Abstract

Purpose Despite previous research highlighting the consequences of facades of conformity (FOC) on attitudes, emotions and feelings, little is known about their negative effects on behaviors. This study draws on the job stress process model to examine the association between FOC and cyberloafing and explores how anxiety functions as an underlying mechanism affecting cyberloafing. Design/methodology/approach A total of 185 employees from Chinese organizations participated in a two-wave questionnaire survey. Findings The study found a positive relationship between FOC and cyberloafing and noted that anxiety mediates this relationship. The research also identified that performance–avoidance goal orientation moderates the relationship between FOC and anxiety, as well as the indirect effects of the FOC–cyberloafing relationship via anxiety. Practical implications The research findings demonstrate that FOC is positively associated with anxiety and cyberloafing. The disruptive nature of FOC in the workplace has been revealed. Furthermore, this study provides valuable suggestions for managers on how to reduce employee FOC and cyberloafing. Originality/value Using the job stress process model, this study investigates whether (main effect), how (a mediating mechanism) and when (boundary condition) FOC drives cyberloafing, deepening the understanding of the relationship between FOC and cyberloafing.
从众表象与网络闲逛:一个有调节的中介模型
尽管以往的研究强调了从众表象(FOC)对态度、情绪和感觉的影响,但对其对行为的负面影响知之甚少。本研究利用工作压力过程模型来考察FOC与网络闲游之间的关系,并探讨焦虑如何作为影响网络闲游的潜在机制。设计/方法/方法共185名中国企业员工参与了两波问卷调查。研究发现,FOC和网络闲逛之间存在正相关关系,并指出焦虑在这种关系中起中介作用。研究还发现,绩效回避目标取向调节了焦虑与焦虑之间的关系,以及焦虑与网络闲逛关系通过焦虑的间接影响。研究结果表明,FOC与焦虑和网络闲逛呈正相关。FOC在工作场所的破坏性已经被揭示出来。此外,本研究对管理者如何减少员工的FOC和网络闲逛提供了有价值的建议。本研究运用工作压力过程模型,考察FOC是否(主效应)、如何(中介机制)以及何时(边界条件)驱动网络懒惰,加深对FOC与网络懒惰之间关系的理解。
