摘要

将互联网融入包括公共部门在内的企业运营的各个方面正迅速成为一种常态。然而,在这一不断发展的格局中,网络游离问题(滥用互联网进行未经授权的活动)不容忽视。在发展中国家,特别是在加纳,关于网络游离的现有研究主要集中在高等教育学生身上。对发展中国家网络游荡相关文献的简要研究表明,这些文献普遍强调对网络游荡活动进行分类,而对此类行为的动机和威慑力却缺乏深入了解。本文以一般威慑理论为框架,深入探讨了加纳公共部门中威慑网络游离行为的潜在因素。通过使用偏最小二乘法结构方程模型,本研究分析了从加纳各地公共机构收集的 473 份回复数据。研究结果表明,确定性、监控和安全风险等因素对加纳公共部门员工的网络休闲行为表现有重大影响。然而,研究发现制裁的严重性和快速性并不影响网络逃逸行为。年龄和文化对威慑建构和网络逃逸行为的调节作用各不相同。本研究为遏制许多公共部门机构(尤其是全球南部地区的公共部门机构)中猖獗的网络逃逸活动提供了一个战略框架。从本质上讲,本研究不仅有助于了解加纳公共部门的网络游离行为,还为设计有针对性的干预措施来解决这一问题提供了宝贵的基础,最终促进这些机构内更有成效、更负责任的在线参与。

Cyberloafing deterrence in the public sector of Ghana

The integration of the Internet into various aspects of business operations, including the public sector, is rapidly becoming a norm. However, within this evolving landscape, the issue of cyberloafing, the misuse of the internet for unauthorized activities, cannot be ignored. Existing research on cyberloafing in developing countries, specifically in Ghana, has predominantly focused on higher education students. A brief examination of the literature pertaining to cyberloafing in developing nations reveals a prevalent emphasis on categorizing cyberloafing activities, often with limited insight into the motivations and deterrence of such behavior. Drawing on the framework of the General Deterrence theory, this paper delves into the underlying factors that deter cyberloafing behavior within the public sector of Ghana. Through the utilization of a partial least square structural equation model, the study analyzed data from 473 responses collected from public institutions across Ghana. The study revealed that factors such as certainty, monitoring, and security risks significantly influence the manifestation of cyberloafing behavior among employees in the Ghanaian public sector. However, the Severity and Celerity of sanctions were found not to influence cyberloafing behavior. The moderating effect of age and culture on the deterrent constructs and cyberloafing behavior vary. The study serves as a strategic framework to curd the rampant cyberloafing activities in many public sector institutions particularly in the global south. In essence, this study contributes not only to the understanding of cyberloafing behavior in the Ghanaian public sector but also provides a valuable foundation for designing targeted interventions to address this issue, ultimately fostering a more productive and responsible online engagement within these institutions.
