Jealousy due to social media? A systematic literature review and framework of social media-induced jealousy
2021
Purpose The association between social media and jealousy is an aspect of the dark side of social media that has garnered significant attention in the past decade. However, the understanding of this association is fragmented and needs to be assimilated to provide scholars with an overview of the current boundaries of knowledge in this area. This systematic literature review (SLR) aims to fulfill this need. Design/methodology/approach The authors undertake an SLR to assimilate the current knowledge regarding the association between social media and jealousy, and they examine the phenomenon of social media-induced jealousy (SoMJ). Forty-five empirical studies are curated and analyzed using st…
Coping with pandemics using social network sites: A psychological detachment perspective to COVID-19 stressors
2022
Prior research has often portrayed information technology (IT) as a stressor. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate that IT can also be an effective means of coping with life stressors, including those induced by pandemics such as COVID-19. We thus deviate from the common IT-as-a-stressor perspective and adopt an IT-as-a-coping-mechanism viewpoint. To this end, we apply the stressor-detachment model from organisational psychology to the use of social network sites (SNSs) in coping with stressors wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic. We examine psychological well-being as our dependant variable and introduce psychological detachment through SNS use as a mediator and moderator of the associat…
The dark side of social media: Stalking, online self‐disclosure and problematic sleep
2021
The proliferation of social media usage has led to the manifestation of certain negative behaviours that are now referred to as the ‘dark side’ of social media use. These behaviours are a matter of concern, as they are detrimental to people's well-being. The present study examines the empirical association among social media stalking, online self-disclosure, social media sleep hygiene, compulsive social media use and problematic sleep, most of which have been previously recognized as key dark side behaviours. While social media stalking is a relatively new and under-explored phenomenon, its predecessor, the much-castigated cyberstalking, has received sufficient scholarly attention. This stu…
Does enterprise social media use promote employee creativity and well-being?
2021
Abstract Despite the increased use of Enterprise Social Media (ESM) worldwide, its adverse impact on firms’ employees, such as exhaustion, has not been researched sufficiently. This is a critical gap in the literature since employees’ well-being is crucial to maintaining their productivity. The current study addresses this gap by examining whether interruption overload and psychological transition affect the relationship of employees’ socio-instrumental use of ESM with ESM-related exhaustion and employee creativity, respectively. We utilized the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory to conceptualize the mediation effect of interruption overload and psychological transition on the hypothesi…
Psychological and behavioral outcomes of social media-induced fear of missing out at the workplace
2021
Abstract The intense proliferation of social media platforms into every facet of human lives has engaged researchers' attention towards understanding their adverse influences, referred to as the dark side of social media (DoSM) in the evolving literature. A relatively unexplored context in this regard is employees' personal use of social media during work hours and its impact on work-related outcomes. Since using social media during work hours can have implications for work performance and productivity, the lack of research in the area needs to be addressed by scholars sooner rather than later. Specifically, it is important to understand the drivers and outcomes of such behaviour. We have t…
Muskeldysmorfi hos menn med medlemskap på treningssenter : En undersøkelse av utbredelse og potensielle korrelater
2019
Masteroppgave idrettsvitenskap ME517 - Universitetet i Agder 2019 Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to examine the prevalence of muscle dysmorphia in a sample of men aged 16-40 years old with a Norwegian gym membership. In addition, the purpose was to investigate the relationship between muscle dysmorphia and age, body mass index, strength training duration, eating concern, percentage of protein intake, intake of protein supplements, intake of creatine supplements and training day/rest day. Method: A total of 1320 men recruited from physical attendance at gyms (n = 312), and through social media (n= 1008), participated in the study. The study was conducted by using a quantitativ…
Dark consequences of social media-induced fear of missing out (FoMO): Social media stalking, comparisons, and fatigue
2021
Research on the dark side of social media usage has explored the fear of missing out (FoMO), social media fatigue (fatigue), social media stalking (stalking), and online social comparison (social comparison) independently. Accordingly, the complex interrelationships among these phenomena have remained understudied, creating a chasm that hinders a clearer understanding of their drivers and the potential counterstrategies to mitigate the collateral damage they may cause. We attempt to bridge this gap by drawing upon the theory of social comparison and the theory of compensatory internet use to formulate a framework that hypothesizes the mechanism of interaction among these negative fallouts. …
Social media users’ online subjective well-being and fatigue: A network heterogeneity perspective
2021
Scholars have drawn increasing attention to the implications of the dark side of social media for users’ online subjective well-being (OSWB). We develop a research framework based on the limited-capacity model to examine the relationship between OSWB and social media fatigue. Moreover, we explore the associations between specific aspects related to network heterogeneity and social media fatigue for social media users in the United States of America (USA). Further, we examine the mediating effect of network heterogeneity on the association between OSWB and social media fatigue. We utilised a cross-sectional research design to collect data from Prolific Academic (N = 320) and analysed the dat…
The dark side of phubbing in the workplace: Investigating the role of intrinsic motivation and the use of enterprise social media (ESM) in a cross-cu…
2022
Despite the increasing phenomena of supervisor phubbing (a counterproductive workplace behaviour of managers), very few studies have explored its outcomes in organisations. This study aims to bridge this gap by investigating the relationships between supervisor phubbing and key employee outcomes. We conducted two studies in cross-cultural settings. In Study 1, which was conducted in Pakistan (a collectivistic culture), we collected 370 useable responses through an online survey from the employees working in the service sector organisations. Study 2, which was conducted in the United States of America (an individualistic culture), utilised the Prolific data collection service to gather 352 r…
En direktelinje til fansen : en retorisk studie av norske artisters kommunikasjon i sosiale medier ved promotering av nytt materiale
2016
Masteroppgave samfunnskommunikasjon- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 Denne oppgaven undersøker hvordan norske popartister promoterer nytt materiale ved hjelp av sosiale medier. Studien sammenligner to debutanters praksiser med praksisene til to etablerte artister. Problemstillingen som blir besvart er: ”Med hvilke retoriske strategier kommuniserer norske artister på Facebook og Instagram ved promotering av ny musikk?”. Oppgaven studerer praksisene til artistene Sondre Justad, Siv Jakobsen, Sondre Lerche og Marit Larsen. Studien benytter teori om sosiale medier, promoteringsteori og klassisk retorikk som teoretisk rammeverk. Den har et kvalitativt fokus, og triangulerer multimodal retorisk tekst…
