Abstract

The increasing integration of social media into workplace environments has created both opportunities and challenges for employee well-being, particularly among Generation Z employees who are highly dependent on digital communication and continuous connectivity. While social media can facilitate information exchange and social interaction, excessive use may contribute to psychological strain and work-related stress. This study aims to examine the effect of social media use on work stress among Generation Z employees in Indonesia, with self-control serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative research approach was employed using data collected from 160 Generation Z employees through an online questionnaire. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software. The results indicate that social media use has a significant negative effect on self-control and a significant positive effect on work stress. In addition, self-control has a significant negative effect on work stress. The mediation analysis further reveals that self-control partially mediates the relationship between social media use and work stress. These findings suggest that the impact of social media on employee well-being is not solely determined by digital exposure but also by individuals’ capacity for self-regulation. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the psychological mechanisms underlying the relationship between social media use and work stress in the context of Generation Z employees in an emerging economy.
