Research has indicated that permitting employees to utilize computer resources for personal use actually increases productivity. Moreover, a study by the
National University of Singapore entitled
Cyberloafing at the workplace: gain or drain on work? concluded that using the internet for personal use served the same purpose as a coffee break and helped workers concentrate and stay engaged. Additionally, new research also shows that employees might use cyberloafing to cope with abusive and stressful conditions in the workplace when they perceive that they are being treated unfairly, disrespected, or given unreasonable deadlines. == See also ==
