Author:
Abstract: Providing employees with internet access can be a double-edged sword. While the integration of computerization and internet technology has transformed the workplace, it has also contributed to increased tendencies for employee procrastination. This study aims to examine the vulnerability of job roles and work environments to cyberloafing behavior and its impact on employee performance. The study involved a total population of 60 employees, all of whom were included as research participants. Data was collected using a survey method, with a questionnaire serving as the research instrument. The analysis was conducted using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique. The findings reveal that job insecurity significantly influences cyberloafing behavior, the work environment has a significant impact on employee performance, job insecurity also affects performance, the work environment contributes to performance outcomes, and cyberloafing behavior significantly influences the work environment. The novelty of this research lies in its consistent evidence that cyberloafing is widespread and poses a major obstacle to corporate productivity.
