Abstract:

The study wants to explore the concept of cyber-loafing as well as its effects on employees’ job performance and whether it has beneficial or detrimental outcomes. The objectives of the study are (1) to determine the level of cyberloafing towards job performance; (2) to assess the significant difference in job performance among the levels of cyberloafing; (3) to assess the significant relationship between cyber-loafing and the job performance of EAC employees; and (4) to offer recommendations based on the study's conclusions. For this study, a survey questionnaire was utilized to elicit information from (86) eighty-six respondents with the help of SPSS as its statistical tool. In contrast to previous studies indicating the detrimental effects of cyber-loafing, like preventing employees from concentrating properly and efficiently on a particular activity, thus affecting their work productivity and efficacy, cyber-loafing has a moderate effect on employees’ ability to accomplish their job, which is good for their personal growth as well as for their productivity. As a result, the employee's job performance was judged to be good. Therefore, there is a significant difference between cyber-loafing and job performance. Furthermore, there is a significant relationship between cyberloafing and job performance.
