Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate how educators perceive and adapt their roles in the face of changes in technology-driven learning environments. The Gioia methodology explores how educators enable adaptive learning, broaden their pedagogical practice and promote cultural inclusivity to educate diverse students.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper involves a qualitative interpretive phenomenological research design using the Gioia methodology. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 14 educators across various disciplines. Gioia methodology is a structured exploration of first- and second-order themes and aggregate dimensions that capture the nuanced ways in which educators navigate adaptive learning contexts.
Findings
This study highlights how digital tools help enable personalized self-directed learning, how adaptive learning adapts educators to become more than just traditional teachers and how the culturally responsive teaching that is required in a globalized learning environment promotes inclusivity and resilience in a diverse group of learners.
Originality/value
This study contributes to the growing body of literature on adaptive learning and identifies educators’ critical, expanded roles in a technology-centred world. This research provides a structured, in-depth analysis of educator perspectives on adaptive learning using the Gioia methodology, offering unique insights into the policy and practice implications.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to review recent conceptualizations and theories of organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) and its role in the energy transition from Malaysia’s perspective. It examines how factors of OCB, such as individual values, attitudes, motivations, leadership style, organizational culture and policies, affect the energy transition process. The research findings have implications for future studies on energy transition, highlighting the role of OCB in shaping the country’s strategies, addressing challenges and contributing to the transition process.
Design/methodology/approach
This study conducts a narrative review of past literature and documents OCB in the context of energy transition; factors influencing OCB (individual, organizational and external factors); OCB in the context of energy transition; and insights into energy transition in Malaysian organizations.
Findings
This study finds support in the literature for the impact of OCB on energy transition efforts from the Malaysian perspective. OCB, which extends beyond formal role expectations, can significantly support the effective implementation of energy policies and contribute to organizational objectives. By encouraging OCB within organizations, Malaysia can facilitate the adoption of renewable energy and energy efficiency practices, thereby playing a crucial role in reducing dependence on fossil fuels and advancing the energy transition, instilling hope for a more sustainable future.
Originality/value
This study encourages future research to explore the relationship between discussed variables and their impact on OCB, which is crucial for organizational policies aimed at advancing the energy transition in Malaysia. These findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on OCB within the context of energy transition and provide a foundation for further related research.
