Abstract

This study explores the integration of open innovation in education with a focus on technology and cultural aspects, aiming to foster improvements in educational management and policy within Oman learning environments. The research investigates the relationships between technological literacy (TL), cultural compatibility (CC), human face-to-face communication methods (HFtFCM), and student motivation and engagement (SMaE). A survey was conducted among 1,436 Oman students, and the data were analyzed using partial least squares and structural equation modeling to assess the moderating effects of TL and CC on these relationships. Results indicate that incorporating TL and CC as moderators significantly strengthens the mediation framework, enhancing the connection between HFtFCM and student perception of communication effectiveness (SPoCE). Specifically, the p-value decreased from 0.11 to 0.005, highlighting increased statistical significance, and the path from HFtFCM to SPoCE to SMaE improved from -0.051 to 0.071, demonstrating a stronger mediation effect. Conversely, the indirect effect from Technology-Based Communication Methods (TBCM) to SPoCE to SMaE decreased from 0.047 to 0.008. Additionally, notable paths such as TL → SPoCE and CC → SPoCE emerged, illustrating the enhanced explanatory power of these moderators. Conclusion: These findings underscore the potential of TL and CC to elevate student engagement and communication effectiveness, offering valuable insights for educational policy development and leadership programs. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2025-09-01-025 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The current research examines the possible mediating and moderating effects of Teaching Efficacy (TE) and National Culture (NC) on the nexus of Readiness of Students (RS), Interactive Online Collaboration (IOC), Faculty Training (FT), and Policy Support (PS) and the ensuing results of Student Performance (SP), Job Employment (JE), Student Competency (SC), and University Reputation (UR). We have evaluated both the direct and indirect association between the stipulated constructs by utilizing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS -SEM) on a sample of 291 respondents who were sampled using structured questionnaires. The empirical evidence suggests that TE is a medium of connecting between RS, PS, and SP and therefore enhances its impact on JE, SC, and UR. Notably, the influence of SP on JE is statistically significant in case of concurrent TE activity (O for indirect path = 0.215, p<0.001). Similarly, mediation helped students score better on SC (O = 0.327, t = 6.261, p < 0.001) and UR (O = -0.065, t = 1.911, p = 0.028). A substantial direct correlation was found between RS and TE (r = 0.282, t = 4.175, p < 0.001). The outcome of the moderate analysis indicated that Organizational Culture exerted a strong influence, leading to a positive impact on the correlation between TE and SP (O = 0.087, t = 1.994, p = 0.023). In addition, Information Culture (IC) acted as a protective factor, moderating the relationship between RS and TE (O = -0.093, t = 1.945, p = 0.026). Taking TE as the main factor and cultural elements as moderators significantly improved the model's performance, demonstrating that student results and university reputation can be enhanced when there is strong teaching competence and a positive organizational environment within these institutions.
