Abstract: The excessive use of the internet for non-work-related activities is a form of white-collar deviant behaviour at work. Applying the Theory of Reasoned Action, structural equation modelling was used to predict Cyber-Production (CP) deviant behaviours in the workplace. Attitude and intention to visit non-work-related websites were found to be important predictors of such behaviours. Workplace Subjective Norms (SN) had no impact on the tendency to perform CP deviant activities but did influence intention to visit work-related websites. The findings of the study contributed to an expanded understanding of the potential predictors of CP deviance in the workplace and suggested appropriate strategies for effective internet management.
