“…Similarly, the effects of workplace loneliness on nomophobia and general belongingness levels were not statistically significant. When the related literature is examined, it is noteworthy that most of the studies focus on the relationships between loneliness, nomophobia and FoMO, especially on adolescents and university students (Çelebi et al, 20202;Gezgin & Ümmet, 2021;Pourmohseni Koluri et al, 2020). As a matter of fact, in a systematic review study conducted by Rodríguez-García et al ( 2020), 42 studies were specifically analyzed to examine the existing literature on nomophobia, and according to the results of these studies, it was revealed that nomophobia was generally investigated among adolescents and university students.…”

The fact that digital technologies have become an integral part of daily life and the widespread use of smartphones bring different problems with them. Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and No Mobile Phone Phobia (Nomophobia) are among these problems. It is noteworthy that these interrelated concepts are considered as digital diseases of the 21st century and in recent years, research on the variables explaining these concepts has increased. However, it is observed that these studies generally focus on children and young people called Generation Z. However, Nomophobia and FoMO are important sources of risk not only for young people, but also for adults called Generation Y, who spend most of their lives at workplaces. For employees, factors such as workplace loneliness and the need to belong can influence the risk of FoMO as much as Nomophobia. However, these influences that lead employees to FoMO syndromes are still under-researched. For this reason, the current study aims to examine the direct effects of workplace loneliness on FoMO and its indirect effects through general belongingness and Nomo. For this purpose, 204 people working in different sectors were reached and the data obtained from the voluntary participants were analyzed by structural regression analysis. In addition, it was observed that workplace loneliness had an indirect effect on the "acceptance and rejection" sub-dimensions of general belongingness and all components of nomophobia (not being able to access information, giving up convenience, losing connectedness, not being able to communicate) and all these effects were significant except for the rejection sub-dimension.

“…Bian and Leung (2015). examined the affiliation amid nomophobia and daily life functioning, finding that it can interrupt academic and professional activities (Gezgin & ÜMMET, 2021). Chóliz (2010) discussed how nomophobia could show the way to challenging mobile phone use and obsession, impacting individual relationships and social functioning.…”

Nomophobia is a term describing a growing fear in today’s world, the fear of being without a mobile device or beyond mobile phone contact. It is the biggest non-drug addiction of the 21st century and is mainly affected by teen-aged students. Those experiencing nomophobia may feel a sense of panic, anxiety, or distress when they are separated from their mobile phones. This work uses different statistical tools to identify the risk factor of nomophobia and machine learning techniques to propose a fresh way to measure and understand nomophobia. To create a predictive model for nomophobia, we gathered information from a broad sample (n = 357) of smartphone users and used a variety of machine learning methods. Using a questionnaire on 17 different factors and performing a statistically significant test (p<0.05) and ordinal logistic regression analysis on respondents age, level of education, CGPA, self-evaluation, per-day mobile phone usage, and use of media, we can recognize the most important features causative of nomophobia. The context of maximum phone usage is an important feature that highly affects nomophobia. About 201 respondents are at a moderate level. To develop a predictive model, decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), Gaussian Naïve Bayes (NB), and support vector machine (SVM) are utilized in this study for recognition of nomophobia addiction. Proposing an ensemble method to refine the predictive performance. From the analysis, we have found that the SVM feature selector with ensemble algorithm has classified the extent of smartphone addiction with a 57% accuracy rate. Our findings show that nomophobia tendencies can be accurately captured and predicted by machine learning approaches. The model distinguished between students who had symptoms of nomophobia and those who did not with remarkable accuracy. This study of machine learning-based methods presents a viable tool for diagnosing and treating nomophobia in students, eventually assisting in the creation of focused interventions and preventive measures.
