Description

Technostress resulting from the use of social media and social streaming services is usually associated with negative consequences, such as lower user participation and engagement. This paper, however, finds evidence that the perception of stress in association with the use of social streaming services also positively impacts user participation and engagement by disentangling the concept of stress into eustress and distress. Data from 147 social streaming services users were collected and analyzed with structural equation modeling. The results confirm that perceived eustress positively affects user participation and engagement, while perceived distress decreases user participation and engagement. Separating the concept of user participation and engagement into benign and malicious user participation and engagement reveals that eustress is positively related to benign user participation and engagement, whereas perceived distress is positively associated with malicious user participation and engagement.
