Due to these challenges, it may be harder when working remotely to fulfil central work-related needs, as described by self-determination theory (SDT), resulting in workplace fear of missing out (wFoMO) the anxiety of not being up-to-date stemming from physical disconnection from the office.

The current study examined whether individual differences in fear of missing out (FOMO) affect employee job performance. This was accomplished by investigating the mediating role of burnout and social media engagement (SME).
