The Interplay of Job Satisfaction, Work-Life Balance, and Mental Health in the Era of Social Media

Abstract

The conceptual study aims to answer crucial questions like the relationship between social media exposure and mental health outcomes. The current research gap is provided by reviewing existing studies and providing clear evidence that unregulated and unlimited social media poses a threat to enterprises and individuals, with potentially lasting consequences to psychological wellbeing, pointing towards the need for strategic interventions and policy developments to mitigate these adverse effects. Building upon insights into the work environment and employee psychology, these findings are valuable for leaders and managers. They enhance understanding of how employee perceptions of their work environment, intrinsic and extrinsic work-related attitudes, and psychological wellbeing collectively influence job performance. While existing literature has explored various leadership styles, the specific moderating impact of the supervisor’s role on job satisfaction and performance requires further study.
