In this study, we aimed to examine the levels of leisure boredom, job
burnout and social media addiction according to some variables, and
the predictive power of the leisure boredom on job burnout and
social media addiction was determined. In this quantitative study,
the relational screening model was used. Convenience sampling
method was preferred in determining the study group. 224 women
(54.7%) and 185 men (45.2%) participated in the study. The results
indicated that women had higher levels of job burnout than men.
Furthermore, individuals who regularly participated in physical
activity had lower levels of job burnout and leisure boredom. In
addition, the study determined that participants’ virtual tolerance
and virtual communication levels increased with an increase in their
daily social media use frequency. The results revealed that leisure
boredom was a significant predictor of participants’ job burnout and
social media addiction. It can be inferred that as participants’ leisure
boredom increased, their job burnout and social media addiction
increased.
