Abstract

This research focuses on the consumer cyborg's engagement with social media, online shopping, and tourism activities. The objective is to explore the effect of narcissism, social media addiction, and self-esteem on online shopping and tourism addiction. The survey involved 221 participants chosen through the convenient sampling method. The data was processed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation models. The findings of this study indicate that narcissism significantly influences social media addiction and self-esteem. Besides, social media addiction has a considerable effect on self-esteem. In addition, self-esteem significantly impacts both online shopping addiction and tourism addiction. These findings provide new insights into cyborg marketing and consumer addiction theory. © 2024 by the authors; licensee Growing Science, Canada.
