Time lagged investigation of entrepreneurship school innovation climate and students motivational outcomes: Moderating role of students' attitude toward technology.

Based on the reinforcement theory of motivation, the purpose of this research was to measure the effect of school innovation climate on students' motivational outcomes, including behavioral engagement, academic self-efficacy, interest, and utility value. Furthermore, the conditional influence of students' attitude toward technology on the link between school innovation climate and students' motivating outcomes has been investigated and reported. Data were gathered from the 305 entrepreneurship program students of five different universities located in Wuhan, China. In the SamrtPLS 3.3.3 program, the analysis was carried out using SEM. Results revealed that the school innovation climate has a favorable impact on improving the motivating outcomes of students. Additionally, results also provided support for moderation hypotheses that "students' attitude toward technology" moderated the relationship between "school innovation climate" and academic self-efficacy. On the contrary, "students' attitudes about technology," did not appear to be a significant moderator in terms of enhancing the influence of the "school innovation atmosphere" on the students' behavioral engagement, interest, and utility value. This study provides key policy and theoretical and practical implications as well as future research avenues for entrepreneurial school managers and education scholars.

Impulsive and Compulsive Buying Tendencies and Consumer Resistance to Digital Innovations: The Moderating Role of Perceived Threat of COVID-19.

Based on the theory of reasoned action and innovation resistance theory, this study aims to explore the tendencies of consumer resistance to digital innovation and the moderating role of a perceived threat of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Data were collected using a cross-sectional online survey of 1,000 consumers of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) in Pakistan. The results revealed several significant relationships between tendencies (impulsive and compulsive) of consumer resistance to digital innovation and the perceived threat of COVID-19. This study brings several key insights for consumers of FMCG products from Pakistan, and many theoretical and practical implications and future research directions are suggested.
