Abstract: The study explores the interaction between the intensity of Facebook use, the effort exerted by employees in the professional activity and counterproductive behaviors in the workplace. The main aim is to identify if and how frequent use of Facebook during working hours influences employee performance and behaviour. By analyzing data collected through questionnaires and interviews, the research aims to determine correlations between the time spent on Facebook and the level of employee engagement in work tasks, as well as the occurrence of possible counterproductive behaviors such as procrastination or neglect of responsibilities. The results could provide important insights for managers and human resource specialists in order to develop effective strategies for managing time and human resources in the work environment, taking into account the impact of social networks. Also, the study could contribute to the academic literature by bringing new insights into the dynamics between online social environments and organizational behavior.
