Abstract
Due to the rise of Internet and Communication Technologies (ICTs), it is increasingly more common for employees to spend time on non-work-related digital activities at work. A vast literature base exists that is devoted to the potential adverse effect of such activities in the form of cyberloafing. However, not much is known about the positive outcomes of such activities conceptualized as digital leisure. The present review systematically examines the literature on digital leisure activities and how these contribute to positive outcomes in the workplace. Additionally, possible moderating and mediating variables are investigated. Using Preferred the Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework, eight studies were identified that met inclusion criteria. The results indicate that resource recovery processes and employee well-being, as well as employee productivity are positively associated with digital leisure in the workplace. Age was found to moderate the relationship between digital leisure and self-reported employee productivity, while employee satisfaction was found to mediate the relationship between digital leisure and employee productivity. Future research directions are outlined and implications for the work context are discussed. Keywords: digital leisure, employee productivity, employee well-being, workplace, cyberloafing, systematic literature review
