Cyberloafing and Workplace Behavior Personal Information Management and User Behavior Mind wandering and attention

Abstract

Cyberloafing has received increasing research interest in recent years and from a diversity of research streams. The implications of cyberloafing have proved to be significant, stronger and costly as compared to other less knowledge-based settings. Among other antecedents, the interrelationship of knowledge-workers’ personality traits and their inclinations to cyberloaf has not been studied to date. This survey investigates the relationship between the mentioned factors within and across a number of knowledge-intensive professional services firms in Iran. The findings show the significant positive impact of neuroticism, extraversion and openness to experience on both types of cyberloafing (namely activities and behaviours) and the negative impact of agreeableness on only cyberloafing activities.
