The Associations Between Social Media Addiction, Job Stress, Performance, and Relationship Satisfaction Among Married Employees

This study investigates the relationships between employees' levels of social media addiction and their job performance, job stress, and emotional relationship satisfaction among married professionals. The research is based on data collected from 256 married participants working in various sectors of the public and private domains, gathered through an online survey. Correlation analyses revealed that social media addiction is positively correlated with job stress but not significantly related to job performance and relationship satisfaction. Additionally, it was found that women use social media more than men. Participants spent an average of 1.35 hours on social media during work hours and 4.18 hours per day in total. Multiple regression analyses indicated that only job stress significantly predicted social media addiction. The results suggest that social media use is not directly related to job performance and relationship satisfaction but is associated with job stress among married professionals.
