This book examines cyberloafing: employees' use of internet-enabled technologies for personal purposes during paid working time. It addresses a familiar but often misunderstood feature of contemporary work: checking messages, browsing news, using social media, shopping online, or engaging in other non-work digital activity while at work. Rather than treating cyberloafing simply as wasted time or misconduct, the book shows that its meaning depends on context. It may signal boredom, overload, weak engagement, poor role clarity, lack of recovery, or, in some cases, more serious withdrawal from work. The book combines theoretical synthesis, measurement development, cross-cultural comparison, and empirical studies. It develops a clear conceptual framework, validates the CBLS-15 Cyberloafing Scale, and examines cyberloafing across different national contexts, including Poland, Italy, and the United States. It also considers how hybrid work, digital monitoring, and artificial intelligence are changing the boundaries between work, recovery, distraction, and disengagement. The practical contribution is a more balanced approach to managing personal internet use at work. The book argues that broad restrictions and close monitoring are often insufficient and may create additional problems. Instead, organizations need better diagnosis, work design, leadership practices, recovery structures, and ethically responsible digital governance.
