Distraction is a personal matter. One can be distracted if there is loud noise or music and another would concentrate well in the noise. so it differs from one employee to another.
But if we want to mention somethign that can be generalized, I think distraction can be related to management style. For example a manager who keeps popping up with new tasks and asks an employee to leave what he is doing now and shift to the new task would cause a lot of distraction and negatively affect productivity. Also micromanagement is a distraction. If you are concentrating on a task and your manager comes to ask questions like how are you doing it? why this and not that? why didn't you CC me on the email? .... This would cause distraction too.

There would be no distraction if the employee would love his job and would find joy in doing it. Distraction appears as a mean to cope with an unhappy situation at work. So, to answer to your question, the employee is distracting himself. Websites, games, office chats and so on are just ways of doing it.
