Abstract
Due to the prevalence of the Internet and the increasing use of technology by individuals and organizations, deviant and unrelated behaviors in organizations have increased and organizations have faced serious challenges. Online activities performed for personal and non-business purposes are called Cyberloafing and the purpose of this study is to provide a model of Cyber loafing antecedents and examine its consequences. The research is applied in terms of purpose and correlational in terms of nature and the method is causal descriptive. The statistical population was the staff of Hormozgan province. The data collection tool is a questionnaire whose reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha of 0.89. Data analysis was performed using Amos 22. The results show that job stress and emotional analysis directly affect cyberloafing, and rejection and private demand are other prerequisites for Cyber loafing that indirectly affect it. The findings also showed that Cyber loafing has a positive effect on job burnout.
