The effect of the cyberloafing behaviors of tourism business employees on business motivations and organizational identification

Abstract

With the development of communication technologies, cyberloafing, which means the use of tools such as telephone, tablet, or Internet for business or individual purposes, has become a subject of debate. From this point of view, the cyberloafing behavior of employees in tourism enterprises was examined. It was aimed to investigate the effects of cyberloafing on business motivations and organizational identification in tourism businesses. For this purpose, field research was conducted on hotel management employees in the cities of Sinop and Samsun in Turkey. The data collected through questionnaires were analyzed by factor analysis and Partial Least Squares Structural Modeling (PLS). Findings indicate that cyberloafing has partially and relatively low impact on job motivation and organizational identification. The results of the study contribute to the literature of organizational behavior in the context of cyberloafing, and offer suggestions for hotel managers.
