“…The results of the undertaken study demonstrate the smartphone affirmative influence on student academic performance in universities; the previous literature also exhibited similar outcomes [25][26][27][28][29]. Outcomes also demonstrating that the multimedia media messaging (MMS) has an affirmative influence on student academic performance in universities, this also confirms the results of research studies that were carried out by Hasan et al [15], Dzamesi et al [16], Lepp et al [29], Rosen et al [31], and Junco [34].…”

“…Outcomes of moderation of addiction exhibit the significant influence between functions of smartphone and students' academic performance in universities as the outcome variable [8,10,12,16,18,33]. Finally, the moderating variable such as technology plays a significant influence between functions of smartphone and university students' academic performance, previous literature also exhibited similar outcomes such as García-Martínez et al [14], Qi [25], Hossain et al [26], Chen and Chang [90], Saroha and Diwan [91], Rout and Samarpita [92], McGill and Klobas [96], and Aljomaa et al [97].…”

“…For this purpose, high tech smartphones and portable computers are being used for real-time information exchange which could be transferred anywhere at any minimal period [18,36]. Thus, with the introduction of new functions of multimedia messaging service (MMS), traditional media such as newspapers, magazines, billboards, and TV have faced a real challenge, and students' performance has become very effective in their studies and real-live events [21,25,37]. Due to the multimedia channels, students use millions of academic websites, YouTube, and customized educational portals for their academic requirements.…”

The purpose of the undertaken study is to examine the influence of smartphones on the performance of university students in Pakistan. This paper also investigates the functions of a smartphone as exogenous predictors such as smartphone applications, multimedia messaging service (MMS), short message service (SMS), warp-speed processing, and entertainment on the academic performance of a student. This paper also addresses the impact of electronic word of mouth (eWOM) and attitude as mediating variables between exogenous and endogenous variables. Finally, we incorporated technology and addiction as moderating variables between independent variables and the outcome variable to measure the influence of moderating variables. We have taken 684 responses from seven universities in Pakistan and employed the SEM-based multivariate approach for the analysis of the data. The findings of this paper demonstrate that smartphone functions have a significant influence on students’ academic performance, and moderating and mediating variables also have a significant influence on exogenous and endogenous variables. The practical implications have provided a guideline for university teachers, parents, and decision-makers of how a smartphone could be used to improve student academic performance inside and outside university campuses.

“…However, to what extent do undergraduates actually practice these skills while texting through mobile apps? This is particularly important with the surge in mobile device ownership [2] and the associated level of excessive usage [9], [17], [18] among undergraduates. Excessive usage is also described as compulsive usage or overreliance on technology [19].…”

“…For example, Saleem and Bakhsh [25] and Shafie et al [26] have warned that the excessive use of mobile texting has a negative influence on students' formal writing skills. Moreover, the level of mobile device usage has been found to negatively impact technostress among students [2], [24], which adversely affects students' performance [1], [9]. The increase in mobile device texting by undergraduates and the importance of maintaining academic writing skills for better learning performance have triggered the interest to investigate the influence of excessive mobile texting on students' academic writing skills in the Arabic language, and how the existence of technostress also influences this process.…”

This study aims to develop a model to examine the influence of excessive mobile application (app) texting on technostress and academic writing skills in the Arabic language among undergraduates in higher education. In this study, the person-technology (P-T) fit model was used as a means of exploring the effect of excessive mobile app texting on students' levels of technostress and the influence of these factors on their academic writing skills. The sample was comprised of 235 undergraduate students who were selected by random sampling. The study proposed a model comprised of several factors that assist in answering the study questions. These factors are the following: 'excessive mobile apps texting', 'technooverload', 'techno-invasion', 'techno-complexity', 'accuracy', 'clarity', 'cohesiveness', and 'vocabulary'. A developed questionnaire was employed as the main data collection method to obtain relevant information regarding excessive mobile app texting, mobile technostress, and students' academic writing skills. A quantitative research method via structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. The results showed that excessive mobile app texting and mobile technostress, including techno-overload, techno-invasion, and techno-complexity, have negative influences (through both direct and indirect effects) on students' academic writing skills, including accuracy, clarity, cohesiveness, and vocabulary. Several pedagogical and technical implications are suggested at the end of this study.

Mobile phones have emerged as ubiquitous devices beyond simple means of communication. Students studying at tertiary‐level educational institutions are one of the major target groups for mobile companies. Notwithstanding, the educators and the marketers of mobile phones and services do not know much about their needs and mobile phone usage behavior. This study aims to determine the mobile phone needs and usage behavior of university students in Oman. The study delves upon longitudinal data collected over three different points of time in a decade and analyzes the changes in students' needs and mobile usage behavior. The findings suggest that students' preferences over time for mobile phones have changed not only for brands but also the way they patronize mobile phones and associated services. The study gives a vital lead to educators and the marketers of mobile phones and services. By understanding the mobile phone needs and usage behavior of students, educators can target their content and deliveries and marketers can target their features, apps, and services innovatively to this emerging segment.
