“…In this manner they join six clusters (intra-cohesional), with a dominant presence of techno-scientific pragmatism in only one cluster. Regarding the psychological approach, among the prolific authors Cao and other Chinese and Korean authors stand out, highlighting the performance and centrality in scientific production accomplished by the University of Science and Technology of China [39,[110][111][112][113][114]. Thus, the first and second author in the world maintain dissimilar approaches, without presenting joint works and having, as their only link, other researchers from the City University of Hong Kong.…”

“…These feelings may ultimately increase technostress caused by the usage of social media, and thereby result in decreased job performance [37]. Therefore, the phenomenon of excessive use of social media in the workplace has become a significant problem for organizations and deserves more attention from scholars [39].…”

This article aims to provide a critical review of the scientific research on technostress. As such, global references in this field are identified and highlighted in order to manage pre-existing knowledge and establish future ‘bridges’ among researchers, and to enhance the presently dispersed understanding of this subject. A scientometric meta-analysis of publications on technostress was conducted to achieve this objective. Mainstream journals from the Web of Science (WoS) were used to identify current topics, relevant journals, prolific authors, institutions, and countries, ‘schools of thought’ and the thematic areas around which current technostress debate revolves. In this article a significant contribution comes from the use of the scientific activity itself, together with scientometric meta-analysis techniques and the application of this scientific activity, its impact and relational character, to discover relevant countries, research organizations and authors which can constitute a global reference to demarcate this knowledge frontier, and who lead the ‘critical mass’ of global technostress researchers. This study also distinguishes between the relevant themes studied, with co-keywords plus bibliographic coupling citation, and examines the kind of stress the most prolific authors have considered and, therefore, to discover those topics which should be studied further to deepen this research field, in search of a post-disciplinary knowledge that allows unity of focus in technology and psychology.

“…The China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) released the social media users' behavior research report, which found that enterprise/company employee respondents accounted for 31% of social media users, which was the highest percentage of all users [China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), 2016]. In organizations, employees use many social media platforms for sharing and communicating (Yu et al, 2018). Many studies have shown that using social media platforms can enhance individual job performance and productivity in the workplace (Aral et al, 2013;Moqbel et al, 2013;Alalwan et al, 2017;Cao and Ali, 2018).…”

The pervasive nature of social media can result in excessive use and addiction, but whether excessive use of social media is good or bad for individuals' creativity is unclear. This study explored the direct and indirect impact of excessive use of WeChat on individuals' creativity in workplace, focusing on how excessive use of WeChat promotes or restrains creativity through knowledge sharing and psychological strain. Based on the person–environment fit model and motivation theory, this study examined the three paths of excessive WeChat use affecting individuals' creativity in workplace. We used the structural equation model to test our research model. A survey of 364 employees revealed that excessive WeChat use directly promotes creativity and indirectly improves creativity via knowledge sharing, but excessive WeChat use does not lead to psychological strain. These findings, obtained by theoretically and empirically investigating the positive outcomes of excessive WeChat use, suggest an upside to excessive WeChat use. The implications and limitations of this study and future research on excessive-use behavior are also discussed.

“…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]. Excessive refers to the high level of constant usage of mobile apps that are associated with anxiety and stress [20]- [23].…”

Exploring the Effects of Excessive Texting Through Mobile Applications on Students’ Technostress and Academic Writing Skills in the Arabic Language

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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.
