The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of social networking sites (SNSs) addiction on nurses' performance and how this relationship was mediated by task distraction and moderated by self-management.
This cross-sectional study is designed to empirically test the relationship of SNSs addiction, task distraction, and self-management with the nurses' performance.
Data were collected by conducting an online survey on nurses across the world using a web-based questionnaire developed through 'Google Docs' and distributed through Facebook from 13 August 2018 - 17 November 2018. The Facebook groups were searched using the selected key terms. In total, 45 groups were found to have relevance to this research; therefore, request was made to the admins of these groups to participate in this research and to post a link in their groups. Only 19 group admins responded positively by uploading a link of the research instrument on their respective group pages and 461 members of these groups participated in the research.
Results of the data collected from 53 different countries indicated that SNSs addiction results in lowering the nurses' performance. This relationship is further strengthened by task distraction introduced as a mediating variable. The results show that self-management mediates the relationship between SNSs addiction and employees' performance. Moreover, the results of the study confirm that self-management reduces the negative impact of SNSs addiction on nurses' performance.
Social networking sites (SNSs) addiction and task distraction reduce the nurses' performance, whereas self-management enhances nurses' performance.
This study addresses the problem of using SNSs at the workplace and its potential effect on nurses' performance. Results demonstrate that SNSs addiction reduces the performance which is further decreased by task distraction; however, self-management of nurses can enhance the nurses' performance. The research has numerous theoretical and practical implications for hospital administration, doctors, and nurses.
本研究旨在探讨社交网站（SNS）成瘾与护士工作表现之间的关系，以及任务分心如何介导这种关系，自我管理如何调节这种关系。
本横断面研究旨在实证检验SNS成瘾、任务分心和自我管理与护士工作表现之间的关系。
通过使用通过“谷歌文档”开发并于2018年8月13日至2018年11月17日通过脸书分发的网络问卷，对全球护士进行在线调查来收集数据。使用选定的关键词在脸书群组中进行搜索。总共发现45个群组与本研究相关；因此，请求这些群组的管理员参与本研究并在其群组中发布链接。只有19名群组管理员积极回应，在各自的群组页面上上传了研究工具的链接，这些群组的461名成员参与了研究。
从53个不同国家收集的数据结果表明，SNS成瘾会导致护士工作表现下降。作为中介变量引入的任务分心进一步强化了这种关系。结果表明，自我管理介导了SNS成瘾与员工工作表现之间的关系。此外，研究结果证实，自我管理减少了SNS成瘾对护士工作表现的负面影响。
社交网站（SNS）成瘾和任务分心会降低护士的工作表现，而自我管理则会提高护士的工作表现。
本研究解决了在工作场所使用SNS的问题及其对护士工作表现的潜在影响。结果表明，SNS成瘾会降低工作表现，任务分心会进一步降低工作表现；然而，护士的自我管理可以提高护士的工作表现。该研究对医院管理、医生和护士具有众多理论和实际意义。
