Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to consolidate existing research on digital technology in business education, focusing on adoption determinants, theoretical frameworks and implementation challenges.
Design/methodology/approach
A hybrid literature review was conducted. The first phase involved a keyword co-occurrence analysis of 254 Association of Business Schools-ranked journal articles from the Web of Science database to identify key research themes. To deepen the analysis, the second phase included a content analysis of the 24 most globally cited articles, each with a minimum of 65 total global citations.
Findings
The review reveals that studies primarily focus on factors influencing digital technology adoption, including institutional support, perceived usefulness and ease of use. Researchers frequently cite theoretical models such as the technology acceptance model and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. Identified challenges include concerns over technology effectiveness, resistance to change and the influence of cultural and generational differences on technology use.
Practical implications
The findings guide educators and policymakers in formulating strategies for effective technology adoption, emphasizing alignment with educational goals and addressing cultural barriers.
Social implications
Understanding generational and cultural impacts enables the creation of inclusive digital education strategies that cater to diverse student needs.
Originality/value
This study synthesizes fragmented literature, offering new insights into the integration of digital technologies in business education.

Abstract
Purpose
The main purpose of this study is to determine the factors affecting the adoption of telemedicine services as mobile health apps in the Jordanian context by extending the technology acceptance model (TAM).
Design/methodology/approach
A quantitative research approach with an online survey was used to collect data from 306 Jordanian respondents to achieve the main purpose. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was used to analyze collected data.
Findings
The results mainly confirmed that the intention to use mobile health apps (otherwise known as AMAN apps in Jordan) is significantly influenced by social influence, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, trust in government and social media awareness. Next, contrary to what is expected, culture does not moderate the association between perceived ease of use and behavioral intention to use the AMAN app, and hence the related hypothesis was not supported. To conclude, the results show that the actual use of the AMAN app is significantly influenced by behavioral intention, and hence, the final hypothesis was supported.
Originality/value
The current research contributed to the literature on information technology (IT)/information systems (IS) acceptance and use by switching the investigation efforts from the acceptance of IT/IS to the adoption of protection technology in the crisis era.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the connection between green human resource management (GHRM) and corporate social responsibility (CSR). In addition, this study also investigates how the impact of GHRM varies depending on the extent of transformational leadership.
Design/methodology/approach
Adopting a quantitative approach, the sample consists of 376 employees who hold leadership positions in the academic body and those who work in human resources units at universities who won the Web Metric Award.
Findings
Results have shown that all GHRM practices were found to have a significant and positive effect on CSR. In addition, the findings revealed that transformational leadership positively moderates the relationship between GHRM and CSR.
Originality/value
The findings of this study contribute to the existing body of knowledge by providing empirical evidence of the positive relationship between GHRM practices, transformational leadership and CSR performance. In addition, the study highlights the moderating influence of transformational leadership on the relationship between GHRM and CSR, suggesting that transformational leadership can increase the efficacy of GHRM practices in promoting CSR outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is one of the most diffused AI technologies, capable of generating manifold forms of content, including music, text, images and synthetic data. The purpose of this study is to analyze the determinants that affect GenAI acceptance and its outcomes on both the explorative and exploitative forms of innovation.
Design/methodology/approach
The study employs a conceptual framework based on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) paradigm. Through Smart-PLS analysis, it examines empirical data retrieved from an online survey where 302 manufacturing companies took part.
Findings
It is found that GenAI has the potential to facilitate both exploratory and exploitative innovation, particularly via the moderating effect of environmental dynamism. Hence the adoption of GenAI has potential to improve organizational performance.
Originality/value
The study is the first empirical project to investigate factors that influence manufacturing firms' adoption of GenAI. As the first project to have integrated the TOE paradigm when examining the impact of environmental dynamism on exploratory and exploitative innovation, the study emphasizes the double innovation potential of GenAI in organizational performance improvement.
