Although extant literature has investigated the impacts of social sites on employees' job performance in different sectors, scholars have given little attention to teachers' job performance (TJoP) in higher educational institutes.
We aimed to investigate the direct and mediating impact of social media use (SMU) on TJoP. Based on social cognitive theory, this study proposed a model that consists of six hypotheses.
To empirically test the model, we develop a survey link to collect data from respondents working in universities in Jiangsu province, China. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 4 has been used for analyzing 454 respondents.
Research findings demonstrate the significant effects of SMU on TJoP, well-being, and social media addiction (SMAdd). In addition, teachers' well-being and SMAdd have a positive and negative significant effect, respectively, on TJoP. Moreover, this research evidenced a significant partial mediation of teachers' well-being and SMAdd.
This study points out the key role of SMU in the direct and indirect influences of TJoP through well-being and SMAdd. Further, it brings into view the urgency of higher education to prudently consider the implications of SMU on performance and general well-being among its faculty.
尽管现有文献已经研究了社交网站对不同行业员工工作绩效的影响，但学者们对高等教育机构教师的工作绩效（TJoP）关注甚少。
我们旨在探讨社交媒体使用（SMU）对 TJoP 的直接和中介影响。基于社会认知理论，本研究提出了一个包含六个假设的模型。
为了实证检验该模型，我们开发了一个调查链接，从中国江苏省大学工作的受访者那里收集数据。使用 SmartPLS 4 的偏最小二乘结构方程建模（PLS-SEM）用于分析 454 名受访者。
研究结果表明，SMU 对 TJoP、幸福感和社交媒体成瘾（SMAdd）有显著影响。此外，教师的幸福感和 SMAdd 分别对 TJoP 产生积极和消极的显著影响。此外，本研究证明了教师幸福感和 SMAdd 的部分中介作用。
本研究指出了 SMU 通过幸福感和 SMAdd 对 TJoP 的直接和间接影响的关键作用。此外，它还表明高等教育机构迫切需要谨慎考虑社交媒体对其教师绩效和整体幸福感的影响。
