dc.description.abstract | work time by workers has been a major concern by organizations.
Drawing from construal level theory, this paper takes an individual traitbased
approach and investigates the impact of personality trait
consideration of future consequences (CFC) on cyberloafing.
Specifically, it was argued that while general traits, like the “Big Five,”
will be significant predictors of employee’s cyberloafing, other
personality traits such as CFC, will have additional explanatory power
on why employee engaged in Cyberloafing. Survey data was collected
online from 188 working adults in Nigeria. SmartPLS SEM 2.0 (M3) was
applied to test the hypotheses that comprised both consideration of future
consequences immediate (CFC-I) and consideration of future
consequences future (CFC-F) on Cyberloafing and consequently
bootstrapping was conducted to investigate the standard error of the
estimate and t-values. The model tested suggests as expected that
consideration of future consequences future (CFC-F) negatively related
to cyberloafing and consideration of future consequences immediate
(CFC-I) positively predict cyberloafing. This paper adds further
theoretical support to the utility of CFC construct, construal level theory
and cyberloafing literature. Finally, the study implications for research,
managerial practice, future directions and study limitations are
discussed. | en_US |
