Cyberloafing: A review and research agenda

Abstract In an increasingly digitized world, the concept of cyberloafing has gained much attention as employees use the Internet for personal purposes during work hours. Over the last two decades, scholars have examined different aspects and types of cyberloafing in a variety of contexts, developed typologies to categorize them, and discussed the antecedents, consequences, and regulation of cyberloafing. Due to the growing interest in this topic, a comprehensive and updated review of existing literature is much needed. In this review, we examine research on cyberloafing at the workplace settings. We also developed and presented a research model that integrates existing studies and propose directions for future research.
