“…Whereas, another meta-analysis research has shown that sports and physical exercise are effective methods in treating smartphone addiction, especially for those with a severe level of addiction (Liu et al, 2019). An interesting finding from research conducted in Malaysia however, indicates that as far as university students are concerned, maintaining an active physical life also helps reduce risk of smartphone addiction, only insofar as the addiction is caused by excessive mobile gaming related use (Abbasi et al, 2021). The same study reports that the same cannot be said for entertainment-related or social-network-related excessive use; i.e.…”

“…Positive use of the internet provides various benefits to organizations, such as lower organizational transaction costs and enhanced organizational performance (Zhong et al, 2020). However, misuse of the internet, such as increased cyberloafing behavior, presents problems; workers may not perform work well if they are involved in online engagements not linked to their job activities, resulting in reduced firm performance (Lim et al, 2020;Abbasi et al, 2021;Alsaad et al, 2018). Deviant work behavior, or cyberloafing, has been widely studied in recent decades (Lim, 2002;Lim et al, 2020;Mazidi et al, 2020).…”

This study examines the influence of job demands and job resources on cyberloafing behavior through the mediating role of job stress and work engagement and the contingent role of employee motivation at universities. The research model draws on border theory and the JD-R model. The partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique is followed for testing the hypotheses. Data from 534 questionnaires was used for final analysis. The main findings of the study are: 1) job demands significantly increase job stress and cyberloafing behavior; 2) job resources significantly enhance work engagement, while reducing cyberloafing behavior; 3) job stress increases cyberloafing behavior, but work engagement reduces it; 4) job stress and job resources significantly mediate the relationship between job demands and cyberloafing behavior; and 5) employee motivation significantly reduces cyberloafing behavior and significantly moderates the relation between job stress and cyberloafing behavior. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

“…Reactions resulting from brain activation by certain stimuli are also identical [7]. In particular, smartphone addiction has a significant impact on adolescents, resulting in a number of mental and physical dysfunctions such as suicide, sleep disorder, anxiety, depression, unhappiness, and low self-esteem [6,[8][9][10][11]; in addition, it spoils their academic performance [12][13][14][15] and leads to interpersonal difficulties [16,17].…”

The Relationship between Smartphone Addiction, Parent–Child Relationship, Loneliness and Self-Efficacy among Senior High School Students in Taiwan

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study explores the link between smartphone addiction in senior high-school students, parent–child relationship, loneliness, and self-efficacy on the basis of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and social cognitive theory (SCT). A survey of 2172 students (1205 female students, 966 male students; mean age = 16.58 years, SD = 0.78) from 32 senior high schools in Taiwan was conducted. Moderation mediation analysis was performed using Model 14 of SPSS PROCESS-macro to test the hypotheses of this study. The result showed that the parent–child relationship was negatively related both to smartphone addiction and loneliness, which mediated the link between parent–child relationship and smartphone addiction. Self-efficacy was also found to moderate the level of loneliness related to smartphone addiction. Specifically, loneliness will ease when the parent–child relationship improves, and smartphone addiction will accordingly lessen. It was also discovered that the elevation of self-efficacy could mitigate the level of addiction. Lastly, this study provided parents, education agencies, and other policymakers in the education sector with implications based on these findings. Preventive measures for smartphone addiction and recommendations for future investigations are also given.
