Abstract


Research on Burn-out Syndrome and Innovative Work Behavior as a Result of Cyberloafing has conducted survey with the sample populations of 385 employees, aged more than 18 yrs. who works in public and business sector, Thailand. The purpose is to study the influence of cyberloafing toward the creative thinking and burn-out syndrome in order to create the suggestion on how to promote and support the innovative work behavior of employee. The statistics used in data analysis are descriptive statistics (mean, percentage, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Structure Equation Modelling: SEM). Different demographic factors do not affect different innovative behavior/ burn-out syndrome but affect different cyberloafing. Different demographic factors have an indirect effect on innovative behavior via cyberloafing.  Cyberloafing could increase the innovative behavior of employee. Different demographic factors do not indirectly affect burn-out syndrome through cyberloafing.  The cyberloafing is not the reason for burn-out syndrome. The result could be used to support the idea of not to totally prohibit the employee from cyberloafing, but to support them in an appropriate time.  The cyberloafing is the way to encourage innovation idea and reduce the burn-out syndrome among employee.
