“…5.3.4.3 Control and monitoring. Many studies have considered whether control and monitoring strategies (Hensel and Kacprzak, 2021;Zoghbi-Manrique-De-Lara et al, 2006) can deter cyberloafing, although most of these have explored coercive forms of control, such as perceived sanctions (Henle and Blanchard, 2008) or punishment (Hensel and Kacprzak, 2021), perceived abusiveness (past enforcement for less abusive behaviors) (Ugrin and Pearson, 2013) and utilization of blocking and confirmation modules to ensure appropriate Internet use (Glassman et al, 2015). Scholars have discussed that the presence of formal Internet use and monitoring policies and their enforcement (Ugrin and Pearson, 2013) can influence the prevalence of cyberloafing (Askew and Buckner, 2017;Khansa et al, 2018; Zoghbi-Manrique-De-Lara and Olivares-Mesa, 2010).…”

“…Thus, their accounting in theoretical frameworks can assist in accurately predicting cyberloafing (Khansa et al, 2017). For instance, Hensel and Kacprzak (2021) determined that formal punishment had a strong effect on unpunished employees who violated organizational Internet usage policies, which were more closely integrated into organizational structure compared to punished employees. According to Wang et al (2013), employees may be deterred from cyberloafing through the presence of Internet use policies and electronic monitoring; however, these mechanisms are more effective for employees with higher self-esteem and job satisfaction, respectively.…”

PurposeScholars are increasingly focusing on the adverse effects of digitization on human lives in personal and professional contexts. Cyberloafing is one such effect and digitization-related workplace behavior that has garnered attention in both academic and mainstream media. However, the existing literature is fragmented and needs to be consolidated to generate a comprehensive and contemporary overview of cyberloafing research and map its current intellectual boundaries. The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on systematic literature review (SLR) in cyberloafing and cyberslacking in the workplace.Design/methodology/approachA SLR is conducted to assimilate the existing research. A total of 87 studies selected through a robust protocol are analyzed through content analysis.FindingsA total of four thematic research areas and inherent gaps are identified, including conceptualization, operationalization, antecedents and stakeholders and consequences. Results are used to assimilate thematic gaps and potential research questions (RQs) to be addressed by future scholars. To advance cyberloafing research, the authors propose a theoretically grounded comprehensive framework based on the SLR findings.Originality/valueOur study's novelty rests in its state-of-the-art synthesis of cyberloafing research, which encompasses a broader scope than prior SLRs. Furthermore, developing a theoretically grounded comprehensive framework for advancing future research is a unique contribution of this study.

“…First, this study contributes to the information security research by providing a novel view of PSRB and expanding our understanding of health information security violations. Prior studies have identified deviant security behaviours from various perspectives: the deterrence theory (e.g., Hensel & Kacprzak, 2020;Kuo et al, 2020;Vance et al, 2020;Willison, Lowry, & Paternoster, 2018), neutralisation (e.g., Gwebu et al, 2020;Siponen & Vance, 2010;Vance et al, 2020;Willison, Warkentin, & Johnston, 2018), rational choice and beliefs (Bulgurcu et al, 2010), emotions, such as fear, anger and shame (Boss et al, 2015;Vance et al, 2020;F. Xu et al, 2020) and reactance and fairness theories (Lowry et al, 2015).…”

Regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), establish standards to protect patients' medical records from security breaches. Insiders' prosocial misbehaviour within healthcare organisations can cause significant damage to relevant stakeholders. Such behaviour without malicious intention needs to be better understood and carefully managed from the perspective of prosocial behaviour. For this study, a research model was developed that includes the factors influencing student nurses' intention to disclose patient health information. The model was empirically tested with nursing students in South Korea with a scenario-based experiment. We find that both altruistic (impact on others) and egoistic (impact on the self) motivations are significantly important in raising situational empathy. On the other hand, an egoistic motivation (impact on the self) significantly affects people's perception of their responsibility, which mediates the relationship between situational empathy and prosocial intention to disclose. The implications of our findings are discussed.

“…( Khansa et al, 2017 ; Batabyal and Bhal, 2020 ) have been regarded as the key individual factors affecting employe cyberloafing. (2) Organizational factors: Organizational infrastructure ( Askew and Buckner, 2017 ), organizational culture (e.g., hierarchy, justice, and meaningful work) ( Zoghbi-Manrique-de-Lara and Viera-Armas, 2017 ; Khansa et al, 2018 ; Usman et al, 2021 ), and monitoring strategies ( Hensel and Kacprzak, 2021 ) are key antecedent variables of employe cyberloafing. Scholars have made a rich and useful exploration of the antecedent variables of cyberloafing.…”

Cyberloafing to Escape From the “Devil”: Investigating the Impact of Abusive Supervision From the Third-Party Perspective

PurposePrevious studies on cyberloafing focus on individual and organization factors, ignoring the situation of employes as the event observers. Drawing on affective events theory (AET), the present study proposed a theoretical model for the relationships among peer abusive supervision, negative affectivity, cyberloafing, and hostile attribute bias, which aims to bridge the above research gap.MethodologyMultiwave data of 355 employes from 8 service-oriented companies in Southwest China supported our model. Time-lag method and critical incident techniques were introduced during the data collection stage. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and bootstrapping method were employed for hypothesis test.FindingsThe empirical results indicated that peer abusive supervision was positively related to third party’s cyberloafing, and the third party’s negative affectivity plays a mediating role among the above relationships. In addition, the third party’s hostile attribution bias moderated the mediating role of third party’s negative affectivity. Specifically, the effect of peer abusive supervision on third party’s negative affectivity and the mediating effect of this negative affectivity were stronger when the third party’s hostile attribution bias was higher.OriginalityDrawing on AET, the current study constructed a process model of third party’s cyberloafing reactions to peer abusive supervision, which helps explain the affective mechanism and the boundary conditions of the above “events-affectivity-behavior” path. Our model is a positive response to previous scholars’ calls for research of abusive supervision from multiple perspectives. Meanwhile, the current study explored the antecedent variable of cyberloafing from the perspective of event observers, which provides a theoretical basis for follow-up-related research. Thirdly, this study further expanded the theoretical boundaries of AET.
