Contributing to significant business opportunities and the enhancement of employees' productivity, the Internet has changed how work is done. These benefits, including cost reductions, decreased product cycle times, and easier access to information are not without a downside. The use of the Internet in the workplace has also raised concerns regarding privacy, productivity losses, and organizational liability as a result of employees' Internet activities (Lim & Teo, 2005). Although the Internet is often seen as one of the greatest contributions of the 21st century, it also provides workers with a new way to idle on the job - nonwork-related usage of the Internet during work time, or "cyberloafing," and as much as 40% of productivity can be lost as a result of employee cyberloafing (Verton, 2000). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between cyberloafing behavior and personality in an effort to contribute to the academic understanding of the phenomenon, as well as to contribute to managerial practices. We theorized that personality would play a large role in predicting individuals' tendencies to engage in cyberloafing behavior. To test this, we developed a survey instrument, using previously validated instruments for measuring personality and cyberloafing behavior, and distributed it to working adults. We performed a series of regressions to examine the relationship between the Big Five personality dimensions and demographics on cyberloafing behavior. We found that personality does have an important impact on cyberloafing behavior, showing that personality explains cyberloafing behavior over and above demographic variables. When controlling for demographics, emotional stability had a significant, negative relationship with cyberloafing and extraversion had a significant, positive relationship with cyberloafing. A forward regression without demographics included found that conscientiousness, extraversion, and agreeableness were all significant predictors of cyberloafing, with these relationships inverse for conscientiousness and agreeableness. Among demographics, gender, age, and internet usage policies were all significant predictors, such that cyberloafing was reduced among women, older employees, and when organizations had internet usage policies. Additionally, we found a marginally significant tendency for extraverted individuals to engage in more socially-oriented cyberloafing activities. The primary contribution of this study comes from taking the crucial first step of identifying the relationship between personality and cyberloafing behavior. The findings of this study allows for proactive and reactive managerial strategies. This understanding of cyberloafing behavior can be used as a tool to identify possible threats within the existing employees, and, by observing the frequency of each of the different types of cyberloafing activities, organizations can devise strategies to mitigate cyberloafing behavior.
