Scholars and practitioners lay emphasis on determinants of cyberloafing
behavior as a possibly powerful management issue due to its impact on
organizations as well as on productivity losses. However the determinants of
cyberloafing in educational institutions are yet to be investigated. Drawing from
the theory of interpersonal behavior, the aim of the research study is to identify
the factors affecting the cyberloafing behavior of teachers working in both
public and private sector universities. The theory of Interpersonal Behavior
(TIB) is used to measure the factors affecting the cyberloafing behavior of
teachers. Data was collected using non probability convenience sampling
technique from different public and private sector universities. Usable sample
size from both public and private sector universities was 175. The PLS path
modeling technique was used for data analysis. Results indicate that all factors
influence the cyberloafing behavior differs significantly between public and
private sector universities. The social factor effect is even stronger in private
universities than expected. Furthermore, the study assesses the relationships
between the latent variables of the TIB model and finds a significant, strong,
and positive link between in both groups of universities. The study provides the
new insight into the nature of factors specially affecting the teachers’
cyberloafing behavior in public and private sector universities. The findings of
this study can be helpful for an educational institution for formulating strategies
to restrict cyberloafing behavior. The paper is of great value for educational
institutions in worth itself.
