Abstract

University provides Internet in the campus to enhance students ' learning during lectures. However, students use the Internet in the classrooms not only for academic tasks but also for non-academic purposes. The use of the Internet for non-academic purposes during class is defined as cyber slacking. The term cyber slacking was firstly used in the working environment and it is considered as counterproductive behaviour in organizations. Referring to an educational setting, cyber slacking will make students unproductive in learning. This current study aims to explore cyber slacking behaviour among university students in academic settings. There were 385 university students who participated in this survey. Results show that cyber slacking behaviour correlates with Internet habit strength and media multitasking efficacy. The more habitual students are to the Internet the more likely they are to engage in cyber slacking activities during lectures. Students who are confident in media multitasking also tend to cybcr slack in the classrooms. The findings also describe that self-regulated learning does not correlate with cyber slacking. Further research on cyber slacking behaviour in university settings should be conducted to identify potential factors that prevent cyber slacking behaviour in the university classrooms.
