Abstract

In this research, it was aimed to investigate the behaviours of cyberloafing as a recreational activity in desk job workers. 436 academic and administrative staff from Afyon Kocatepe University participated in the research. As a data collection tool, developed by Akca (2013) “Internet Usage Activities Scale” and “Reasons for Internet Usage apart from Work Scale” were used in the study. In the data analysis, in addition to descriptive statistics, Independent Samples T Test and One Way ANOVA were used. Regarding the internet usage of the participants, the highest mean value was found in the factor “internet usage open to abuse”. It can be said that the participants mostly used internet for “research” in the internet usage apart from their works.
