Abstract

Purpose

This study investigates the intricate dynamics of the hidden curriculum and its influence on student achievement in teacher education programs. Specifically, the study examines the mediating role of professional and constitutional values and the moderating role of sex in this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach

A total of 282 bachelor of education fourth semester students (151 female and 131 male) participated in the study. General linear modeling in Jamovi 2.4.4 was utilized to analyze the data. The general linear model (GLM) mediation model was used to measure the mediation effects of the hidden curriculum via professional value and constitutional value on student achievement. Sex was accepted as a dichotomous moderator in the model.

Findings

Hidden curriculum had positive significant direct and total effect on student achievement. The mediation of constitutional values between hidden curriculum and student achievement was found to be significant and negative. Professional value was not found to be a significant mediator. The interaction between sex and constitutional value was significant and positive. Apart from this sex moderated professional and constitutional values differentially. Constitutional and professional values had significant direct component effects on student achievement. The findings contribute to the discourse of hidden curriculum by providing insights into the interplay of sex, professional values, constitutional values and student achievement.

Practical implications

The study has implications for educational policies and curriculum design, urging stakeholders to pay attention to the implicit messages communicated by the curriculum. Professional and constitutional values influence the hidden curriculum and achievement. Therefore, teachers should be equipped with an understanding of these values to manage the hidden curriculum in their classrooms. The study also highlights the gendered educational experiences and the necessity of implementing gender-sensitive policies and practices in schools and classrooms.

Originality/value

This study provides unique insights into the complex relationship between the hidden curriculum and student achievement in the context of a teacher education program in India. The findings highlight the importance of addressing the hidden curriculum in educational settings and emphasize the need for gender-sensitive policies and practices.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of the study was to develop and validate a scale for measuring epistemic trust in open educational resources (OERs).

Design/methodology/approach

A mixed methods approach was employed, using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The scale development involved several stages, including various iterations of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).

Findings

The study resulted in a valid and reliable nine-factor scale for measuring epistemic trust in OERs. These factors are reliability and credibility of information, source competence and expertise, goodwill and intentions of the source, transparency and openness, consistency and stability, accessibility and usability, peer and social validation, engagement and interaction and ethical and moral integrity. The CFA confirmed the nine-factor structure and showed good model fit. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for the dimensions ranged from 0.668 to 0.823, indicating acceptable to excellent internal consistency. Extracted (AVE) value for each factor indicates the strong convergent validity of the scale.

Research limitations/implications

The study’s focus is on measuring epistemic trust of university students in OERs.

Practical implications

By providing a reliable and valid instrument to measure epistemic trust in OERs, the study provides a practical approach for OER creation, curation and use.

Social implications

The study proposes a framework for combating misinformation by providing a scale to assess the epistemic trust in OERs.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to develop a comprehensive scale specifically designed to measure epistemic trust in OERs.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of sustainable tourism research published in Scopus-indexed journals covering the period from 1997 to 2021. Articles published during these 25 years were subjected to science mapping and performance analysis to propose potential areas for future research.

Design/methodology/approach

A bibliometric analysis using performance analysis and science mapping was conducted on 1,754 research papers retrieved from the Scopus database using the keyword “sustainable tourism.” Biblioshiny and VOSviewer are commonly used bibliometric tools. Science mapping techniques use coauthorship, keyword co-occurrence and co-citation analyses.

Findings

This study revealed the sustainable tourism publications’ spatial and temporal patterns, indicating a yearly growth rate of 19.9% during a 25-year period. The study identified Stefan Gossling as the most influential author, the “Journal of Sustainable Tourism” as the leading journal and Australia as the most productive country in sustainable tourism literature. The study used co-citation analysis to identify five thematic clusters, namely, reconceptualization and criticism, the role of residents, eco-labeling and the role of stakeholders, community-based tourism and the shift toward establishing sustainability indicators and effective governance and policymaking. The coauthorship analysis identifies the most influential author in collaborative efforts, and the most common pattern of collaboration is between researchers from different institutions in the same country, such as China and the Philippines, followed by collaborations between authors from other countries. The keyword co-occurrence analysis uncovered keywords that aligned with theme clusters generated from the co-citation analysis.

Originality/value

This study comprehensively uncovers five thematic clusters that have never been extracted so far in the literature. Also, it attempts to fill the gaps related to sustainable tourism by suggesting directions for future research.

Abstract

Purpose

Based on Indian conceptualisation of workplace spirituality, this study aims to examine the linkage between four dimensions of workplace spirituality (swadharma, authenticity, lokasangraha and sense of community) and work-to-family (WTF) enrichment. It also explored the mediating effect of psychological and social capital and the moderating effect of gratitude.

Design/methodology/approach

A sample of 387 women employees of Indian hospitality industry was collected in three waves. The collected data were analysed in three stages. Firstly, reliability, validity and multicollinearity were assessed using appropriate statistical measures like Cronbach’s alpha, composite reliability and average variance explained. Secondly, the relationship between four dimensions of workplace spirituality and WTF enrichment were examined using correlation and hierarchical regression. Several demographic variables like marital status, age, experience and income level were controlled. Thirdly, the moderating effect of gratitude and mediating effects of psychological and social capital were analysed using PROCESS macro.

Findings

The results showed adequate reliability and validity estimates. Also, four dimensions of Indian workplace spirituality were significantly related to WTF enrichment with these dimensions of workplace spirituality collectively explaining 46.8% variations in WTF enrichment. The results also concluded significant meditating effect of psychological and social capital. It also asserted significant moderating effect of gratitude.

Originality/value

The study is based on longitudinal data collected to test seven hypotheses of the study.

Abstract

Purpose

The present study explores the effect of environmental, social and governance (ESG) controversies on firm value. Further, the study investigates when industry munificence moderates this association.

Design/methodology/approach

The research employs 5,670 firm-year observations from 2012 to 2018 for the United States (US)-based firms from the Refinitiv database. The direct and moderating effects were tested using a fixed effect panel regression model.

Findings

The primary analysis unexpectedly demonstrates that ESG controversies do not affect firm value. On the contrary, ESG controversies decrease firm value when interacting with industry munificence; this interaction effect is both positive and highly significant. We observed that reduced (increased) ESG controversies translate to higher (lower) firm value in industries with high munificence and lower (higher) firm value with low munificence. These results remain consistent with alternative proxies for size and CSR. Conducting sample split analysis over time, we discovered significant results in 2015–2018, indicating stakeholders' awareness has increased over time.

Research limitations/implications

The findings offer policymakers distinctive perspectives on the moderating role of munificence that impacts companies’ strategic imposition or limitation of ESG controversies to boost their value. Managers can gain valuable insights from the results regarding the importance of munificence in the relationship between ESG controversies and firm value.

Originality/value

This study is the first to examine the moderating effect of industry munificence in the relationship between ESG controversies and firm value for US firms.

Abstract

Purpose

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, remote working (RW) has emerged as a viable alternative to working employees in general and knowledge workers in particular. However, previous researchers have worked on the concept, development and facilitation of RW since the 1970s. Therefore, this study aims to review the existing literature on RW to ascertain the evolution of the concept in the business and management domain and provide for requisite arguments to extend the settings for future research agendas.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors based this study on a bibliometric analysis of articles (n = 349) retrieved from the Web of Science database published between January 1990 and October 2021. The authors have used a bibliometric toolbox comprising performance analysis, science mapping and network analysis in various software namely, VOSviewer, Gephi and Biblioshiny package in R.

Findings

The study’s results accentuated important themes like work–life balance, strengthening digital infrastructure, performance and productivity, hybrid work models and well-being and clustered them under four heads with proposed future research questions.

Research limitations/implications

The study is based on a single database; the authors have used an extensive but not exhaustive list of keywords to retrieve the articles. The analysis employs certain threshold limits while using the science mapping technique.

Practical implications

This study would enable managers and academics to comprehensively understand remote work and offer logical implications to appreciate its nuances.

Originality/value

This study is unique as it recognizes the intellectual structure in the existing literature on RW and traces the advancements and exponential growth post-COVID-19. The authors recapitulated the literature as network analysis of the RW facilitation model comprising the antecedents, outcomes, mediators and moderators.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper specifically aims to examine how (via which activities, methods and capabilities) organizations’ management deploy Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems to address underperformance. Five mitigation strategies/recommendations are introduced to manage the challenges and facilitate greater efficacies in changing organizations.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper conceptually synthesizes 47 articles, thematically reports and critically analyzes the AI–HRM–managerial decision-making relationship in changing organizations and discusses the impacts.

Findings

The results highlight three significant challenges and opportunities for changing organizations: (1) job performance challenges, (2) organizational performance challenges and HR and (3) collaborative intelligence opportunities.

Originality/value

The paper’s originality lies in addressing the current lack of a theoretical framework guiding HRM and AI experts on the managerial and strategic capabilities needed to address underperformance and their impacts in facilitating collective efficacies in human–AI collaboration in changing organizations. By further capturing an innovative HR Framework’s (1) human, (2) AI, (3) employees’ well-being, (4) jobs and (5) organizational performance, and its five key managerial recommendations/strategies, this paper develops two concepts: “technological servitization” and “re-ontological in-securitization” to advance theory in Managerial Psychology regarding the unintended/paradoxical consequences of managements’ AI-driven organizational performance interventions, including meaninglessness in organizations.

Abstract

Purpose

The discussion about using Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) by teachers is making notable progress on a daily basis. This research examines the teachers' adoption intention to adopt ChatGPT by focusing on perceived trust and perceived risk. The study seeks to elucidate the impact of these two factors on teachers' adoption intentions towards ChatGPT.

Design/methodology/approach

This study was exclusively conducted at private higher educational institutions in Gujarat, India. Data collection was done through a cross-sectional survey design. The proposed conceptual model was examined with the help of structural equation modelling (SEM).

Findings

The outcome of the study confirms the significant contribution of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived trust, perceived intelligence, perceived anthropomorphism and social influence to teachers' intention to adopt ChatGPT. The findings of the study show that perceived risk exerts a negative moderating effect between perceived usefulness and adoption intention as well as between perceived trust and adoption intention.

Research limitations/implications

This study fills the knowledge gap about teachers’ adoption of ChatGPT at private higher education institutions, thus contributing to the existing literature. Specifically, the distinctive role of key variables like perceived risk and perceived trust helps increase the existing body of knowledge.

Practical implications

Several practical implications are presented on the basis of the conclusions from the outcome of the study that would help increase teachers’ adoption intention of ChatGPT in higher education institutions. These implications include recommendations to promote the integration of ChatGPT in educational set-ups to help teachers leverage its potential benefits into their teaching practices.

Originality/value

This research study goes deeper into the subject than previous research, which mainly focused on the possible advantages and downsides of ChatGPT applications in the field of education. It makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of ChatGPT adoption among teachers for educational purposes by investigating through the lens of perceived risk and perceived trust. The study offers fresh understandings that were previously ignored and brings new perspectives to the body of literature.
