Cyberloafing is as counterproductive behavior because it is the act of using internet for personal purposes which can affect employees' productivity, especially when done excessively (more than 4 hours a week). The objective of this study was to analyze whether gender and education level had significant effect on cyberloafing among generations in the workplace. From 267 respondents, gender was not found to have impact on cyberloafing because female and male respondents had the same frequency of low level cyberloafing. However, female had higher excessive cyberloafing than male. Gen Y had significant impact on the relationship between education and cyberloafing but Gen Y with diploma degree was revealed to have excessive cyberloafing. Furthermore, Gen X had started combining professional and personal lives throughout their daily lives. Hence, organizations should foster a culture of hard work by giving challenging job with clear target and worthy incentive but still implementing internet usage policy.

Organization members often use the Internet for non-work purposes during work hours, which is called cyberloafing. Certain types of cyberloafing (e.g., webhard, adult, and gambling sites access) can be a major cause of malware infection, which can ultimately generate significant damages to organizations. It therefore is important to examine the relationship between cyberloafing and cybersecurity risks of organizations. We analyzed log data from an internet filtering system of a financial institute and found that the more employees access to blacklist sites, the higher the possibility of malicious code infection. In other words, cyberloafing increases cybersecurity risks of organizations. We suggest that organizations need to monitor and control their members' internet use in an appropriate way.
