Scholars are increasingly focusing on the adverse effects of digitization on human lives in personal and professional contexts. Cyberloafing is one such effect and digitization-related workplace behavior that has garnered attention in both academic and mainstream media. This chapter aims to understand the specific loafing activities and its effects on employee productivity in India, one of the most populated and largest developing economies. To achieve this goal, the research involved conducting field research among employees in both private and public sectors in Haryana, India, with a primary focus on those employed in the medium-sized education and healthcare business sectors. The data were collected from 300 respondents through questionnaires and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to determine the impact. The studys results suggest that engaging in cyberloafing activities like maintaining social networks, playing online games, online dating, shopping online, and using the internet for non-work purposes while at the workplace has a modest yet notable adverse impact on employee productivity. To put it differently, when employees indulge in social, leisure, and virtual activities, it has a detrimental effect on their productivity. These research findings offer valuable insights to organizations regarding the types of cyberloafing activities employees are involved in and how they influence employee productivity, encompassing factors like attendance, work quality, performance capability, and personal aspects. 2026 Divya, Timilehin Olasoji Olubiyi and Mahabir Narwal Subject The topic of the resource AI; Competition; Cyberloafing; cyberloafing activities; cyberslacking; D12; employee productivity; goldbricking; innovation; L81; M31; Policy; Robots; SMEs; Start-ups Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Emerald Publishing Relation A related resource ISSN: 20407246; Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Article Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Restricted Access; Hardcopy may be available in the library Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource online
