Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to better understand the effect of workplace ostracism on cyberloafing by examining the mediating effect of moral disengagement. The role of organisational commitment as a moderator of the association between workplace ostracism and cyberloafing is also examined. Design/methodology/approach The proposed hypotheses are tested with survey data collected from 243 employees among public listed companies in Malaysia. Data are analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. Findings The results show that workplace ostracism has a significant positive influence on cyberloafing. Furthermore, it is observed that workplace ostracism serves as a mediating factor in the link between workplace ostracism and cyberloafing. Finally, organisational commitment is revealed to have no significant moderating effect on the relationship between workplace ostracism and cyberloafing. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to build and test a model based on social cognitive theory that examines the fundamental mechanisms through which workplace ostracism influences cyberloafing.

目的通过考察道德脱离的中介作用，更好地理解职场排斥对网络闲逛的影响。组织承诺作为工作场所排斥和网络闲逛之间的关联的调节器的作用也被检查。设计/方法/方法提出的假设是通过对马来西亚上市公司243名员工的调查数据进行检验的。数据分析采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型。研究结果表明，职场排斥对网络闲逛有显著的正向影响。此外，我们还观察到，工作场所排斥是工作场所排斥与网络闲逛之间联系的中介因素。最后，研究发现组织承诺对工作场所排斥与网络闲逛的关系没有显著的调节作用。原创性/价值据作者所知，这是第一个建立和测试基于社会认知理论的模型的研究，该模型检验了工作场所排斥影响网络闲逛的基本机制。
