Abstract

Productivity is the main goal of every organisation. Some deviant behaviors can easily reduce the productivity in organizations. Cyberloafing is the one of the deviant behaviors. In cyberloafing, personnel use computer work non-work purposes. In this research, we focused on preventing of cyberloafing in the specific municipality. To understand preventing, we test moderated mediation model and in our model, hierarchy culture moderates the relationship of mediation model amongst physical distance of leader, social control and cyberloafing. We gather data from 161 bureau personnel in municipality. According to results of mediation analysis, physical distance of leader can reduce cyberloafing behavior but social control act as a supressor variable that increase the cyberloafing behavior. In moderation process, hierarchy culture significantly moderates the relationship between physical distance of leader and social control. The results show that social control mechanism is not effective than physical distance of leader. Also, These social control mechanisms supress the leaders effectiveness and hierachy culture increase the indirect effect of social control.
