  • A Pilot Study on Unlocking Innovation through E-Learning Adoption in Higher Education: A Strategic Change Management Perspective   Order a copy of this article
    by Keerthi Jain K, Naga Venkata Raghuram J 
    Abstract: Educational technologies have transitioned from traditional to digital formats, becoming essential to global university education. E-learning tools, in particular, have significantly enhanced educational experiences. However, while e-learning is well-established in some countries, it is still emerging in economically developing nations, facing notable adoption challenges. This study explores the factors affecting university students readiness to engage with e-learning. Data from 420 university students were collected from July 2023 to April 2024 through a survey and analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) with Smart PLS 3.0. The study examines independent variables such as complexity, relative advantage, facilitating conditions, perceived enjoyment, and self-management learning, which are crucial for the acceptance and use of educational technology applications in higher education. The novel approach of this pilot study integrates various variables, revealing that greater complexity and relative advantages of e-learning applications reduce the intention to use such technologies. Meanwhile, other factors has significantly influence adoption.

  • E-purchasing and Consumer Attitude: an Empirical Examination with Intervening Role of Risks Management   Order a copy of this article
    by Mehnaz Mehnaz, Jiahua Jin, Akib Warraich, Abdul Waheed, Muhammad Usman 
    Abstract: This study investigates the insights into risk factors that influence online purchase intention along with the mediating impact of consumer attitude toward various factors related to e-purchasing. A comprehensive survey was conducted through the active involvement of 618 proficient respondents. The findings of the study supported the notion that product risk (PR), privacy risk (PriR), and financial risk (FR) possess a statistically significant, while negatively mediating influence on individuals attitudes toward their intention toward online purchasing. It has been observed that the return policy (RP) positively influences the consumer attitude (CA) towards an intention to purchase online (Pur). The impact of non-delivery risk (NDR) on attitude is found to be inconsequential in academic research. The post-hoc analysis has demonstrated that attitudes play a significant and complete role in influencing the intention to purchase online, whereas NDR has no mediation.
    Keywords: perceived risk; risk Management; Consumer Attitude; e-purchase; empirical analysis.
