Synopsis
The aim of this study is to examine the concept of social loafing, which is among the current organizational behavior issues. In this direction, first of all, how the concept of social loafing emerged and the definitions of social loafing made by different scientists are included. With the increasing interest in the concept of social loafing, how social loafing behavior emerges has gained importance. For this reason, theories explaining social loafing behavior put forward by researchers and theories that contradict social loafing behavior are briefly explained. In the following parts of the study, the factors affecting social loafing behavior were examined in order to determine which situations trigger social loafing. In the last part of the study; Various suggestions have been made to managers in order to prevent or minimize social loafing in organizations. There are very few studies in the domestic literature on the concept of social loafing. When the studies in the literature are examined, it is seen that social loafing is limited only to the field of social psychology. For this reason, it is necessary to associate social loafing with different fields and to create awareness about the concept.
