Abstract

Hospitality businesses in emerging economies have adopted digital tools to improve service delivery, customer satisfaction, and stakeholder trust, prompting scholars to conduct empirical research to strengthen their resilience, particularly in Nigeria. This research investigated the effect of digital business transformation (DBT) on business resilience in an emerging business economy with perceived organizational support (POS) as a moderating role using a cross-sectional survey. The study focused on workers from selected hospitality businesses in Abakaliki, southeastern Nigeria, using simple random sampling to choose the businesses. Participants' demographics were analyzed with frequency distribution, and research hypotheses were tested using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The study revealed that POS provides resources that moderate the effect of DBT on business resilience. Consequently, the study recommends that the management of hospitality firms should focus on DBT to help the firms to be resilient. This can be achieved through using digital tools, knowledge, skills, and processes to improve the turbulence-handling capability of the firm.

Abstract

Smartphone usage among students in tertiary institutions, particularly management sciences students, has generated concerns due to its potential negative effects on their academic performance and overall well-being. While smartphones are known to improve students' academic outcomes, their excessive use can lead to distractions and a decline in academic achievement, especially in developing economies. This study investigates the impact of smartphone usage on the academic performance of students in selected universities in southeast Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 300-level management science students at three public universities, with data collected through 221 valid questionnaires. The study found that students' academic performance is positively influenced by the perceived ease of use, usefulness, and enjoyment of smartphones. However, excessive use, particularly for non-academic purposes, negatively affects performance by causing distractions, addiction, and superficial learning. This study concludes that while smartphones can be a valuable academic tool, excessive usage for non-academic activities can hinder students’ academic performance. Effective management of smartphone use is essential for academic success.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has influenced research rituals, beginning from its rigor, purposefulness, dependability, reliability, validity, and reporting. Before the advent of AI, postgraduate students were saddled with parsimonious philosophical strands and similarity thresholds. But, with the current trend of AI writing tools such as ChatGPT, most students in developing educational economies have started shifting their research posts toward writing technologies. Thus, using a cross-sectional survey design, this research aims to investigate the factors that motivate management science postgraduate students to use ChatGPT for their studies. Researchers collected data from doctoral students in management science using a questionnaire. Thus, two hundred and one (201) postgraduate students drawn from three state universities in southeastern Nigeria served as the respondents in this research. The formulated research propositions were analyzed with linear regression. The study found that postgraduate students were motivated by perceived usefulness, ease of use, and enjoyment. The result of the study revealed that perceived ease of use (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU), and perceived enjoyment (PE) have a positive significant effect on ChatGPT usage.
