“…Moreover, a study [ 69 ] conducted in a Tech based company in India also revealed that employees engaged in too much social media usage were having sleep deprivation; eye strain; feeling of resentment; lack of depth in the relationships; compromise with the work quality, and a distraction from work. Another study among social media users observed a number of physical, psychological and behavioural issues.…”

Background Social media addiction, a recently emerged term in medical science, has attracted the attention of researchers because of its significant physical and psychological effects on its users. The issue has attracted more attention during the COVID era because negative emotions (e.g., anxiety and fear) generated from the COVID pandemic may have increased social media addiction. Therefore, the present study investigates the role of negative emotions and social media addiction (SMA) on health problems during and after the COVID lockdown. Methods A survey was conducted with 2926 participants aged between 25 and 45 years from all eight divisions of Bangladesh. The data collection period was between 2nd September– 13th October, 2020. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was conducted for data analysis by controlling the respondents’ working time, leisure time, gender, education, and age. Results Our study showed that social media addiction and time spent on social media impact health. Interestingly, while anxiety about COVID increased social media addition, fear about COIVD reduced social media addition. Among all considered factors, long working hours contributed most to people’s health issues, and its impact on social media addiction and hours was much higher than negative emotions. Furthermore, females were less addicted to social media and faced less health challenges than males. Conclusion The impacts of negative emotions generated by the COVID disaster on social media addiction and health issues should be reconsidered. Government and employers control people’s working time, and stress should be a priority to solve people’s social media addiction-related issues.

Social media addiction (SMA) has become a more serious problem for people when they are engaging in their social life with parents, siblings, and friends. The goal of this review is to go over previous studies that focused on the potential factors that cause SMA and how these factors make people vulnerable to such addiction. The review also summarizes the effective treatments for SMA, comparing their advantages and disadvantages. Through the review, neuroticism is proved to contribute to the high level of SMA, and the level of well-being is also responsible for the negative correlation with SMA. Several effective therapies are effective in treating addiction, including two parts: self-intervention and therapeutic methods. Self-intervention uses apps and self-control, or self-restrictive plans, to cut people’s addiction to certain software. therapeutic methods, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and motivational therapy. Both therapies aim to change the mental state of the patient, which would lead to less addictive behavior. Role models are also found to be useful for curing addiction. Yet there is no clear evidence that one therapy is superior to the others, and the selection of therapy should depend on the actual circumstances.

SM is a cluster of web‐based applications that enable users to create and share content with others (Priyadarshini et al., 2020). SM usage in an organization facilitates knowledge sharing and interactions between teams regardless of their physical location (Ali et al., 2020).…”

The business world is changing at an accelerated rate, and the key driver of this change is technology. Technologies largely dominate social networking and knowledge sharing activities in organizations through social media (SM). As SM is used in organizations for both work‐related and social‐related purposes, understanding its impact on job performance and employee retention is important. Hence, through the lens of organizational commitment theory and by analyzing a sample of 426 IT employees, this study attempted to explore the influence of SM usage on job performance and employee retention through knowledge sharing and organizational commitment. The significant outcomes of this study are as follows: (1) both work‐related and social‐related SM usage positively influence organizational commitment through knowledge sharing; (2) social media usage positively impacts job performance and employee retention by enhancing employee knowledge sharing capability and organizational commitment. Implications of this study provide meaningful insights for both academics and practitioners.
