Abstract

With the fantastic features of smartphones, smartphone addiction is a prevalent phenomenon. However, there is a lack of theory-based understanding of how smartphone addiction affects employees’ personal and work lives. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of smartphone addiction in reinforcing techno exhaustion and life invasion and the final effects of these factors on job performance, and this study applied stress–strain-outcome (SSO) as the foundation of the model. In total, 475 responses were obtained from office and service workers in Iran by a survey. Our findings show that smartphone addiction leads to enhancement in job performance, whereas it significantly strengthens life invasion and techno exhaustion, and thereby life invasion and techno exhaustion dramatically reduce job performance. Our findings indicate the two-sided role of direct and indirect effects of smartphone addiction. Implications for both organizations and employees are discussed.

智能手机成瘾会使工作表现最大化还是最小化?评估生命入侵和技术枯竭的作用

摘要随着智能手机的种种神奇功能，智能手机成瘾成为一种普遍现象。然而，对于智能手机成瘾如何影响员工的个人和工作生活，人们缺乏基于理论的理解。本研究以压力-应变-结果(stress-strain-outcome, SSO)为模型基础，探讨智能手机成瘾在强化技术耗竭和生命入侵中的作用，以及这些因素对工作绩效的最终影响。通过一项调查，共从伊朗的办公室和服务人员中获得了475份答复。研究结果表明，智能手机成瘾会导致工作绩效的提高，而智能手机成瘾会显著增强生活入侵和技术枯竭，从而导致生活入侵和技术枯竭显著降低工作绩效。我们的研究结果表明，智能手机成瘾的直接和间接影响具有双重作用。讨论了对组织和员工的影响。

期刊介绍： The Asian Journal of Business Ethics (AJBE) publishes original articles from a wide variety of methodological and disciplinary perspectives concerning ethical issues related to business in Asia, including East, Southeast and South-central Asia. Like its well-known sister publication Journal of Business Ethics, AJBE examines the moral dimensions of production, consumption, labour relations, and organizational behavior, while taking into account the unique societal and ethical perspectives of the Asian region. The term ''business'' is understood in a wide sense to include all systems involved in the exchange of goods and services, while ''ethics'' is understood as applying to all human action aimed at securing a good life. We believe that issues concerning corporate responsibility are within the scope of ethics broadly construed. Systems of production, consumption, marketing, advertising, social and economic accounting, labour relations, public relations and organizational behaviour will be analyzed from a moral or ethical point of view. The style and level of dialogue involve all who are interested in business ethics - the business community, universities, government agencies, non-government organizations and consumer groups.The AJBE viewpoint is especially relevant today, as global business initiatives bring eastern and western companies together in new and ever more complex patterns of cooperation and competition.
