Abstract

TikTok application allows individuals to creatively express themselves through brief videos showcasing activities such as dancing, singing and other daily activities. Its popularity is on the rise, particularly among the youth. Nevertheless, it's also facing significant scrutiny. This study aims to gather and analyze social media usage data, specifically focusing on TikTok. It seeks to understand how individuals engage with the app and to evaluate whether its usage negatively impacts interpersonal communication among young people. Participants between the ages of 18 - 32 participated in the survey. The sample used in this study had 316 participants using purposive and quota-sampling techniques. The technological acceptance model is used in this study. SPSS data analysis app was used to analyze the data. The results revealed that the more time students spent on TikTok, the more they became unfocused when trying to interact with their peers. Similar results were noticed when considering losing touch with friends. Their attention was likely to be diverted during discussions. The more they used TikTok, the less attention tended to reduce. The findings indicated that Tik Tok might affect university student's abilities to interact personally. Therefore, interpersonal communication is gradually losing its significance as a catalyst of creativity. The interpretation of the data will aid in the development of techniques to reduce the harmful effects reinforce interpersonal communication and reduce students' addiction to TikTok.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of technology on public administration, emphasising both its transformative opportunities and the challenges it presents. In the context of increasing digitisation, the research explores how innovations such as e-governance, automation, and data-driven decision-making influence efficiency, transparency, and service delivery within government institutions. The purpose of the study is to assess how technological tools contribute to administrative effectiveness and citizen engagement while identifying barriers that hinder their full implementation. A quantitative research design was employed, using an online questionnaire completed by 70 government employees from different departments, supplemented by secondary data from local and international reports, scholarly articles, and official websites on technology and governance. The findings reveal that technology significantly improves service delivery, operational efficiency, and public participation in governance. However, issues such as inadequate digital infrastructure, limited digital literacy among public officials, and cybersecurity risks constrain the effective use of these innovations. The study concludes that to fully harness the benefits of technology in public administration, governments must invest in robust digital infrastructure, provide continuous training for public servants, and implement policies promoting digital literacy and data protection. Addressing these challenges will strengthen institutional performance, enhance citizen trust, and ensure that public administration adapts effectively to the evolving demands of modern governance.
