英文摘要 | Workplace drug use by employees is a serious problem which can bring major economic cost to a firm. The extent of the problem will vary from firm to firm, given that the percent of employees who abuse drugs has been shown to range from 1% to 75% of the total work force of an individual firm. The major factors which contribute to workplace drug abuse considered in this paper are the work environment, psycho-social difficulties of employees and the culture of the employees. In the future, we can expect contributory factors to grow increasingly complex as the world grows smaller. Workplace drug use causes increased cost. Adverse economic impact resulting from employee drug use will be in the form of lost production time, increased insurance cost, expensive drug treatment programs and aggravated dysfunctional behavior by using employees. Loss of profits will follow from poor quality products or service, or damage to a firm's image among potential customers. Drug abuse will result in decreased Marginal Physical Product Level (MPPL) for a firm. A well-managed firm will respond to drug abuse among employees with a mix of an explicit drug use policy, drug education, an Employee Assistance Program, and drug testing. The specific response selected will depend upon each individual firm's benefit-to-cost analysis. In this paper, economic decision making analysis will guide a firm's choices, with both Short-run and Long-run view points being taken into consideration. |
