The correct answer is: Workers may experience information overload.

The following are the effects of IT on the relationship between employers and employees.

1) There is a reduced need to follow the chain of command. Efficient channels of communication that operate independently of the organisation hierarchy reduce the need to pass communications up the chain of command.

2) Computing and communications developments have led to the capture, analysis and transmission of ever-increasing amounts of information. However, only relevant information is useful. An excess of irrelevant information is harmful - a person is more likely to miss or misinterpret vital information if they are swamped with irrelevant material.

3) Information technology enables people located all over the world to enjoy close working relationships, regardless of geographical location

4) The need for flexibility in employee and employer attitudes has resulted in trends away from 'a job for life', towards shorter terms of service, freelance workers and contracting. Flexible working arrangements are increasing.

Improved information systems have helped managers to plan, monitor and control work more effectively.
