<![CDATA[This research discusses the phenomenon of cyberslacking among organizational students during online learning in the Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of the study is to explore the forms and reasons why organizational students engage in cyberslacking. This exploratory qualitative study involved 100 organizational students (16% male; 84% female) who participated in online learning at University X Semarang. Data were collected using a Google Form (open and closed questions) distributed through social media platforms. The results showed that the majority of organizational students engaged in cyberslacking by accessing social media platforms such as WhatsApp (25.5%), LINE (19.8%), and Instagram (19.5%), and common forms of cyberslacking activities were chatting (47.6%), scrolling (28%), and seeking entertainment (18.2%). Organizational students engaged in cyberslacking due to feeling bored (50%), having urgent matters (18%), and feeling tired (13%). Although they felt entertained, organizational students also felt guilty, worried, and unfocused during cyberslacking activities. Organizational students perceived their role as having responsibilities, wanting to apply knowledge, and being useful, so sometimes they had to engage in cyberslacking when there were important notifications related to their organization. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of self-regulation in learning for organizational students and the role of educational institutions in ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of online learning.]]>
