Occurrence, Contributing Factors, and Impact of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) in Workers: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) is a set of psychological symptoms associated with social media use. Various studies show that FOMO is a health problem that can occur to everyone because it is inevitable that today almost everyone relies on communication technology, especially mobile phones, in their social interactions by accessing various social media platforms, including work activities. Studies that have been conducted still focus on FOMO among adolescents, students, and very limited studies on workers. Through a systematic literature review, the phenomenon of FOMO in workers is described in the form of occurrence, contributing factors, and impact. These results can be used as a basis for various stakeholders including health professionals to develop prevention and mitigation programs for FOMO so that workers' health can be improved.
