Abstract
AbstractOver the last two decades, an increasingly complex work context of personal and work activities has blurred the foundations on which the concept of cyberloafing was traditionally based. It is no coincidence that Lim and Teo's recent review on cyberloafing refines the original construct defined by Lim and proposes new directions for determining its impact. The present commentary aims to offer additional discussion on these two aspects. First, the author aims to examine the conceptual architecture of cyberloafing by considering alternative perspectives. In contrast to conceptualizing cyberloafing traditionally by determining its boundaries such as engagement in online activities during working time and for personal purposes, the author also directly focuses on engagement in offline activities, which determines the behavioral features that are within its boundaries. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of combining these online and offline perspectives to provide a detailed assessment of the online and offline impacts of cyberloafing.
