Considering the growth and diversification of literature on this subject, we propose discussing the factors influencing innovation. This article exposes a literature review focused on the systematisation of factors that foster or inhibit innovation, presenting a qualitative classification sustained on two main criteria: organisational capital and professional capital. The built typology harmonises criteria concerning innovation's functional, strategic, relational, behavioural, and environmental aspects. Additionally, it aims to fulfil an epistemic, phenomenological, and propositional purpose. The typology congregates a scheme of constructs that integratively systematise and organise 118 factors described in the literature that influence the school's organisation. Journal: Int. J. of Innovation and Learning Pages: 74-98 Issue: 1 Volume: 35 Year: 2024 Keywords: innovation; typology; transformational capital; organisational capital; professional capital.

The study aims to explore the role of lecturer competency towards the student's grit, motivation, and performance. Based on the stimulus-organism-response model, the study performed an online survey with Google Forms, enrolling 416 undergraduate students attending courses and examinations through online learning systems. The result indicates that lecturer competency has a positive relationship with a student's grit, motivation and performance. Moreover, student's grit and motivation mediate the relationship between lecturer competency and student performance. Consequently, designing online courses with the consideration of improving social interactions and encouraging the student's ability to monitor their learning processes without lecturers' guidance is a crucial task for lecturers and universities. It is also a milestone in exposing and preparing students readiness toward Education 4.0. Journal: Int.

Because of the overlap between being a student and other roles when they are at home, students need to play a variety of roles. With the social role theory as the theoretical framework, this qualitative case study had an in-depth investigation on seven college students' current self-role and current learning situation at home during COVID-19. The findings highlighted that college students mainly faced the following three role conflicts: the conflicts caused by difficulties in adapting to multiple roles, the conflicts caused by different role expectations on their behaviours, and the conflicts caused by insufficient role comprehension on role cognition. This study also revealed that these role conflicts would have a certain negative impact on college students' learning and living. However, college students had positive attitudes towards the role conflicts and challenges. They still worked hard to overcome role conflicts, positively took the family and social responsibilities, and tried to realise their own values when fighting against the pandemic. Implications are discussed in detail. Journal: Int. J. of Innovation and Learning Pages: 389-403 Issue: 4 Volume: 36 Year: 2024 Keywords: online learning; social role theory; role conflict.

Based on a sample of 165 respondents from Denmark and Germany, this article finds that an error management culture is a necessary condition for innovation and employee satisfaction. The findings suggest that a high degree of innovation requires a high level of error management culture, whereas a high degree of satisfaction only requires a low degree of error management culture. Adding a new method to this field, the article hopes to set a new baseline for further investigation into the relevance of error culture. This paper contributes theoretically, practically, and methodologically to the field of error research. Journal: Int.

Understanding how students feel communication apprehension in virtual contexts has become a topic of increasing importance in the field of communication studies. Data was gathered from 470 first-year students at a private Taiwanese institution. The outcomes show that students with higher communication apprehension preferred technology because it required social presence. Secondly, teachers could play an active role in improving students' technological learning through facilitating conditions. Thirdly, it is essential to develop favourable perceptions of the usefulness of technology in online courses. Finally, our study found that moderating effects of facilitating conditions and perceived usefulness directly impacted their attitude towards technology, which enhanced their overall perceived learning. We contend that once students develop a positive attitude towards technology, even first-year students taking online courses for the first time can achieve good academic performance. Journal: Int.

The study developed a framework that depicted the association between organisational innovation, competitive advantage, and export performance. Hypotheses on competitive advantage (differentiation advantage and low-cost advantage) that mediates the link between organisational innovation (product, production process, marketing, and managerial innovation) and export performance were tested through meta-analysis. The findings demonstrated that organisational innovation was a significant tool to gain superior export performance in the international market through competitive advantage. The results revealed a positive mediating effect of competitive advantage in relation to organisational innovation and export performance that support competitive advantage and dynamic capability theories. The study aimed to contribute to the existing literature by deducing the results, exploring the potential impact of competitive advantage on the link between organisational innovation and export performance. The findings have provided new insight to both researchers and practitioners about the vital role of organisational innovation in achieving a competitive advantage and superior export performance.

Therefore, the ministry, responsible for higher education has developed and implemented various policy instruments to encourage institutions to develop transferable skills and competences expected by the labour market. An analysis and comparison of the characteristics of the policy instruments has been carried out as a case study. The contribution concludes with a reflection on additional features and objectives of possible further usage of policy instruments related to recent global developments in the higher education area and wider. A limitation of this case study is that it has not been possible to present the effects of the instruments, as some have recently ended, others are ongoing or have just started. Journal: Int.

Abstract: This research examines whether marketing capabilities explain the indirect nexus between learning orientation and small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) performance. The study employed a quantitative research approach and explanatory research design in finding answers to the set objectives of the study using a structured research questionnaire. This study established that learning orientation-marketing capabilities and marketing capabilities-firm performance linkages are substantial whilst learning orientation-firm performance nexus is weak. Accordingly, marketing capabilities have a partial mediating effect on the relationship between learning orientation and firm performance. Thus, SME managers are entreated to adopt a proactive management philosophy that is typified by a learning orientation posture that supports marketing capabilities initiatives in order to improve performance. Through learning, SME managers would be able to determine the kind of products, price and promotion strategies that resonate well with the target market and hence help improve performance.

The research was conducted through an investigation utilising a sample of four public universities, involving 203 employees. Data is collected from multiple sources of evidence, including survey, a focus group, and semi-structured interviews. Thus, the methodology adopted was the analytical approach through modelling relationships of multiples variables based on structural equation model (PLS-SEM). The findings proved that there exists an indirect relationship between staff and faculty determinants and HR capabilities. Furthermore, the professional development and evaluation as accreditation criteria influence the determinants of HR capabilities through the decrypting of engagement of people, which ensure equilibrium between the intention of employees and their confidence level to promote their skills and behaviour.

Besides, the advancement of mobile devices and virtual communities has changed how information and working behaviours are processed and promoted KS activities in logistic firms. Therefore, with the integration of three theories, including social influence, technology acceptance model, and social cognition, this study aims to explore the antecedents of mobilised KS intention and behaviour and to make a more comprehensive framework for mobilised KS. A structured questionnaire investigated 377 employees in 31 units in logistics firms. The study found that social influence factors were positively related to the mobilised KS intention, and KS intention was also positively associated with KS behaviour. However, technology trust has a moderating effect on the relationship between mobilised KS intention and behaviour. This study's novelty is integrating the antecedents of mobilised KS intention and behaviour into three theories. Journal: Int.

The logistics managers who were willing to assist distributed 799 questionnaires to employees with at least one year of work experience. The survey yielded 610 valid responses, with a 76% response rate. According to research findings: 1) employees engaged in KS more frequently when logistics firms had better HRM practices; 2) logistics firms that have better HRM systems become more innovative organisations with high performance; 3) HRM practices were strengthened by employees' OSP. A strategic approach to HRM can be derived from research results. Through team interactions and sharing, knowledge can be developed, and employees can become more innovative. In addition, employees' KS can be reinforced by OSP. Journal: Int.

They constitute a recent field of research that grew significantly in 2016. We conducted a systematic literature review with bibliometric and content analysis to understand how it developed. We propose some questions: Does an ecosystem need an accelerator, and if so, need a specific kind of accelerator? We also explore the prospects and opportunities for research related to ecosystems and acceleration. We identified that ecosystems need acceleration programs aligned with the actors involved and propose some paths to avoid pitfalls. We present six research streams to explore in this field: more variety of methods; comparison between models and practices; evaluation of different programs and impact on ecosystems; more diversity of contexts; focus on specific sectors; and the role of innovation intermediaries in ecosystems. Finally, we added the networking component to the acceleration definition. Journal: Int.

However, measuring the effectiveness of open innovation value co-creation remains a challenge due to the dearth of studies, particularly in the context of Sri Lankan ICT startups. This paper aims to address this gap by developing a quantitative measurement instrument for open innovation value co-creation. The study explores the key dimensions of open innovation value co-creation and identifies relevant measures that can capture the performance of Sri Lankan ICT startups. The measurement instrument is based on a review of priori-based literature as well as empirical data collected from a representative sample. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used on primary data collected from ICT startups. The developed measure was tested for reliability and validity and it consisted of two main dimensions, four sub-dimensions and 13 indicators. Journal: Int.

It has been mandated that English is taught every day from grade 1 onwards, one hour per day, five days a week, and by the end of grade 6, students should achieve the CEFR A1. This research investigated the current policy implemented at a primary school where two different English language learning programs, non-English program (non-EP) and English program (EP), were innovated. At the end of the school year, 108 grade 6 students took the Cambridge Young Learners English Test (A1 Mover). The results showed that, CEFR A1 for Thai EFL grade 6 students is attainable. Almost all showed great potential to progress to the next CEFR level; a few might need extra help in a particular skill like listening. Journal: Int.

This study followed experimental research design along sample size of 589. After confirming the constructs of learning, satisfaction, and attitude through CFA, their structural relationship with 'purchase intention' as target construct is tested by SEM. Major findings of this study refer to the fact that shoppers' purchase intention is the ultimate consequence of their learning, satisfaction, and attitude as serial mediators. The novelty of this study refers to the simultaneous and serial effects of learning, satisfaction, and attitude on the purchase intention with the moderation of demographic variables. Implications of this study say that the retailers can make the target consumers learn in the way of their satisfaction, positive attitude and intention towards the brands and services. Journal: Int.

Understanding the consumer's behaviour is potentially the key to creating increasingly effective marketing strategies. Consumer purchasing behaviour is a mental and behavioural process influenced by various factors, depending on the product type and the need the consumer wants to satisfy. Master's thesis research has determined the multiple factors that come into play when purchasing dark chocolate and consumers' views of the studied product. Dark chocolate consumers primarily purchase it because of its taste but place great importance on the cocoa content. Positive health benefits are considered necessary, while the product's brand, habit or packaging has no visible influence over the purchase. Consumers place a lot of importance on the information provided on the product's packaging. It is believed that the dark chocolate maker guarantees the quality and safety of the product by providing additional information. Journal: Int.

The application of educational games in the built environment (property, building, and construction) is scarcely explored. This study adopted bibliometric and content analyses to explore integrating educational games into the property and built environment teaching and learning process. It is part of a pilot project for creating a property game for students in higher education, which will improve their learning and modelling of real-world events. Findings showed that educational games were more explored in the global north and social science, computer science, and engineering science. Gaming also effectively enhanced students' motivation, learning attitudes, participation, and academic achievement. Further research in property and built environment-related courses is required especially in developing countries. The findings could engender more discussions on implementing educational games in built-environment curricula to facilitate students' learning. Journal: Int.

Moderating effect of organisational unlearning Abstract: The turbulent business environment caused by digital technology has impacted businesses, particularly traditional media (print, radio and television). Many entrepreneurial incumbent firms are unable to transform into digital businesses despite having slack resources. This study aims to find the influence of organisational unlearning (OU) on digital transformation by drawing the multidimensional entrepreneurial orientation (EO) (innovativeness, proactiveness and risk-taking) and organisational ambidexterity (OA) (exploitation-exploration) relationship model. The survey was undertaken at the firm level, and 161 samples were collected from traditional media firms and were analysed using SmartPLS4 software. The result reveals that innovativeness is an essential factor in pursuing digital transformation. As each dimension is distinctive, EO and OA are better studied with a multidimensional approach. This study also confirms the influence of OU in the EO and OA relationship. Journal: Int.

A total of 233 research articles between 2004 and 2023 were collected from Scopus for this study. They were analysed in terms of the relevant types and sources of data, targets of prediction, learning analytics methods, and performance metrics. The results show that data related to students' academic performance, socio-demographics, and learning behaviours have been commonly collected. Most studies have addressed the identification of students who have a higher chance of poor academic performance or dropping out of their courses. Decision trees, random forests, and artificial neural networks are the most frequently used techniques for prediction, with ensemble methods gaining popularity in recent years. Classification accuracy, recall, sensitivity, and true positive rate are commonly used as performance metrics for evaluation. The results reveal the potential of learning analytics for informing timely and evidence-based support for at-risk students. Journal: Int.

Despite their potential for economic growth and even though the number of studies on microenterprise innovation has recently grown microenterprises remain an under-researched topic. Therefore, an overall analysis of what has already been found by earlier studies on the innovation in microenterprises could benefit the field. The study summarises the findings of 105 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. The 14 themes found by the thematic analysis are integrated into a framework which links the antecedents, external resources and internal processes of innovation together with capabilities and innovation outcomes. The study points out measures for enhancing innovation and sustainable growth of microenterprises. In addition, it suggests policy recommendations and directions for future research. Journal: Int.

This study investigates whether specific technological tools and flipped classrooms properly engage the students in a small online class in a problem-based learning (PBL) environment and the role of teacher's strategy. The research is based on action research and draws upon the theory of transactional distance and engagement interface. The fieldwork is a bachelor's course in management accounting at a Danish business school. Data were collected from documents used for course development, the author's observations, and a survey collecting student feedback. Findings underline that appropriate pedagogical and communication tools and teaching strategy were even more relevant to enhancing student engagement in an online class during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus shedding light on how to transform teachers' challenges into opportunities also in the post-pandemic period, as teaching and learning require a co-constructive process between the teacher and students.

The DBM aims to enhance the competitiveness and resilience of SMEs by strategically capturing value to foster agility. Management by values (MBVs), analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and sand cone model (SCM) provide the theoretical foundation to the suggested DBM. The study extends the literature on SMEs, business model innovation, and suggests a fundamental lean plan for balancing efficiency and flexibility, as a managerial implication. Journal: Int.

However, many current PL approaches lack adaptability, flexibility, and consideration for the South African educational system. This study aimed to create a mobile computing PL model (MPCL) that enhances learner motivation. Through factor analysis and principal component analysis (PCA), influential PL factors were identified and a conceptual model was developed. A South African university provided data via an online questionnaire, which was quantitatively analysed. The results revealed that factors such as social support and outcome expectations significantly impacted MPCL, while content currency did not contribute significantly. This research expands the limited knowledge on MPCL and establishes a basis for future investigations. The developed model can serve as a platform for subsequent researchers to build upon in related research areas. Journal: Int.

The aim of this study is to find out the factors that influence university students' attention level. A questionnaire about students' level of attention during online courses was completed by English-majored students of different professional directions in a Chinese university (n = 611). Comparative tests show that gender difference in the attention level is significant in that female students take COVID-19 more seriously than male students as they cheat less and work harder; female students have a greater level of attention than male students do. Test results also show that grade difference is statistically significant in that freshmen have the greatest level of attention, and junior students are easier to adapt to online education and to use online platform.

Furthermore, the context of globalisation and market openness requires efficient monitoring and assessment of national innovation systems (NISs) to allow efficient interventions of decision makers. This paper presents a methodological framework for the analysis of a country's NIS in an international context, and the identification of relevant levers for its improvement. This paper also presents case studies where the proposed framework is applied to analyse three NISs, namely those of Morocco, Turkey and Spain. These NISs are analysed qualitatively and quantitatively with suggestion of improvement levers. The scope of these case studies is global, using the Global Innovation Index data over five years (2015-2019), and data analysis techniques. Journal: Int.

The results demonstrated that: 1) students' learning satisfaction for offline teaching mode was significantly higher than that for online mode; 2) teacher-student interaction, student-student interaction, course content and teacher quality were significantly positively correlated with both online and offline learning satisfaction, respectively. Furthermore, teacher-student interaction and student-student interaction positively predict offline learning satisfaction, while student-student interaction and teacher quality positively predict online learning satisfaction; 3) offline learning satisfaction significantly affected students' evaluation of learning outcomes as well as their preference of teaching mode. Specifically, the more satisfaction they had of offline teaching mode, the students were more likely to indicate the learning outcomes of offline courses was higher than that of online courses, and prefer to choose offline teaching mode as well as the blended teaching mode.

The research employed a simple random sampling with the survey participation of 213 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from various fields in Vietnam and then used partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) as an analysis technique. The findings indicate that there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between digital capabilities and firm performance, with a mediating effect of digital innovation on this relation. Digital leadership as a dynamic capability facilitates SMEs in developing digital capabilities and digital innovation and positively affects firm performance. Technological uncertainty has a direct impact on digital capabilities and digital innovation and has an indirect effect on firm performance. This research makes both theoretical and practical contributions. Journal: Int.

It involves planning, coordination and oversight while introducing and implementing new ideas, processes, products or methods. However, knowledge in this field is lacking. This qualitative case study (2018-2023) aims to contribute to the understanding of managing innovation activities in a public university hospital by examining staff perceptions at one Finnish public university hospital. The primary data comprised semi-structured interviews with staff representatives (n = 13) from various professional groups. Data were analysed using content analysis. The findings indicated three main categories for describing management of innovation activities: 1) unifies and transparently justifies innovation activities; 2) enables participation in innovation activities; 3) ensures expertise, development and maintenance of innovation activities. Various skills, with an emphasis on effective communication, considering the context's unique characteristics and being prepared to reform traditional structures are required to manage innovation activities.

The study aims to determine if specific leadership styles used by fire department leaders contribute to these satisfaction levels. The study employs a comprehensive research approach, combining a literature review and quantitative research. A survey gathers empirical data on leadership styles, satisfaction levels, and demographics. Correlations between leadership styles and member satisfaction were weak but statistically significant. Democratic and transformational styles correlate positively, while authoritarian and laissez-faire styles negatively correlate with member satisfaction. The study acknowledges certain limitations, including the use of multiple-choice questions, the scope limited to the Styrian Volunteer Fire Department, and potential response biases. Journal: Int.

The method used for data collection was a structured online questionnaire. The survey revealed an important functional correlation between consumers and probiotic dairy products in terms of their beneficial effects on digestion and overall health. In addition to the good taste that consumers recognised in probiotic dairy products, the quality and naturalness of the product, which is expressed in the attributes 'natural aroma' and 'free of artificial colours', are also important. The aforementioned attributes have proved to be crucial for the future communication strategy of probiotic dairy products. Consumer attitudes show that there is an opportunity to position probiotic around holistic health. Journal: Int.

It has the potential to improve academic performance, but a review of existing literature indicates a lack of agreement on the relationship between mobile devices and the academic performance of students. In addition, the original TTF was introduced to predict firm performance and technology adoption without considering individual characteristics. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate how smartphone-based learning in TTF and related technology readiness index (TRI) constructs (including personal innovativeness and optimism) affect university students' academic performance. A total of 163 valid responses were collected and used in data analysis. The results indicated that task characteristics, personal innovativeness, and optimism have a significant positive influence on TTF, while technology characteristics are not significant. In addition, TTF shows a direct positive and significant influence on students' academic performance. Journal: Int.

In addition, there is a dearth of studies looking at how psychological empowerment dimensions influence IWBs like creativity and innovation capability. A quantitative study with questionnaire was used to survey 500 research and development (R&D) staff. Data was analysed using PLS-SEM. Only the competence and self-determination components of psychological empowerment significantly affect employees' creativity, although all four dimensions positively affect innovative capability. Impact alone has little effect on creative self-efficacy. Creative self-efficacy mediates between psychological empowerment dimensions (except impact dimension) and innovative work behaviours. This study uses the importance-performance matrix analysis (IPMA) methodology to identify the important constructs to prioritise managerial actions. Employees view self-determination and meaning as the most significant factors for creativity and innovation capability respectively, according to IPMA. Journal: Int. J. of Innovation and Learning Pages: 179-212 Issue: 2 Volume: 36 Year: 2024 Keywords: creativity; innovation capability; psychological empowerment; innovative behaviours; importance-performance matrix analysis; IPMA; innovative work behaviour; IWB.

This study examined the relationship between mathematics teachers' TPACK and teacher training, technology access, and technology use. Participants were 125 mathematics teachers from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania who filled in the TPACK survey scale. Descriptive analysis showed that teachers with training, access, and use of technology had higher TPACK than those without. Regressions analysis showed that in-service and pre-service teacher training and the use of technology for administrative activities were significant predictors of TPACK. Surprisingly, instructional use of technology was not a significant predictor of TPACK just as was the case with access to technology. These findings suggest the need to address technology integration beyond the simple provision of hardware and software to include teacher training and actual use. Journal: Int.

The objective of this study is to analyse the level of culture shock (CS) that university students have manifested after the period of distance learning (DL) and their physical return to university facilities. The Mumford (1998) questionnaire for the measurement of culture shock (CSQ) was implemented. Qualitative and quantitative data were collected from 341 questionnaires. The survey sample consists of university students from five different Italian universities. The study offers an innovative application to CSQ questionnaire (1998). Results show that university students suffer from culture shock when they return to university facilities after distance learning. Women with an average age above 30, in large universities, is the category most affected by culture shock. The results can help universities introduce actions to aid students' psychological and emotional well-being. Journal: Int.

This study, based on a qualitative methodological approach, analyses the perceptions of education professionals (nine teachers and ten leaders) about innovation processes from an inclusive paradigm. The results reveal the inexistence of a common framework that delimits educational innovation. Differences are observed based on the experiences of these professionals. Teachers claim the need to establish common innovation projects in schools so that they have sufficient information and training at their disposal to allow them to develop innovative processes. All this, to respond to the fourth goal of sustainable development, which is based on providing quality education for all. Journal: Int.

It also explores MFL students' responses to language learning challenges provided via online flipped learning. This explanatory sequential mixed methods design study included 104 full-time undergraduate students participating in an elementary MFL course. The findings revealed that students were most involved in behavioural engagement and least in agentic engagement. The main code for language learning challenges was categorised into six themes: lack of self-efficacy, time management, social interaction issues, language elements, emotional problems, and physical environment constraints/technical difficulties. This study reveals that MFL students strived to adapt to the online flipped language learning approach compared to Mandarin language elements. Furthermore, it was observed that students had higher expectations of 'teacher being', which are affective aspects of being more involved in the learning context. Journal: Int.

This study adopts transactive memory systems (TMS), which are currently an important factor in information sharing. In social media, tourism information sharing activities occur, so social media can be said to be TMS. This paper discusses three measures used by TMS, namely specialisation, credibility, and coordination. This study uses an empirical analysis of 170 social media users. The data collected were analysed using the partial least square (PLS) method, a statistical analysis technique based on structural equation modelling (SEM). Our findings reveal that TMS credibility is positively related to community commitment and communication quality, likewise with TMS coordination, but not for TMS specialisation; it was not found to be related to communication commitment and communication quality. Other findings reveal a significant relationship between community commitment and communication quality on acceptance of recommendations from social media. Journal: Int.
