“…Results show that all the constructs met the threshold, i.e. all the factor loadings were above 0.7 (Hair et al, 2014;Khong et al, 2013), indicating a high degree of correlation. Indicator reliability attempts to show how robust an item is in the measurement model (Wong, 2013), and it is obtained by squaring the factor loadings.…”

“…It is defined as the mean value of squared loading of the indicators associated with a construct. Convergent validity of the instrument is established as average variance extracted (AVE) of all constructs and is found to be above the threshold criterion of 0.5 (Bagozzi and Yi, 1988;Chin, 2010;Khong et al, 2013). The AVE value of 0.5 or more indicates that, on an average, the construct is able to explain more than 50 per cent of the variance of its indicators (Hair et al, 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of the study is to analyse the perception of students toward a computer-based exam on a custom-made digital device and their willingness to adopt the same for high-stake summative assessment. Design/methodology/approach This study followed an analytical methodology using survey design. A modified version of students’ perception of e-assessment questionnaire (SPEAQ) was used to elicit information from the subjects, who were drawn from a first-year post-graduate course in management and commerce, soliciting voluntary participation in the survey. SmartPLS 2.0 was the major analytical tool used to understand the theoretical robustness of observed and latent variables through structural equation modelling. The final model was retained based on the structural significance of the path coefficients. Findings The results of the study offer ample evidence to establish the proposed theoretical relationship. It was found that the subjects of the study maintained a positive attitude toward e-assessment. Hence, the introduction of e-exams for high-stake assessment is suitable to current generation students. Research limitations/implications Findings of the study may be irrelevant to students who are not subject to e-learning processes, as an e-assessment can only be effective when students have ample exposure to working on computers. Practical/implications A major practical implication of the study is that e-exams will positively influence the outcome of education and effectiveness of the teaching–learning process. Technology, as an eclectic paradigm, can amplify the educational outcome by boosting the competency of students to meet challenges of any emerging situations. Originality/value The idea of an e-exam, using a custom-made device, is unprecedented. This paper offers a convincing empirical evidence to academic administrators to integrate e-assessment with e-learning programs.

“…Consumers are no longer passive; they are actively in control over information creating new content regarding the brand. Similarly, social platforms must be receptive to consumers' behaviors in order to build trust as consumers' trust may be reduced if their comments are deleted (Khong et al, 2013). Hexagram 4 represents a spring which encounters a mountain in its path.…”

A Grace-Based Leadership Approach to Managing Gen A in the Digital Age

This paper discusses a grace-based approach in managing the Gen A workforce in the digital age. It is a philosophical approach that covers grace, compassion, ethics, empowerment, and trust. On the basis of the conducted research the author proposes three theoretical lenses, organizational management, religious, and philosophical hybridism to conceptualize the grace-based leadership model that addresses the deterioration in ethical business behavior which gives rise to fraud, corruption, and loss of integrity. Specifically, this paper highlights the humanism aspect of organizations from the perspective of established philosophies and religions such as I Ching, Confucianism, Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism. The methodological basis for this paper is found within the theological, philosophical, psychological, and managerial fields. This study uses both interpretative phenomenological and hermeneutics approaches to interpret and understand the divine and classical texts of I Ching, Confucian Analects, Sutras, Quran, and Bhagavad Gita. The main hypothesis of the research is the idea that qualitative inquiries in management and leadership contexts can be enriched through linkages to the study of interpretative phenomenology and hermeneutics. The practical significance of this paper lies in the potential for developing a theoretical framework in humanistic leadership. According to the findings, this paper concludes that the deciding factor for an organization’s success in the digital era will be its ability to evolve its corporate culture to not only take advantage of emerging technologies but also to embrace the principle of humanism in the workplace. Keywords: Gen A, grace-based leadership, I Ching, Islam, Confucian, Buddhism, Hinduism, phenomenology, hermeneutics, grace-based approach.

“…The terminologies and structures of such communication networks differ among sites (Boyd and Ellison 2007;Litt 2013). Social networks refer to composites of large numbers of individuals in groups, as well as the interactions and relationships that exist among the groups and individuals (Iacobucci and Hopkins 1992;Khong, Onyemeh, and Alain Chong 2013). Marketers rely on social networks to spread marketing messages in both business-to-business (B2B; Mouzas 2006) and business-to-consumer (B2C; Brown and Reingen 1987) markets.…”

Social network sites (SNS), as web-based services, allow users to make open or semiopen profiles within the systems they are part of, to see lists of other people in the group, and to see the relationships of people within different groups. As the development of Internet applications has matured, developing and evaluating business models on social network sites has become a critical issue because these sites can be an innovative source for online marketing. Most studies in Taiwan on the behavior or marketing on SNS focus on either advertising or marketing, without picturing the overall scenario. Thus, this study investigates SNS as a research subject, and explores users' online and purchase behaviors in the cybercommunity. For this, the study uses the Apriori algorithm as an association rules approach, and cluster analysis for data mining, to categorize four kinds of online user behavior and generate purchase behavior patterns and rules. The results suggest that online users' SNS and purchase behavior knowledge are critical for the development of online business models.
