Hi,
The *Australasian Journal of In*formation Systems has just published its latest article.
*The Impact of Ambivalent Perception of Bureaucratic Structure on Cyberloafing. * * Soral, P., Arayankalam, J., & Pandey, J.*
*https://doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v24i0.2087 https://doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v24i0.2087* *Abstract* Cyberloafing, defined as the use of the Internet for personal use at the workplace, is emerging as a serious concern for organizations as it disrupts the attainment of organizational outcomes. A systematic literature review of antecedents of cyberloafing behaviour showed that research exploring the relationship between the perception of organizational structure and cyberloafing is in a nascent stage. Acknowledging the underexplored state of research in this area, we investigated this relationship through a quantitative study using a sample of 201 employees, and the containment theory as the base. Our study results indicate that an ambivalent perception of the bureaucratic structure has a differential impact on the cyberloafing activities through serial mediation of two important attitudes, namely organizational identification and work engagement. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.
*Keywords*: cyberloafing; enabling bureaucracy; coercive bureaucracy; organizational identification; work engagement

AJIS publishes high quality contributions to the global Information Systems (IS) discipline with an emphasis on theory and practice on the Australasian context.
Topics cover core IS theory development and application (the nature of data, information and knowledge; formal representations of the world, the interaction of people, organisations and information technologies; the analysis, design and deployment of information systems; the impacts of information systems on individuals, organisations and society), IS domains (e-business, e-government, e-learning, e-law, etc) and IS research approaches.
Research and conceptual development based in a very wide range of epistemological methods are welcomed.
All manuscripts undergo double blind reviewing by at least 2 well qualified reviewers. Their task is to provide constructive, fair, and timely advice to authors and editor.
AJIS welcomes research and conceptual development of the IS discipline based in a very wide range of epistemologies. Different types of research paper need to be judged by different criteria. Here are some assessment criteria that may be applied:
• Relevance - topic or focus is part of the IS discipline. • Effectiveness - paper makes a significant contribution to the IS body of knowledge. • Impact - paper will be used for further research and/or practice. • Uniqueness - paper is innovative, original & unique. • Conceptual soundness - theory, model or framework made explicit. • Argument - design of the research or investigation is sound; methods appropriate. • Clarity - Topic is clearly stated; illustrations, charts & examples support content. • Reliability - data available; replication possible. • References - sound, used appropriately, and sufficient – appropriate AJIS articles referenced • Style - appropriate language, manuscript flows.
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
