Cyberloafing refers to the practice of employees using the Internet for non-work-related purposes during working hours. This study aims to develop a measurement scale for cyberloafing among employees, specifically those working in Indonesia. The research was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, items were developed through a literature review, theme selection using qualitative research, expert review, and item readability testing. The results from this stage were then used in the second stage, which involved psychometric testing of the instruments using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). A total of 726 administrative employees from seven state universities in a major city on Java Island, Indonesia, participated in the study. The EFA test, conducted on 300 respondents, revealed a four-factor structure consistent with the construct. Subsequently, CFA was performed on 426 respondents, confirming the model's adequacy with four factors: entertainment, interaction, transaction, and recreation. The EFA results, validated by the CFA test, indicated that these factors accounted for 45.98 % of entertainment, 9.40 % of interaction, 6.36 % of transactions, and 5.15 % of recreation in cyberloafing behavior. The findings demonstrate that the Employee Workplace Cyberloafing Scale (EWCS) is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing cyberloafing among Indonesian workers. The EWCS serves as a versatile tool for both government and private sectors, providing critical insights into personal internet usage during work hours. Beyond mere monitoring, it reveals patterns indicative of addictive online behavior, empowering organizations to develop tailored intervention programs that address and mitigate employee mental health challenges.
网络偷懒是指员工在工作时间利用互联网进行与工作无关的活动。本研究旨在开发一种针对员工，特别是印度尼西亚员工的网络偷懒测量量表。该研究分两个阶段进行。在第一阶段，通过文献综述、定性研究主题选择、专家评审和项目可读性测试来开发量表项目。然后将这一阶段的结果用于第二阶段，即使用探索性因素分析（EFA）和验证性因素分析（CFA）对工具进行心理测量测试。来自印度尼西亚爪哇岛一个大城市的七所国立大学的726名行政员工参与了这项研究。对300名受访者进行的EFA测试揭示了与构想一致的四因素结构。随后，对426名受访者进行了CFA，确认了该模型在娱乐、互动、交易和娱乐四个因素方面的充分性。经CFA测试验证的EFA结果表明，这些因素在网络偷懒行为中分别占娱乐因素的45.98%、互动因素的9.40%、交易因素的6.36%和娱乐因素的5.15%。研究结果表明，员工工作场所网络偷懒量表（EWCS）是评估印度尼西亚员工网络偷懒行为的有效且可靠工具。EWCS对政府和私营部门而言都是一种多功能工具，能提供有关员工工作时间个人互联网使用情况的关键见解。除了单纯的监测外，它还揭示了表明成瘾性在线行为的模式，使组织能够制定针对性的干预计划，以应对和缓解员工的心理健康挑战。
