Abstract
In today's world, the development of new technologies has transformed the way employees perform their tasks without the limit of time and place. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a concept to enable employees to perform their tasks with the limitless infrastructure, which allows mobility and access to anyone, anywhere using their own devices. The growing trends of BYOD have many benefits including increased employees’ productivity, increased employee satisfaction, and reduced costs. Despite the benefits, companies are also facing challenges such as security, loss and stolen of device and data, as well as malware attacks. One of the reasons for these challenges is that the BYOD policy is still not established and enforced in the public sector. Failure to create BYOD policy will have a negative impact on the organisation. However, issues and benefits are only anecdotes and they are not empirically studied in the public sector. Therefore, this study aims to identify benefits and challenges in Malaysian Public Sectors (MPS). Through literature review, benefits and challenges were extracted to list out the construct by measuring the frequency of constructs appearing in the literature. For that purpose, the quantitative survey will be conducted.
Highlights
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a concept that allows employees to utilize their technology personally using own devices, which they will be connected to access data with, from, or perform tasks for their organisations [1]
This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the current practices of BYOD as well as benefits and challenges in Malaysian Public Sectors (MPS)
Understanding the benefits and being aware of the challenges of BYOD is crucial for organisations considering BYOD at workplace
Summary
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a concept that allows employees to utilize their technology personally using own devices, which they will be connected to access data with, from, or perform tasks for their organisations [1]. Due to growing number of employees having mobile devices, some organisations are taking the opportunity to exploit this technology as a means to improve employees’ productivity, job satisfaction, and mobility. These gadgets are used by employees as the method for interfacing, connecting with others, and progressively utilising their cell phones for business-related purposes. A growing literature has clearly stated the benefits of embracing the BYOD such as employees becoming more productive, improved employees’ satisfaction and increased mobility. Despite these advantages, there are a few issues that need to be addressed. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the current practices of BYOD as well as benefits and challenges in Malaysian Public Sectors (MPS)
