Abstract
This paper attempts to shed some light on the effect of cyberloafing on employee productivity. More specifically, the objective of this study is to assess the relationships between workplace Internet leisure, workplace Internet leisure policy, workplace autonomy orientation, and employee productivity. Data were collected from five banks located in Kuala Lumpur. Self-administered survey questionnaires were employed among which 282 completed questionnaires were returned and found usable for further analysis. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software version 21.0. The result suggests that there is a significant and positive relationship between workplace Internet leisure and employee productivity. However, it is found that workplace autonomy orientation and workplace Internet leisure policy do not affect employee productivity. Implications, limitations and future research directions are discussed at the end of the paper.
本文试图揭示网络闲逛对员工生产力的影响。更具体地说,本研究的目的是评估工作场所互联网休闲、工作场所互联网休闲政策、工作场所自主取向与员工生产力之间的关系。数据是从位于吉隆坡的五家银行收集的。采用自填式调查问卷,回收完成问卷282份,可供进一步分析。采用SPSS 21.0版社会科学统计软件包(Statistical Package for Social Science)对数据进行分析。结果表明,工作场所网络休闲与员工生产力之间存在显著的正相关关系。然而,我们发现工作场所自主取向和工作场所互联网休闲政策对员工生产力没有影响。最后对研究的意义、局限性和未来的研究方向进行了讨论。
