“…FOMO connection with the amount of social media usage (SMU) has grabbed the attention of a substantial number of researchers in the past. Also, a substantial number of studies in the past have confirmed that using social media is one of the popular activities among youngsters (Singh and Gill, 2015; Kuss and Griffiths, 2017; Rautela and Singhal, 2017).…”

Purpose With the rapid improvement in digital infrastructure, the popularity of digital devices and smartphones in every pocket, the yearning to stay connected with others has increased manifold, especially in youngsters. This has raised multiple concerns primarily related to the problematic usage of the internet (PUI). The current research study aims to scrutinize the association between PUI, psychological and mental health (PMH), social media fatigue (SMF), fear of missing out (FOMO), desire to disconnect (DD) and its relation with a novel phenomenon of joy of missing out (JOMO). Design/methodology/approach The present research study embraces the empirical research method through quantitative analysis. The proposed theoretical model was empirically tested using primary data, collected through a self-designed structured questionnaire. The study sample included individuals between 16 and 39 years of age as these are the most active demographics on social media. The model is empirically tested with the help of structural equation modeling applied using software IBM AMOS 20.0 and SPSS 22.0. Initially, first-order confirmatory factor analysis was conducted, to measure and test the fit indices of the proposed model. Secondly, path analysis using structural equation modeling was carried out for the model. Findings Empirical synthesis of this research shows that PUI significantly and positively impacts mental and psychological health, FOMO and SMF. Also, SMF significantly and positively affects the DD which significantly and positively affects the JOMO. However, as depicted by the results of this study, FOMO have no considerable impact on SMF. Originality/value A study that connects the PUI with PMH, SMF and FOMO is rare to find. Second, this study uses data collected from social media users of India in the age group of 16–39 years. This slice of the population is most active in internet, and internet-enabled platform and are scantly studied, especially in the Indian context. This makes the study more exciting and crucial.

“…A FOMO és a közösségimédia-tartalmak fogyasztásával kapcsolatos függőségek nehezen elválasztható témakörök. A digitális infrastruktúra gyors fejlődésével, a digitális eszközök és a minden zsebben megtalálható okostelefonok népszerűségével sokszorosára nőtt a másokkal való kapcsolattartás iránti vágy, különösen a fiatalok körében, ahol a közösségimédia-használat az egyik legnépszerűbb általános tevékenység (Singh & Gill, 2015;Kuss & Griffiths, 2017;Rautela & Singhal, 2017). Ez számos aggályt vetett fel, elsősorban az internet (azon belül a közösségi média) problémás használatával kapcsolatban (Rautela & Sharma, 2022).…”

A FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) jelensége arra a félelemre utal, amikor egy felhasználó tart attól, hogy az online tartalmakat és mások interakcióit nem láthatja, nem időben reagálhat rájuk, vagy vesz részt élőben az adott aktivitáson. A FOMO érzése szorongáshoz, alvászavarokhoz, a koncentráció hiányához és a közösségi médiától való krónikus függéshez vezethet. Megjelent azonban az “ellentrend”, a Joy of Missing Out: az egészséges “diszkonnektivitás”, az online platformokról történő szándékolt, jó érzésű lecsatlakozás. A szerzők kutatása az általános és munkahelyi FOMO-jelenség dinamikáit vizsgálja a közösségimédia-addikció függvényében. A szakirodalmi elemzés eredményeit a Web of Science adatbázisát alkalmazva összefüggés-vizualizáció illusztrálja. A négy kutatási hipotézis vizsgálatához többváltozós elemzést alkalmaztak. A FOMO-jelenség elemzésénél két faktort azonosítottak: a másokhoz való viszonyítást (online) és a kimaradásélményt (offline). A munkahelyi FOMO esetén is két faktort emeltek ki: a kapcsolati kirekesztést és az információs kirekesztést.

“…Past studies have also revealed that social media usage is most popular among the youngsters, and this segment forms the major pie of social media users (Wang et al , 2012; Singh and Gill, 2015; Rautela and Singhal, 2017). India is home to the largest number of youth population in the world (Mehta et al , 2020).…”

PurposeThe business environment is changing and so are the rules of doing business. Constant innovation is the key to win in this dynamic marketplace, so that the new ideas get converted into new marketable products quickly with the least possible mistake. One way to inculcate innovation is by the participation of customers in the new product development (NPD) process. Platforms like social media has provided an opportunity for firms to communicate, co-create and collaborate with customers. The present study aims to understand the customers' participation in three phases, namely idea generation, development and commercialization of the NPD process for its effectiveness.Design/methodology/approachWith the help of review of existing literature, a theoretical model is proposed. This model is then empirically evaluated with data of 213 respondents using structural equation modelling (SEM). The respondents are majorly young social media users in India.FindingsThe results highlight that customer involvement is important in idea generation and commercialization phase of NPD process for its effectiveness. Also, the effectiveness of NPD process affects the financial performance of the firm. The use of social media is considered for its mediating role in NPD process effectiveness during the three phases. The results show that it has an effective role to play during the idea generation phase.Originality/valueConsumers’ perspective concerning usage of social media for their participation in NPD is an unexplored area in general and in the Indian context in particular. To fill this research gap the present study is carried out.
