Abstract
In recent years the phenomenon
of cyberloafing has become an
endemic problem of concern for
organizations. The ease of access
to internet at the workplace, has
amplified the dominance of
cyberloafing as a workplace
deviant behavior. In this article
the authors have attempted to investigate
the prevalence of the
phenomenon and its effect on employees’
perceptions of potency
and conflict within teams. A
sample of 209 persons, with work
experience, was examined
through survey research method.
Regression analyses and AMOS
21 was used to test the relationship
between cyberloafing and
aforementioned variables. The
results confirmed the impact of
cyberloafing on team potency
(negative) and conflict (positive).
The findings have significant implications
for academicians and
practitioners in the industry.
