Employee conduct significantly impacts an organization's performance and productivity, as employees are valuable resources essential to the sustainability of company operations. This study aims to examine the effect of self-control on employee performance, with cyberloafing behavior acting as a mediator. Cyberloafing refers to the personal use of technology for non-work-related activities during office hours. The study involved 118 respondents working at firm X in Trosobo Sidoarjo, using a purposeful sampling technique and distributing questionnaires. The findings show that employee performance and self-control are interrelated; however, cyberloafing behavior does not directly affect employee performance. While self-control plays a crucial role in enhancing performance, cyberloafing behavior is not a significant mediator in this relationship. Based on these results, the study suggests that companies should enhance their supervisory functions and provide self-development training programs focused on emotional management and self-control. These programs would help employees manage their behavior effectively in the workplace, minimize the occurrence of cyberloafing, and improve overall work productivity. This approach can support a healthier, more productive work environment, benefiting both individual employees and the organization as a whole.
