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.

Using the Five-factor model of personality and Need for Cognition, the authors investigated the relationship between personality and Web usage. Of the five factors, Openness to Experience and Neuroticism showed the greatest association to Web usage. Openness to Experience was positively related to using the Web for entertainment and product information, while Neuroticism was negatively related to Web usage. Need for Cognition was significantly and positively correlated with all Web activities involving cognitive thought.
