The electronic workplace, the increased relevance of handling beliefs of work performance, along with a greater emphasis on teams and knowledge work are among variables that relate to higher rates of withholding effort among complex workers in the 21st century. This article considers these three factors in the context of dominant organizational forms - low-cost operators, international competitor corporations, and high-engagement firms- and how each may result in lower on-the-job attempt. Treatments are offered for new forms of withholding effort like cyberloafing, in addition to hiding lack of work in virtual teams and through impression management. Furthermore, an alternative way of contemplating the difficulty of lower occupation attempt is suggested through evaluation of the way in which a work ethic and a leisure ethic could be synthesized to enhance innovation, organizational ingenuity, and functionality.
