Abstract

Purpose Due to the incredible criticisms by scholars of the excessive use of social media networks, this study aims to explore students’ motivation for social media use (SMU) and its effects on academic performance (AP) in the light of uses and gratification theory. Design/methodology/approach Using the simple random and snowball sampling techniques, this study has considered 299 responses and critically analyzed them using structural equation modeling through the AMOS version 24. The mediation analysis has been done to explore the effective use of social media networks. Findings The results reveal that video clip watching and nonacademic learning intentions significantly influence SMU and AP. Besides, socialization through friends and family connections has tremendously fostered SMU intention, while it could not benefit AP. This study found an exceptional result that the entertainment intention of the students did not influence SMU but dramatically impacted their AP. Again, SMU has robust effects on enhancing students’ academic achievement. This study also concluded the results of the mediation analysis. Practical implications The learners, professionals, higher education policymakers, etc. may benefit from following this study's guidelines for using social media networks. Social implications This study may tremendously contribute to changing the mindset of youth from addiction to SMU and improving AP. Originality/value The prime novelty of this study is to justify the mediation analysis for SMU to explore whether it can truly influence students’ AP and critically examine the deep insight of certain factors associated with SMU.
学生使用社交媒体的动机及其对学习成绩的影响——新兴市场的一种冥想方法
由于学者们对过度使用社交媒体网络的批评令人难以置信,本研究旨在根据使用与满足理论探讨学生使用社交媒体的动机及其对学习成绩的影响。采用简单的随机和滚雪球抽样技术,本研究考虑了299个响应,并通过AMOS version 24使用结构方程建模对其进行了批判性分析。本文通过中介分析来探讨社交媒体网络的有效使用。研究结果显示,视频剪辑观看和非学术性学习意愿显著影响SMU和AP。此外,通过朋友和家庭关系的社交极大地促进了SMU意愿,而对AP没有好处。本研究发现了一个特殊的结果,即学生的娱乐意愿对SMU没有影响,但对他们的AP有显著影响。本研究还总结了中介分析的结果。实践意义学习者、专业人士、高等教育政策制定者等可以从遵循本研究的社交媒体网络使用指南中受益。社会意义本研究可能对改变青少年从成瘾到新大的心态和提高AP做出巨大贡献。原创性/价值本研究的主要新颖之处在于证明了新大的中介分析是否能够真正影响学生的AP,并批判性地审视了新大相关因素的深刻见解。
