Descriptive review of positive and negative antecedent social loafing during pandemic covid-19

Abstract

In this reviewe we aimed to explore the alleged “positive and negative” antecedent relationships towards social loafing and to understand what kind of contribution could reduce the occurrence of social loafing during the disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. This article uses a descriptive review approach with systemic findings and also inclusion and exclusion processes sourced from the digital library subscription of the Republic of Indonesia (https://e-resources.perpusnas.go.id) and google scholar (https://scholar.google.com) using the keyword “social loafing” since January-November 2020 at the time the Covid-19 pandemic occurred and 3,682 articles were found as the population in this study. The results of this descriptive review indicate that antecedent self-efficacy, exchange ideology, task visibility, hedonic motivation, informal, official, decision, process accountability, workplace envy has a positive relationship directly towards social loafing and specifically antecedent workplace envy. Workplace envy can be a form of moderated Self-esteem, whereas antecedent Person-organization fit, Professional Respect, Organizational reward systems, work engagement, Strategic Innovation, Trust, Enjoyment in helping, Individuals Communication have a negative relationship with social loafing and especially antecedent Enjoyment in helping, Individuals Communication can be mediated through community identification. Originality, many researchers around the world have conducted empirical studies on social loafing. However, no one has yet conducted a descriptive review focusing on the turbulence of the Covid-19 pandemic which affects almost all business processes. Also, no one has explored the “positive and negative” antecedent relationship with social learning, even though this is a fundamental factor in managing individuals during WFH (work from home).
