Abstract: The purpose of this article is to identify current research gaps on cyber loafing and job performance in the apparel manufacturing sector and to develop a Nomological framework for the same. This review adopted Callahan’s (2014) Six W’s and “Five C†characteristics proposed for systematic reviews. This review enclosed articles from 2002 to 2022 in the field of cyber loafing and job performance. Altogether 252 articles were reviewed and a sample of the most relevant are noted herein. The review has recognized three major gaps related to cyber loafing and job performance in the apparel manufacturing sector. Theories used are conservation of resources and social exchange that are linked to cyber loafing and job performance respectively. This review is limited to highlighting gaps that exist in the extant research and to the development of a Nomological framework. However, there is an extensive scope for testing this model empirically in global apparel manufacturing contexts and it is especially valuable where apparel manufacturing is an industry that contributes to the national economy. The identification of gaps and the model developed is an important contribution to future investigations on cyber loafing and job performance in the selected sector as it is linked to the fashion industry globally. This review contributes to the existing body of knowledge on human resources management (HRM) as cyber loafing is a phenomenon that is said to impact employee performance negatively.
