Abstract

Our study was initiated to provide a better understanding of the factors influencing employees' non-work-related computing (NWRC) behavior by comparing two models, one based on Triandis' theory of interpersonal behavior (TIB) and the other derived from the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Results of the study showed that the TIB-based model had higher explanatory power than the TPB-based model. Specifically, affect, social factors, and perceived consequences significantly influenced employees' intention to engage in NWRC, while intention to engage in it, habit, and facilitating conditions determined employees' NWRC behavior. Implications of these findings are discussed.
