The increasing penetration of online social networks (OSNs) and smartphones, particularly among young people, raises questions about their effects on academic performance and workplace productivity. This research aimed to assess the degree of addiction, gender differences, and the relationship between addiction to OSNs and smartphones, as well as discrepancies in perceptions among students, teachers, and academic directors. A mixed-methods design was employed, including in-depth interviews and questionnaires validated in Spanish, surveying 88 faculty members and 461 undergraduate students in Buenos Aires. The results indicate that academic directors believe excessive use of OSNs distracts and decreases productivity. Although they do not see the need for regulation, there is consensus on the crucial role of teachers. Faculty members report concentration problems in students, and a correlation is observed between addiction to smartphones and OSNs, with higher levels of addiction found among women.
La creciente penetración de redes sociales online (RSO) y smartphones, especialmente entre jóvenes, plantea interrogantes sobre sus efectos en el rendimiento académico y la productividad laboral. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivos evaluar el grado de adicción, las diferencias de género y la relación entre la adicción a las RSO y smartphones, así como las discrepancias en las percepciones de alumnos, profesores y directores académicos. Se empleó un diseño metodológico mixto incluyendo entrevistas en profundidad y cuestionarios validados en español, encuestando a 88 docentes y 461 estudiantes de pregrado en Buenos Aires. Los resultados indican que los directivos académicos consideran que el uso excesivo de las RSO distrae y disminuye la productividad. Aunque no ven necesaria una regulación, coinciden en el papel crucial del docente. Estos reportan problemas de concentración en estudiantes, y se observa una correlación entre la adicción a smartphones y RSO, con mayores niveles de adicción en mujeres.
