Abstract

In today’s digitalized workplace, workplace incivility and cyberloafing have become major concerns for many corporate and government organizations all over the world.  The objective of this study was to determine the effects of cyberloafing and workplace rudeness on workers. The study took a quantitative approach, administered a set of survey questionnaire, and collected response from 135 employees from three rural municipalities in Kaski district.  Different descriptive and inferential statistical analysis tools were applied to draw the conclusion. Results showed that the cyber loafing and employee productivity had a weak significant positive relationship (0.320) whereas work incivility and employee productivity had a negative co-relationship (-0.304). Similarly, the regression result reveled a significant low magnitude of impact of cyberloafing and workplace incivility (0.443 and -0.445 coefficient respectively) on employee productivity. This research underlines the necessity for local governments to put policies in place that discourages uncivil behavior at workplace and prevent employees from the tendency of cyberloafing, as doing so can help to increase worker productivity.
网络漫游、工作场所不文明与员工生产力:Kaski地区农村自治市的实证研究
在当今数字化的工作场所,工作场所的不文明行为和网络闲逛已经成为世界各地许多企业和政府机构关注的主要问题。这项研究的目的是确定网络闲逛和工作场所粗鲁行为对员工的影响。本研究采用定量方法,编制了一套调查问卷,收集了Kaski地区三个农村自治市135名员工的反馈。使用不同的描述性和推断性统计分析工具得出结论。结果表明,网络闲散与员工生产力呈弱显著正相关(0.320),而工作不文明与员工生产力呈负相关(-0.304)。同样,回归结果显示,网络闲逛和工作场所不文明对员工生产力的影响程度显著偏低(系数分别为0.443和-0.445)。这项研究强调,地方政府有必要制定政策,阻止工作场所的不文明行为,防止员工上网闲逛,因为这样做有助于提高员工的生产力。
