The use of online social networking sites has become part of everyday life for more than three billion people worldwide. However, its use may go beyond being a habit, leading to compulsive use behaviours that jeopardize the well-being of an individual and the whole society. This study proposes and evaluates a theoretical model that examines the four dimensions of social capital, mediated by bonding and bridging social capital, as drivers of compulsive use of online social networks in the context of civil unrest. We evaluate the model using partial least squares structural equation modelling with data collected from a developing country. We found that reciprocity is the most important driver for bonding and bridging social capital with online members. Whereas trust, contradicting most of the literature in the field, was not statistically significant over bonding and bridging social capital. Bonding social capital shows a significant association with compulsive use behaviour. On the other hand, the effect of bridging social capital on compulsive use behaviour, although not significant, may become significant in the presence of a strong usage habit.
对于全球超过30亿人来说，使用在线社交网站已成为日常生活的一部分。然而，其使用可能不止是一种习惯，还会导致强迫性使用行为，危及个人和整个社会的福祉。本研究提出并评估了一个理论模型，该模型考察了社会资本的四个维度，以联结型和桥接型社会资本为中介，作为内乱背景下在线社交网络强迫性使用的驱动因素。我们使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型，利用从一个发展中国家收集的数据对该模型进行评估。我们发现，互惠是与在线成员建立联结型和桥接型社会资本的最重要驱动因素。而信任与该领域的大多数文献相反，在联结型和桥接型社会资本方面没有统计学意义。联结型社会资本与强迫性使用行为有显著关联。另一方面，桥接型社会资本对强迫性使用行为的影响虽然不显著，但在存在强烈使用习惯的情况下可能会变得显著。
