Abstract

Using digital technologies to conduct work outside work-hours, a phenomenon called digital connectivity (DCON), is a prevalent behavior in the post-epidemic era. Despite growing research on DCON, little is known about why and how DCON may induce employee deviant behaviors. Using a comparative test of moral licensing and social exchange views, this article examines the link between DCON and workplace deviance, cyberloafing. Data from two multiwave studies confirm that psychological entitlement mediates the association between DCON and cyberloafing and the moderating effect of external motivation.
