A Critical Study of Factors Promoting Cyberloafing in Organizations

With recent advancements in employee surveillance systems monitoring employee activities, there is still a huge gap in the prevention of cyberloafing activities within an organization. Cyberloafing not only discloses the effectiveness of organizational usage policy but the practices that employees follow. This paper aims to identify the factors that support cyberloafing through a proper review. As a part of the review process, we will draw observations as to how cyberloafing depends on those said factors.
