Abstract:
Intentional misuses of technology in classroom environment raised serious concerns in recent years. Because of the widespread proliferation of technology misuse, researchers called for more research into the dark sides of technology use, such as managing cyberloafing behavior. In this study, we seek to gain a deeper understanding of the cyberloafing phenomenon in classroom. Using the Dark Triad personality traits and several domain-specific technology use factors, we propose a model and test using a sample of 974 participants. We report several interesting findings and discuss implications for researchers and practitioners in the context of better and productive classroom learning environment.
