摘要

The rise of digital technologies has made cyberloafing a discreet, self-monitored challenge that traditional policies and surveillance often fail to address. Drawing on Conservation of Resources theory, this study examines how servant leadership can reduce cyberloafing both directly and indirectly through employees’ sense of belonging. Additionally, we propose that moral attentiveness moderates these relationships, enhancing the impact of servant leadership on reducing cyberloafing. Using time-lagged survey data from 303 employee-students across 15 public sector universities in KSA, the findings support a negative association between servant leadership and cyberloafing. Results also confirm the mediating role of sense of belonging and the moderating effect of moral attentiveness. These insights contribute to leadership, organizational behavior, and digital-era workplace literature, offering practical guidance for fostering more ethical and engaged work environments.
