Personal Web Page Usage in Organization

Abstract

This chapter presents an empirical investigation of why employees use the Internet for personal purpose during work hours. We are especially interested in perceptual difference between personal Web usage groups and non-personal Web usage groups in the context of non-work-related usage of the Internet. Drawing from previous studies in behavioral intention and human attitude, criminology, and moral and ethical decision-making, a comprehensive model was developed and tested through a field survey of 546 business professionals.
