştür. BİT’in etik kullanımı ile ilgili Türkiye’de yapılan çalışmalarda
ulaşılan sonuçlar incelendiğinde ise; bireylerin bilgi ve iletişim
teknolojilerinin etik kullanımına ilişkin görüş ve davranışlarının cinsiyet ile
ebeveyn eğitim durumu gibi demografik özelliklere göre farklılaştığı
görülmüştür.
