Abstract

Covid-19 has led to the closure of educational institutions around the world and turned formal learning into distance learning. This study aims to investigate the effect of e-learning infrastructure and individual’s knowledge and competence on distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak in 2020. E-learning infrastructure and individual’s cognitive competence were also used to determine the readiness of educational institutions in distance learning. The e-learning infrastructure includes Learning Management System (LMS), electronic devices, communication applications, and internet accessibility. Quantitative approach was used in this study with a sample of 324 participants from three major universities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data were collected through online surveys. The descriptive statistical approach and one-layer regression analysis were used to examine the problems raised in this study. The results show that distance learning is positively influenced by e-learning infrastructure and the cognitive competence of the students, the faculty, and administrative staff. The results also point out the university’s readiness level in adopting online learning based on their previous experience of using the learning system. Finally, the study proposes that in order to improve the e-learning process, there needs to be sufficient financial support from the government, whereas the universities are advised to conduct workshops and training, and to provide teleconferencing applications.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of digital communication transparency and public trust on crisis communication effectiveness in local governments in the MENA region, with public engagement as a mediator. Using a quantitative approach and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with data from 228 respondents, findings indicate that while transparency enhances public engagement significantly, trust alone does not directly boost engagement. Public engagement plays a vital mediating role, strengthening the effects of both transparency and trust on communication effectiveness. These results suggest that MENA governments should prioritize strategies fostering public participation alongside transparency to improve crisis communication outcomes. By actively engaging citizens, governments can enhance crisis management, strengthen public trust, and achieve more effective communication. This study contributes to the literature by underscoring the critical role of public engagement in crisis communication strategies.

Abstract

Economic growth increases a country’s real gross domestic product (GDP) over time. Investment is the expenditure on capital goods, such as machines, factories, and technology, that enhance the productive capacity of the economy. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the research trends and future directions in the field of economic growth and investment in Africa, based on a bibliometric analysis of the relevant literature. Using the Scopus database, we identified and analyzed 1,163 articles published between 2004 and 2023, This study employs a five-step methodology that consists of: (1) identifying keywords; (2) initializing search results; (3) including and excluding certain initial results items; (4) assembling initial data statistics; and (5) doing data analysis. The study findings revealed that the highest number of publications on economic growth and investment in Africa was in 2023 (166 articles), the top contributing affiliation was the University of South Africa, the leading influential country was South Africa and Social Sciences was the main source of contributions. Additionally, Odhiamb Nicholas M. topped the list of the top authors with high publications and 166 papers, while Simplice, Bekun, and Festus Victor held the top spot on the list of the most influential authors in terms of citations. Similarly, this study demonstrated that certain authors collaborate. This study identified four research clusters that could serve as a basis for future research expansion on economic growth and investment in Africa.
