随着先进的通信技术在现代劳动力中的快速整合，反生产力工作场所行为的格局正在发生变化。具体来说，雇主越来越多地允许员工在家工作，并通过通信技术与办公室保持联系。这些远程工作安排带来了一种新形式的适得其反的工作场所行为，即网络懈怠。网络休闲指的是在上班时间使用互联网进行与工作无关的活动。在家里工作时，从事网络休闲活动可能特别重要，因为这样更容易避免被上司和同事抓住。目前的研究探讨个性，满意度和感知性能的前因网络懈怠，而远离办公室工作。一项实地研究的结果表明，网络懈怠与拖延呈正相关，与诚实、责任心和尽责性呈负相关。网络缺乏也被发现是负相关的满意度和感知性能，而远程工作。这项研究表明，个性可能被用作筛选那些可能被选中进行远程工作的人的一种途径，或者帮助开发一种结构，以减少那些有网络懈怠倾向的人的网络懈怠机会（例如，对员工的日常产出进行更密切的管理监控）。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The landscape of counterproductive workplace behavior is changing with the rapid integration of advanced communication technologies in the modern workforce. Specifically, employers are increasingly allowing employees to spend some work time at home, and to stay connected with the office through communication technologies. These telework arrangements bring about a new form of counterproductive workplace behaviors, namely, cyberslacking. Cyberslacking involves using the Internet for non-work related purposes while on company time. Engaging in cyberslacking might be particularly relevant when working at home because it would be easier to avoid being caught by supervisors and co-workers. The current study examines personality, satisfaction, and perceived performance as antecedents of cyberslacking while working away from the office. Findings from a field study indicate that cyberslacking is positively related to Procrastination, and negatively related to Honesty, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness. Cyberlacking was also found to be negatively related to both satisfaction and perceived performance while working remotely. The study suggests that personality might be used as an avenue for screening those who may be selected for remote work, or to help develop structures that reduce cyberslacking opportunities for those with personalities that are predisposed to cyberslacking (e.g., closer managerial monitoring of the employee's daily output).
