  • Can autism skip out on augmented reality?   Order a copy of this article
    by M. Shricharan, S.P. Raja, G. Arulkumaran 
    Abstract: This paper discovers to unravel the possibilities of accessing services of augmented reality (AR) for handling autism. At present, AR paved the way for establishing active and engaging environments where autism developed children could move around and learn to process their surroundings to facilitate social and verbal skills. Training with AR could not be more exhilarating for the individuals since it presented to them real life scenarios through which they were able to master skills to mend themselves in a protected and supportive environment. The inclusion of AR in autism treatment has immense potential for revolutionising individualised care to improve learning by reducing anxiety levels. Specialised care for each individual according to his/her disorder like unique immersive surrounding. Future developments for catering the needs of autistic individuals should concentrate on refining AR products and foster collaboration for the greater good of the society.

  • Influence of personal and social motivation on the attitude towards academic success in higher education: an analysis with PLS-SEM   Order a copy of this article
    by Jerfenzon Salazar-Tabima 
    Abstract: This study analyses the influence of personal and social motivation on the attitude towards academic success in university students based on the theory of self-determination. The objective was to determine how these motivational factors impact performance and achievement of learning objectives. A partial least square structural equation model, PLS-SEM, was used to verify validity and reliability with a representative sample of 204 students in five high quality accredited universities in Colombia. The results reveal a positive, direct and significant relationship between the constructs social and personal motivation and attitude towards academic success. The findings underscore the importance of recognising that motivation not only influences academic achievement, but also the perception of success and the realisation of educational attainment. This study provides evidence regarding policies and strategies aimed at reinforcing motivational aspects in the university context. Future research can explore the relationship between motivation, organisational performance and the role of teachers.
    Keywords: intrinsic motivation; academic success; higher education; PLS-SEM.

  • Knowledge management and emotional labour in the Nigerian hospitality industry: moderating role of ethical leadership   Order a copy of this article
    by Desmond Neji Oben, Friday Ogbu Edeh, Mohammad Fakhrul Islam, Collins Irem Okechukwu, Gabriel Obasi Chidozie Udu, Vitalii S. Nitsenko, Matthias Elom Egede, Gloria Chinasa Nkwagu, Obiageri Onwuegbule 
    Abstract: The study investigated the moderating role of ethical leadership on the relationship between knowledge management and emotional labour in the Nigerian hospitality industry. The theories that underlined the work are the knowledge-based theory and emotional regulation theory. A cross-sectional research design was used, and primary data was obtained for the study which was purposively drawn from 250 workers across a unit of hospitality firms. The data were analysed with partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLSSEM) V4.1. The findings revealed that knowledge management correlated with emotional labour. However, it was also found that ethical leadership does not significantly moderate the relationship between the constructs. The study recommends that managers need to encourage the acquisition, sharing and application of knowledge to solving workplace problems.
    Keywords: knowledge management; emotional labour; ethical leadership; hospitality industry; Nigeria.
