Abstract: Cyberloafing is the voluntary acts of individuals using their companies’ Internet access for nonwork related purposes during working hours. This study examines the impact of personality traits on cyberloafing as measured objectively by time spent by individuals on non-work related purposes. Specifically, we investigated (1) the main effects of Big-Five personality traits (Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Extroversion, Neuroticism, and Openness to Experience) on time spent on cyberloafing, and (2) the interaction effect of Extroversion and Conscientiousness on time spent on cyberloafing. Results show that only agreeableness and extroversion significantly predicted time spent on cyberloafing. In addition, results indicate that conscientiousness interacted with extroversion in predicting cyberloafing. Implications of our findings are discussed. Collapse

Abstract: Managers are responsible for creating and enforcing company policies governing organizational practices, and one practice that is on the rise in organizations involves monitoring of employees for security purposes. The research literature on security behaviors has focused almost exclusively on compliance with or obedience to such policies; however, compliance with prescribed behaviors is not complete in terms of organizational performance. People may comply with policies with which they disagree, but harbor resentments and exhibit counterproductive and even destructive behaviors in protest. We conducted a field study of organizational monitoring policies and practices using factors from the threat control model and found that perceptions of threat, self-efficacy, and trust in the organization were key factors in attitudes about monitoring, and that these factors interacted with employee perceptions of organizational procedural justice such that high perceptions of organizational procedural justice moderated negative attitudes toward corporate monitoring, and better attitudes about monitoring was found to associate with reduced employee absences from the job.
