Impact of Social Media Usage & Social Engagement on Physical- Mental Health of Young Employees
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 04
Abstract
Due to the dispensable exercise of social media, young employees have reduced social engagement. The objective of the present study was to find out the impact of the exertion of social media and social engagement on the physical-mental health issues of young professionals working in diverse sectors. Together 431 young respondents age group 22-38 have responded to the questionnaire about the use of social media, social engagement, and their physical mental health issues. Principal Factor analysis revealed unique factors measuring employee social media, social engagement, and physical-mental health issues. Scale reliability was .80, .79, and .60, for social media, physical-mental health issues, and social engagement respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficient revealed a positive association between excess usage of social media and increased physical-mental health problems. There was a negative relationship found between high social engagements and reduced physical-mental health issues among the employees. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed and validated all three measured scales. The structural equation model revealed a positive effect of social media usage upon increased physical-mental health issues. However, social engagements were found to have a negative relationship with reduced physical-mental health of the young employees. This signifies that the overburdening use of social media increases physical-mental health problems among young professionals. However, social engagement reduces the physical-mental health issues among the employees significantly. The present study recommends that social engagement is required for young professionals to keep them healthy.
