These results are consistent with the results of previous studies in the literature (Alan, Ozen Bekar, & Güngör, 2021).

Another study in the literature provides support for this finding.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of job satisfaction in the effect of smartphone addiction on employee performance. The study has been carried out in the health sector, which is the most crucial sector in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. Questionnaire forms have been prepared in accordance with the objectives of the study and they’ve been distributed to 400 people working in Adiyaman province and its districts through simple random sampling. 250 people have responded to the surveys. Five questionnaires with erroneous or partial answers haven’t been assessed. Thus, 245 questionnaires have been assessed and tested in line with the study's objectives. IBM SPSS 25, Amos 23 and Excel programs have been utilized for data analysis. The analysis's findings indicate that smartphone addiction negatively affects employee performance and job satisfaction. On the other hand, job satisfaction positively affects employee performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction has a partial mediating role in the effect of smartphone addiction on employee performance. In the conclusion part of the study, the results of the analysis have been compiled and compared with the findings of similar studies in the literature. The literature study has revealed that there has never been a thorough investigation of the mediating role that job satisfaction plays in the effect of smartphone addiction on employee performance. Therefore, this study fills a significant gap in the literature of organizational behavior.

In recent decades, new technologies have reshaped people's working environment. Both organizations and individuals have benefited a lot from these new technologies. However, everything is two-sided, which means the development of various new technologies in the work scene, such as smartphones, has had a series of negative effects on employees' job performance and their physical and mental health. Researchers generally regard smartphone addiction in the work scene as a behavioral addiction in a specific environment. The formation of employees' smartphone addiction is affected by many factors, in which psychological factors belonging to endogenous factors and working environment factors belonging to exogenous factors are significant. Besides, in the past three years, the outbreak and popularity of COVID-19 accelerates formation of employees' smartphone addiction. The influence of smartphones addiction on employees had advantages and disadvantages while it is generally believed that the disadvantages, which have numerous negative effects on employees' physical and psychological health, personal life, family and job performance, outweigh the advantages. The mechanism of psychological smartphone addiction can be explained by job demand–resource theory and boundary theory. In the future, we still need to pay attention to the influencing mechanism of smartphone addiction and employees' job performance and figure out the key influencing factors, so as to amplify the advantages of using smartphones in the work scene and make smartphone serve to the target of improving job performance.

“…The effect of nomophobia is thought to be related to the personality traits of individuals; however, there are not enough studies on this subject (15,29); however, studies (1,23) have been conducted to show the level of nomophobia in nursing students. In addition, there are several studies analyzing the relationship between the levels of nomophobia in varied populations and smartphone addiction and digitalization (30) with self-esteem and obesity (31), anxiety (32), and fear of missing out on developments in social environments (33) with the concepts of job performance (34). Nevertheless, while there is a study examining the relationship between the personality traits and nomophobia levels of the nurses working in a hospital (35), there is no study examining the relationship between the nomophobia levels and personality traits of nursing students in a more risky period in terms of nomophobia due to their adolescence characteristics.…”

Background: Nomophobia, short for no mobile phobia, is the fear of being without a smartphone. Nomophobia is common, especially in the young population, with an increase in the use of technology in society. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the nomophobia levels of nursing students and the relationship between nomophobia and personality traits. Methods: This multicenter, descriptive, and relational study was carried out in three different universities. The students were reached via the Web-Anket application within June to July 2021. The nursing department students in Turkey (n = 818) constituted the research population. No sample selection was performed in the study, and all students who accepted to participate and met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. The study was conducted on 424 nursing students. The data were collected via an online personal information form, Nomophobia Questionnaire, and 10-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI). Percentage, mean ± standard deviation, analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation coefficient tests were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean age of the participants was 20.5 ± 1.8 years. Moreover, 84.7% of the participants were female. Additionally, 93.2% of the subjects lived with their parents, and 63.0% reported that the monthly income of the family was equal to monthly expenditures. It was shown that 31.1% of the students had mild nomophobia; nevertheless, 52.6% and 16.3% of the students had moderate and severe nomophobia, respectively. The total nomophobia score was observed to be 74.17 ± 25.53. The TIPI subdimensions’ mean scores were 9.87 ± 2.29, 8.83 ± 2.33, 8.66 ± 2.82, 10.66 ± 2.65, and 9.34 ± 3.04 for openness to experience, agreeableness, emotional stability, conscientiousness, and extroversion, respectively. This study revealed that students’ smartphone usage purposes and personality traits were related to their nomophobia levels. Conclusions: More than half of the nursing students had a moderate level of nomophobia. There is a relationship between the purpose of smartphone use and students’ personality traits with their nomophobia levels.
