Abstract:The study focuses on cyberloafing - the act of employees using their companies' internet access for personal purposes during work hours. Cyberloafing present a form of production deviance. Using the theoretical networks offered by social exchange, organizational justice and neutralization, the authors examine the often-neglected dark side of the internet and the role that neutralization techniques play in facilitating this misbehaviour at the workplace. They developed a model which suggested that when individuals perceived their organizations to be distributively, procedurally and interactionally unjust, they were likely to to invoke the metaphor of the ledger as a neutralization technique to legatimize their subsiquent engagement in the act of cyberloafing.
