THE INFLUENCE OF WORKLOAD AND JOB STRESS ON CYBERLOAFING BEHAVIOR AMONG EMPLOYEES OF PT KARYA INDAH ALAM SEJAHTERA
Downloads
The rapid development of information technology has transformed workplace dynamics, yet it also increases the risk of non-work internet use, known as cyberloafing. This behavior emerges when employees access digital platforms for personal purposes during working hours, potentially reducing productivity and disrupting organizational performance. This study examines the influence of workload and job stress on cyberloafing behavior among employees of PT Karya Indah Alam Sejahtera. The research employed a quantitative causal design using saturated sampling, involving 50 employees as respondents. Data were collected through Likert-based questionnaires measuring workload, job stress, and cyberloafing, and were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that workload has a significant positive effect on cyberloafing, suggesting that excessive mental, physical, and time-related demands encourage employees to seek short-term psychological relief through online activities. Meanwhile, job stress did not show a significant direct effect on cyberloafing, implying that stress may manifest through other coping mechanisms beyond digital diversion. The simultaneous regression test confirmed that workload and job stress together influence cyberloafing behavior. The study concludes that managing workload distribution is essential to reducing cyberloafing and maintaining employee productivity. Future research is recommended to explore additional psychological and organizational factors that may mediate cyberloafing tendencies.
