互联网对世界各地人们的工作和个人生活产生了重大影响。虽然访问互联网改变了工作方式,但它也增加了人们在工作的幌子下上网的机会。网上闲逛是指员工在工作时间内出于个人目的使用公司的互联网接入的行为。我们的研究通过对226名在职成年人的调查,研究了各种网络闲逛活动的普遍性和严重性。我们研究了员工如何证明网络闲逛和组织规定的个人网络使用在他们的工作场所。结果表明,被认为是更严重的网络闲逛活动往往不那么普遍。我们还发现,互联网使工作和非工作(家庭)之间的界限变得不那么明显,促进了工作对家庭和个人活动对工作领域的侵入。的结果的影响进行了讨论。
The Internet has made a significant impact on work and the personal lives of people around the world. While access to the Internet has changed the ways work can be carried out, it has also increased the opportunities for people to cyberloaf, while under the guise of doing work. Cyberloafing is the act of employees using their companies’ Internet access for personal purposes during work hours. Our study examined the perceived prevalence and seriousness of various cyberloafing activities through a survey of 226 working adults. We examined how employees justify cyberloafing and the organizational regulation of personal Web usage at their workplace. Results suggest that cyberloafing activities that are perceived to be more serious tend to be less prevalent. We also found that the Internet has made the boundary between work and non-work (home) less distinct, facilitating the intrusion of work into home and personal activities into the work domain. Implications of the results are discussed.
