Purpose: This study examines how sustainability adoption mediates the relationship between sustainability motives and performance of tourist hotels in Sri Lanka. Research Methodology: To check the proposed hypotheses of this quantitative investigation, a Structural Equation Model was utilized as an analytical technique using 207 datasets from registered tourist hotels in Sri Lanka. The questionnaire survey technique was used to collect the data. Results: The structural model analysis revealed that while managerial motivations significantly enhance sustainability performance when mediated by corporate sustainability adoption, stakeholder and institutional motivations do not exhibit the same mediating effect. Limitations: This study is confined to the Sri Lankan hotel industry, which may limit the generalizability of the findings to other countries. Focusing solely on tourist hotels may limit the applicability of these results to other industries. The use of cross-sectional data limits one’s ability to infer causal relationships over time. Contribution: The contributions of both theory and practice are profound, advocating a strategic focus on internal leadership to drive sustainability in the lodging industry. Future research should explore these relationships across different sectors to enhance our understanding of the factors that foster sustainability initiatives. Implications: The findings emphasize the significance of internal leadership and managerial motivations, rather than external motives, in driving sustainability efforts toward the sustainability performance of hotels. This justifies the need for change in the literature on sustainability, with a greater focus on the role of managerial commitment as a critical component in attaining sustainable performance. Novelty: These findings challenge the conventional wisdom that external pressures alone can drive sustainability success, and highlight the importance of internal leadership and managerial commitment.

Mobile phone addiction (MPA) among college students is a growing concern affecting physical and mental well-being. This study employs CiteSpace 6.2.R6 to analyze research trends on MPA. A total of 957 articles published between 2013 and 2023 were analyzed, with key contributors including Griffiths, Mark D, and institutions like Nottingham Trent University and Toledo University. "Computers In Human Behavior" emerged as the most cited journal. Research focal points include the prevalence of MPA, its health effects, and its association with social media usage. Future research should focus on understanding the MPA-mental health correlation, improving methodologies, and conducting diverse intervention studies. This study identifies research hotspots and emphasizes the need for further investigations to expand understanding of MPA among college students. Collaboration between institutions and authors is crucial, along with diversification of research methods and tools.

Virtual reality (VR) exhibits substantial educational potential, but its adoption rate among Chinese students in higher education institutions remains low, with a lack of empirical research on influencing mechanisms, especially in regions like Nantong. This study constructed a model based on the unified technology acceptance and use theory 2 (UTAUT2), and collected 402 sample data from students of Nantong higher education institutions. An empirical study was conducted using the structural equation model (SEM). The results showed that perceived enjoyment (intrinsic motivation) and peer influence (extrinsic motivation) were positively correlated with the willingness to use VR and the adoption of VR. The willingness to use played a partial mediating role. This study innovatively proposed the synergistic driving effect of intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation in the context of higher education in China, and provided practical guidance for the promotion of VR in higher education.
