Servant Leadership and Employees’ Cyberloafing: A Moderated Mediation Analysis

Building on social cognitive theory, the present study proposes a negative relationship between servant leadership and employees’ cyberloafing. Furthermore, the study proposes an indirect relationship between servant leadership and cyberloafing via the sense of belongingness to the organization. The study also proposes the moderation effect of moral attentiveness on the direct link between servant leadership and cyberloafing and the indirect link between servant leadership and cyberloafing via the sense of belongingness to the organization. Using time lag survey data collected from the 303 employees enrolled as students in large universities in KSA, the findings showed that all the hypothesized relationships were supported. The present study contributes to the different streams of literature as well as offers several useful suggestions for managers and organizations.
