This study mentions that the purpose was to understand factors that can lead to goofing off at work (Decker & Perdue, 2012). The authors are looking for a relationship between personal and workplace behaviors to the behavior of goofing off at work. Since the authors are looking for a relationship of actions or factors and goofing off a Quantitative design seems appropriate. The questionnaire used ask respondents about their actions at work to understand the factors involved. The lit review established various actions from other studies that tended to indicate the possibility of goofing off at work. The authors then attempted to link those and other factors to the Predictors of goofing off established from previous research.
