Four essays on IT users' psychological states and behaviors
This dissertation is intended to study information technology (IT) users’
psychological states and behaviors. It consists of four essays. The first essay
examines how people react to social networking services (SNS). In this essay,
we attempted to extend the existing model, which includes dedication- and
constraint-based mechanisms, by additionally including the obligation-based
mechanism underlying SNS-related behavior. The second essay is designed to
investigate individuals’ smartphone use. In particular, we focused on the role
of smartphone addiction in shaping individuals’ perceptions about their
smartphone. The third essay is about online community behavior. Drawing on

tested a theoretical framework on Non-Work-Related Computing. Drawing on
the concept of recovery, we investigated the antecedents and performance-related consequences of recovery factor.
