Abstract

Good teacher-student and parent-teacher relationships enhance teachers' sense of accomplishment and efficacy, thereby contributing to their professional development. Given the increasing role of social media as a primary source of relaxation and entertainment, understanding its impact on teachers is crucial. This study, involving 1,840 primary and secondary school teachers (Mage = 40.44, SD = 9.68, 38.8 percent male), employed a questionnaire to explore how teacher-student relationships, parent-teacher relationships, and social media addiction (SMA) influence teachers' work performance. The results revealed that (1) nearly half of the teachers were addicted to social media; (2) both parent-teacher and teacher-student relationships positively affected work performance, while SMA negatively impacted it; (3) when both relationships were present, parent-teacher relationships had a more significant effect, with SMA mediating the link between teacher-parent relationships and work performance; and (4) school climate moderated the impact of SMA on work performance. These findings clarify the interactions between interpersonal relationships, social media behavior, and work performance, suggesting strategies to improve performance through optimized relationships, guided social media use, and a positive school environment.

社交媒体成瘾：中小学教师关系对工作绩效的中介作用及学校氛围的调节作用

良好的师生关系和师生关系可以增强教师的成就感和效能感，从而促进教师的专业发展。鉴于社交媒体作为放松和娱乐的主要来源的作用越来越大，了解它对教师的影响至关重要。本研究以1,840名中小学教师为研究对象（Mage = 40.44, SD = 9.68，男性占38.8%），采用问卷调查的方式，探讨师生关系、亲子关系和社交媒体成瘾对教师工作绩效的影响。结果显示：(1)近半数教师存在社交媒体成瘾；(2)亲子关系和师生关系对工作绩效有正向影响，SMA对工作绩效有负向影响；(3)当两种关系同时存在时，家长-教师关系的影响更为显著，SMA在教师-家长关系与工作绩效之间起到中介作用；(4)学校氛围调节了SMA对工作绩效的影响。这些发现阐明了人际关系、社交媒体行为和工作绩效之间的相互作用，并提出了通过优化人际关系、引导社交媒体使用和积极的学校环境来提高绩效的策略。
