Excessive use of mobile social networking sites and poor academic performance: Antecedents and consequences from stressor-strain-outcome perspective

Problematic smartphone usage and subjective and psychological well-being

“…Problematic smartphone usage has been defined as compulsive usage that leads to impaired daily functioning in terms of productivity, social relationships, physical health, or emotional well-being (Horwood & Anglim, 2018). Despite the various benefits of smartphones, many studies have obtained correlations between problematic usage and stress (e.g., Cao, Masood, Luqman, & Ali, 2018;Kim, Min, Min, Lee, & Yoo, 2018;Kuang-Tsan & Fu-Yuan, 2017;Samaha & Hawi, 2016;Van Deursen, Bolle, Hegner, & Kommers, 2015). The notion that smartphones can cause users to become stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted has been termed 'technostress' (Ayyagari, Grover, & Purvis, 2011;Lee, Chang, Lin, & Cheng, 2014;Maier, Laumer, Weinert, & Weitzel, 2015;Tarafdar, 2017), or, in some cases, 'techno-exhaustion' (Cao et al, 2018).…”

The term 'technostress' was originally used to describe workplace productivity decrements that could be attributed to the sustained efforts required by employees to remain proficient in changing information and communication technology domains (Ragu-Nathan, Tarafdar, Ragu-Nathan, & Tu, 2008;Tarafdar, Tu, Ragu-Nathan, & Ragu-Nathan, 2007), however more recently the idea of technologyinduced stress has been extended to users of smartphone technology.…”

One explanation for the experience of technostress is that continuous access to, and demand for attention from, social networking sites, supply of news and information, work activities, and various forms of entertainment result in cognitive-emotional pre-occupation with the agent of delivery, the smartphone (Cao et al, 2018;Lee et al, 2014). Another explanation for the development of technostress is that users feel that their smartphone has become an intrusion in their daily life (Ayyagari et al, 2011).…”

“…Another explanation for the development of technostress is that users feel that their smartphone has become an intrusion in their daily life (Ayyagari et al, 2011). Furthermore, some users engage in compulsive usage of their smartphone, akin to a behavioral addiction, as a result of the ease with which immediate gratification can be obtained from the device (Cao et al, 2018;Lee et al, 2014).…”

Negative Impact of Social Network Services Based on Stressor-Stress-Outcome: The Role of Experience of Privacy Violations

“…Cao et al [23] • Excessive social network service (SNS) use cause cognitive-emotional preoccupation that is weakened by cognitive-behavioral control. • Techno-exhaustion, and life and privacy violations affect academic performance.…”
