The direct and indirect effects of workplace loneliness on FoMO: Nomophobia and general belongingness

“…In line with these metaphors, the findings of the current study show that the increase in feelings of loneliness contributes to the increase in nomophobia, but the main effect reflected in FoMO levels stems from the need to eliminate feelings of lack and nothingness and therefore emerges through nomophobia. As a matter of fact, many studies have supported the positive linear relationship between nomophobia and FoMO (Aslan et al, 2023;Fioravanti et al, 2021;Gezgin et al, 2018) and these results seem to be consistent with the findings of our current study.…”

The results of a meta-analysis study conducted by Fioravanti et al (2021) reveal that the concern that others may have satisfying experiences may be a factor that triggers obsessive use of social platforms, but it can also function as a control mechanism and is effective as a need to communicate with others or as a means of developing social competence.…”
