Effects of social media addiction on daily work performance of government employees

Sulasula, Josephine (2023): Effects of social media addiction on daily work performance of government employees.

Abstract

This research study examines the effects of social media addiction on the daily work performance of government employees in the Zamboanga Peninsula Region of the Philippines. Drawing upon the sampled government employees, data were collected through surveys and analyzed using statistical techniques. The study investigates the relationship between social media addiction and work performance. Results indicate a significant negative correlation between social media addiction and work performance among government employees in the region (r = -0.45, p < 0.001). The findings suggest that excessive social media use negatively impacts employees' ability to focus on their work tasks, hinders productivity, and diminishes overall job performance. Furthermore, the study reveals that social media addiction is prevalent among government employees in the Zamboanga Peninsula Region, with 70% of respondents reporting moderate to high levels of addiction. These findings have important implications for public administration policies and practices, highlighting the need for interventions to address social media addiction and promote healthier work habits among government employees.
