| Summary | The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between personality and organizational commitment with cyberloafing. Results indicate that all personality factors (conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, openness to experience, and emotional stability) were negatively correlated with cyberloafing, however, only conscientiousness was significant. Although they were not significant, affective and normative commitment were negatively correlated whereas continuance commitment was positively correlated with cyberloafing. Multiple linear regression was used to create a model with personality factors, organizational commitment components, and age accounting for 55.8% of the variance in cyberloafing frequency. The theoretical implications of the results are discussed. |
