Purpose We established a dual-pathway model in which Taoism at work can shape employee low-carbon behavior via two mediating mechanisms: perceived value as a psychological mediator and guanxi as a social mediator. Patients and Methods Data were collected from 788 Chinese enterprises employees. Results Our results confirm the direct positive effect of Taoism on employee low-carbon behavior and the partial mediating effects of perceived value and co-worker guanxi. However, supervisor-subordinate guanxi does not mediate the relationship between Taoism and employee low-carbon behavior. Conclusion Despite the key role of employee low-carbon behavior, the individual-level antecedent to employees’ pro-environmental behavior remains underexplored. This study examines the influence of Taoism (an individual-level cultural value) on employee low-carbon behavior in the Chinese context. Theoretical and managerial implications were discussed.

“…Exhausted employees are more prone to distractions like cyberloafing (Khakpour, 2019;Liu & Zhang, 2022;Maqbool et al, 2023;Rahaei & Salehzadeh, 2020;Lim et al, 2020). This type of distraction is used to avoid interactions with leadership to protect self-esteem and health (Hadadian & Sayadpour, 2018).…”

From the perspective of social exchange and the conservation of resources theories, the current study investigated the effect of toxic leadership on employee cyberloafing behaviour via the mediating role of emotional exhaustion and the moderating role of organisational commitment. SPSS models 1:moderation, 4: mediation, and 14: moderation mediation of PROCESS Hayes were used to evaluate the data from 357 employees of the Chinese corporate sector. The results show a positive relation between toxic leadership and cyberloafing, and emotional exhaustion mediates this relationship. Further, organisation commitment moderates the indirect, interactive effect of toxic leadership and emotional exhaustion on cyberloafing. The model was tested using 3-wave data; however, since the data were attained from a single source, the problem of common method bias cannot be ruled out. To avoid or lessen instances of cyberloafing behaviour and encourage good working attitudes, organisations must also take action and develop regulations governing internet use in the workplace.

“…In recent years, scholars have recognized that if used appropriately, cyberloafing can have restorative effects [35], and be beneficial for the psychological well-being of employees [36]. Luqman et al found that social media-based interactions with colleagues can help employees alleviate boredom, and promote relaxation [37].…”

With the rapid development of the internet on a global scale, the use of internet communication equipment and the digitization of workplaces has accelerated, leading to widespread concern about "cyberloafing". Since 2002, scholars have discussed various aspects and types of cyberloafing, exploring its antecedents, consequences, and mechanisms. In recent years, due to the widespread presence of cyberloafing in management practice, there has been a growing number of studies on its impact, and scholars are increasingly concerned with how to transform cyberloafing into productive behavior for employees and organizations. Therefore, a new and targeted review of the existing literature on the impact of cyberloafing is necessary.In this review, we examine all the studies investigating the outcomes of cyberloafing, integrate existing research, and propose future research directions.
