Abstract

Recently, there has been growing interest in how individual differences in FOMO affect personal and individual outcomes. However, there is a lack of understanding regarding the impact of FOMO in the workplace. The current study examined whether individual differences in fear of missing out (FOMO) affect employee job performance. This was accomplished by investigating the mediating role of burnout and social media engagement (SME). Furthermore, we also examined whether amotivation moderates the mediation process. Data were gathered from 214 Israeli employees by using the following scales: Fear of Missing Out (FOMOs), Burnout, Social Media Engagement (SME), Multidimensional Work Motivation (MWMS), and Job Performance. The results indicated that individual differences in FOMO are associated with relatively low levels of job performance. The relationship is mediated by burnout but not by SME. Amotivation was found to moderate the mediation effect of burnout. Interpretation of these results and practical implications are discussed.

摘要

最近，人们越来越关注 FOMO 中的个体差异如何影响个人和个人结果。然而，人们对 FOMO 对工作场所的影响缺乏了解。目前的研究检查了害怕错过（FOMO）的个体差异是否会影响员工的工作绩效。这是通过调查倦怠和社交媒体参与 (SME) 的中介作用来实现的。此外，我们还检查了动机是否会缓和调解过程。通过使用以下量表从 214 名以色列员工那里收集数据：害怕错过 (FOMO)、倦怠、社交媒体参与 (SME)、多维工作动机 (MWMS) 和工作绩效。结果表明，FOMO 的个体差异与相对较低的工作绩效水平相关。这种关系是由倦怠调节的，但不是由 SME 调节的。动机被发现可以调节倦怠的中介效应。讨论了对这些结果的解释和实际意义。
