Conceptual view of Cyberloafing and Non-Work Domain

Abstract

Abstract.In an attempt to understand the reasons for employees' personal Internet use at work, known as cyberloafing, this paper attempts a new perspective to look at the phenomenon. As the barrier between the previously separate work and home domains reduces, employees are increasingly integrating their working and private world. This phenomenon has resulted in employees using their personal time for work-related tasks through technology in the privacy of their homes and private domain. Conversely, employees could be carrying out non-work related Internet use during office hours. This paper aims to explore the possibility of non-work domain as a factor for employees to cyberloaf. This paper proposed a conceptual model based on border theory and theory of interpersonal behaviour. The resultant augmented theory offers a richer explanation of how non-work domain affects employees' decision making process on cyberloafing.

Online and Academic Procrastination in Students With Learning Disabilities: The Impact of Academic Stress and Self-Efficacy

“…Although both kinds of procrastination are related to negative feelings in the individual such as stress, anxiety, and guilt (Grunschel et al., 2013; Sampat & Basu, 2017), it seems that each of them is connected to a different emotional aspect. Academic procrastination is primarily related to avoidance due to fear of failure (Haghbin et al., 2012) and difficulty in organizing and managing time (Rabin et al., 2011), whereas online procrastination is associated with social and technological distraction (Soh et al., 2017). Online procrastination is also associated with avoidance, that is, avoiding a boring, dissatisfying, or unchallenging task (Varol & Yıldırım, 2019).…”

Cyberloafing: A review and research agenda

“…Hence, future research can examine whether individual factors intertwine with employees' home environment to influence their propensity to cyberloaf during work hours. In fact, Soh et al (2017) have proposed a conceptual model to explain the role of private demands and the moderating role of nonwork domain on cyberloafing. Testing this framework could contribute significantly to existing literature.…”

“…These theories focus on how employees manage their work-life boundaries by navigating the work and nonwork spillover (Clark, 2000). Soh et al (2017) argued that this can be done through cyberloafing at work. Individuals with high segmentation preference generally neutralize their behavior by convincing themselves that cyberloafing is justifiable (Lim & Teo, 2005).…”
