Abstract
In today’s technology-centric world, people are becoming increasingly dependent on the Internet. The most common use of the Internet is through social media, which are used to communicate, share, collaborate, and connect. However, continued usage of a hedonic system can be linked with compulsion or addiction. Since problematic usage/behaviors can lead to negative outcomes, this manuscript aims to determine differential effects of Internet and social media addictions on social media-related technostress. This is examined in two different cultures: the U.S. and Hong Kong. The results support the association between Internet and social media addictions with increases in social media-related technostress. Additionally, these effects are moderated by culture. Implications for research and practice are discussed along with future directions for this stream.
