Abstract

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