Özet
Siber aylaklık, bir işyerinde mesai saatleri içinde internetin işle ilgili olmayan faaliyetler için kullanılmasıdır. Bu bağlamda, işle ilgili olmayan web sitelerine göz atmak, e-posta kullanmak, çevrimiçi oyun oynamak veya sosyal ağ sitelerinde etkileşimde bulunmak gibi aktiviteler siber aylaklık kapsamında değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışma saatleri boyunca, çalışanların iş ile ilgili görevleri yerine getirmeleri beklenmektedir. Ancak teknolojinin artan kullanımına bağlı olarak siber aylaklık tüm dünyada giderek yaygınlaşmakta ve artan bir tehdit haline gelmektedir. Siber aylaklık yapan birey, siber kaytarmacı olarak adlandırılırken, yapılan eylem ise siber aylaklık olarak tanımlanır. Bu tezin odak noktası siber aylaklıktır. Tezin temel amacı, öğretmenlerin siber aylaklık davranışlarının demografik değişkenlere göre farklılık gösterip göstermediğini belirlemektir. Veriler, Cibuti'deki çeşitli lise ve üniversitelerde görev yapan 264 öğretmen ve akademisyenden çevrimiçi bir anket formu aracılığıyla toplanmış ve toplanan veriler IBM SPSS programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular, siber aylaklığın; yaş, medeni durum, deneyim, görev yapılan kurumun türü ve katılımcının kullandığı internetin türü değişkenlerine göre farklılık gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca, kadın çalışanların siber aylaklıktan işe geçiş süresinin erkeklere göre daha yüksek olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Öte yandan, siber aylaklık davranışlarının; cinsiyet, statü ve internete erişim araçları açısından farklılık göstermediği tespit edilmiştir.
