Abstract

The interplay between nomophobia and phubbing is particularly relevant in the IT field due to the high dependence on mobile phones for work (Kuss et al., 2018). This study examined the relationship between nomophobia and phubbing among IT employees. In the present study, 200 participants working in different IT companies were selected using convenience sampling. The Nomophobia Questionnaire (Yildirim and Correia, 2015) and Phubbing scale (Karadağ et al., 2015) were used to collect the data. The results revealed that nomophobia was significantly and positively related to phubbing (r = .487 p < .001). This finding suggests that an increase in nomophobia was associated with an increase in phubbing among IT employees.
