Therefore, the present study builds previous cyberloafing investigations in three primary ways. First, we utilize a person-situation framework compare personological situational construct domains. Second, extend nomological network by investigating previously unexamined, yet powerful, predictors. Third, employ multivariate approach identify most important antecedents. From seven constructs, found that boredom, logical reasoning, interpersonal conflict were correlates. Our results highlight novel, predictors allow us provide empirically-based recommendations for developing interventions.
