Abstract

Background: Because the use of social media and social networking sites during work hours is increasing, the effect of such behaviors (defined as social cyberloafing) on nurse performance must be investigated. This study was conducted to determine the effect of nurses' social cyberloafing on their individual work performance.

Materials and methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted with 213 nurses working in private hospitals between April and May of 2022 in Turkey. Data were collected using the Social Cyberloafing Scale (SCS) and the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ).

Results: The mean social cyberloafing score of the nurses was 3.20, and the mean individual work performance score was 3.66. A significant and positive correlation was found between the mean scores of the SCS and the IWPQ (r: 0.41; p < 0.01). SC had a significant and positive effect on IWP (t: 5.37; β =0.68; R ² = 0.16), SC had a significant and positive effect on Task Performance (t: 5.97; β =0.38; R ² = 0.15), SC had a significant and positive effect on Contextual Performance (t: 4.13; β =0.31; R ² = 0.10), and SC had a significant and negative effect on Counterproductive Work Behavior (t: -3.27; β = -0.26; R ² = 0.06).

Conclusions: In this study, nurses' social cyberloafing was found to be moderate, and their individual work performance was found to be high. It was found that as nurses' social cyberloafing increased, their individual work performance also increased.

社会网络漫游：护士工作绩效的新前因。

背景：由于在工作时间使用社交媒体和社交网站的人数越来越多，因此必须调查这种行为（定义为社交网络闲逛）对护士绩效的影响。本研究旨在探讨护士社交网络漫游对其个人工作绩效的影响。材料与方法：对2022年4 - 5月在土耳其私立医院工作的213名护士进行了横断面和描述性研究。使用社会网络游荡量表（SCS）和个人工作绩效问卷（IWPQ）收集数据。结果：护理人员的社会网络游荡平均得分为3.20分，个人工作绩效平均得分为3.66分。SCS评分与IWPQ评分呈显著正相关（r: 0.41; p < 0.01）。自主学习对工作效率有显著的正向影响（t: 5.37; β =0.68; r2 = 0.16），对任务绩效有显著的正向影响（t: 5.97; β =0.38; r2 = 0.15），对情境绩效有显著的正向影响（t: 4.13; β =0.31; r2 = 0.10），对反生产行为有显著的负向影响（t: -3.27; β = -0.26; r2 = 0.06）。结论：本研究发现护士的社会网络游荡是适度的，其个人工作绩效是高的。研究发现，随着护士社交网络闲逛的增加，其个人工作绩效也有所提高。
