dc.description.abstractDespite extensive research on cyberslacking, the indirect mechanisms through which strain and coping strategies drive it remain underexplored. Grounded in multiple theoretical frameworks, this study employs the stressor-strain-outcome (SSO) model to explain how IT-based work-home conflict (stressor) leads to cyberslacking (outcome) via techno-exhaustion (strain) and Internet addiction (coping response). A survey of 493 white-collar employees was analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results confirmed that IT-based work-home conflict increases cyberslacking solely indirectly through techno-exhaustion and Internet addiction, indicating that cyberslacking surfaces as a result of a sequential coping response. Specifically, Internet addiction emerges as a response to techno-exhaustion and is positively associated with cyberslacking. Overall, this study positions cyberslacking as a coping mechanism rather than a pure deviant behavior. It also introduces an updated scale for measuring contemporary cyberslacking behaviors. Collectively, the findings show the dual role of ICT in human-computer interaction, creating strain and providing coping opportunities simultaneously.
