Abstract:

Practices of dismissal arising from a variety of reasons, such as reduction, performance or behavior, play an important role in the work life. With the advanced technology and the spread of social media tools that people can reach everywhere at any time, the reasons for dismissal have also changed. The purpose of this research is to investigate whether employees’ social media sharing creates a cause of dismissal. The social media sharing of employees was evaluated in the context of dismissal and privacy. In the research, the examples of the quality research types have been thoroughly studied using the example event method and are representative of the social media facts. The research has found that the employee’s privacy is ignored and the social media platforms can be the cause of the dismissal. In fact, the day the employee was that sharing a holiday photo from the beach on the social media, being spoken on the social media in the nature of selling with the aim of human resources, describing the employment contract as a slavery contract and sharing a photo that breaks the business discipline in which the organization’s logo appears could be the reason for the dismissal. The important contribution of the study is the study of the fact of dismissal due to social media in the context of disclosure and monitoring, which is a modern threat to privacy. Now social media has become an assessment element for employers, not only in the recruitment, but also in the dismissal.
