“…Another research conducted by Zhang et al (2018) examined the motivational disparities between Canadian and Chinese online students by examining the impact of intrinsic motivation on the technology adoption paradigm (TAM); they discovered that, in contrast to Canadians, the effect of perceived utility on desire to use online learning contexts is minimal in the Chinese community. Uzuegbunam and Geringer (2021) examined the decision to use a mobile device by analyzing data from an email survey of 245 Malaysian and 250 Singaporean pre-service teachers. The findings indicate that in both nations, perceived utility, program mindset and perceived ease of use both have a major effect on behavioral aim.…”

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in social isolation; nevertheless, universities will proceed throughout this trying period with the assistance of technology. As such, this paper seeks to develop a conceptual framework to investigate the continued intentions of students to use mobile learning during COVID-19 under different cultural contexts expanding upon the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and the Expectation-Confirmation Model (ECM) under different cultural contexts.Design/methodology/approachThe suggested model is empirically tested with 1,206 students from different universities in three societies (i.e. Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UK) using SEM/PLS.FindingsPerformance expectancy, satisfaction, social influence, facilitating conditions and instructors' competencies positively influence students' continued intentions to use mobile learning. In addition, the findings of the current research indicate that student's isolation negatively impact the continuous usage behavior. Furthermore, the findings indicated that a “one-size-fits-all” approach is insufficient in capturing the heterogeneity of students' intentions to use mobile learning across countries.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study that has been conducted to understand the main determinants of students' continued intentions to use mobile learning under different cultural contexts.

“…In addition, studies on the impact of socio-cultural factors on digitalisation, innovation and sustainable development have largely confirmed their influence. For example, an extensive study of 47 countries over 14 years revealed that cultural factors significantly impact the adoption of disruptive innovation in the agricultural biotech sector [25]. A similar conclusion was reached in a study showing that socio-cultural factors influence the level of digitalisation in companies within the 27 countries of the European Union [26].…”

We define the digital economy as all economic activities conducted through the use of information technologies, including activities to create new markets, expand old ones, and produce digital goods and services. The digital economy has become a major driver of sustainable development and the transition towards a greener economy. However, studies show an unequal level of progress among cities, regions, and countries. Consequently, this paper explores the associations between socio-cultural factors (such as attitudes towards marriage/raising a family) and components of the digital economy (such as expenses/investment in ICT and the proportion of personal computers and the Internet in households). This study specifically examines twenty-two ethnic minority regions in Russia with data covering a five-year period. Using the Pearson correlation coefficient, the results show that socio-cultural factors including a large urban population and high divorce rates were positively associated with the digital economy, whereas a large rural population, higher birth rates, and higher natural population growth were negatively correlated with the digital economy.

“…This highlights a possible reason why there is disagreement in the literature regarding the innovation paradox concerning the opposing effects of cultural tightness and looseness on innovative behaviours. Uzuegbunam and Geringer (2021) found that culturally loose societies have higher rates of innovation (which requires idea realization) than tight ones. However, Prokopowicz et al (2021) found lower rates of idea implementation from extremely loose and extremely tight cultures, and that a balance between these was optimal.…”

“…These ideas may require norm breaking and deviance from accepted ways of doing things (Mainemelis, 2010; Mueller et al, 2011). Cultural looseness has been empirically linked to innovation at the national/societal level (Uzuegbunam & Geringer, 2021), in organizations (Ozeren et al, 2013), in innovation networks (Cremer & Loebbecke, 2020) and in work teams (Gedik & Ozbek, 2020).…”

Drawing on role identity, dynamic constructivism and the norm‐based model of cultural tightness, we examine the innovation paradox of whether and how congruence of home and host culture in tandem with creative role identity not only enhances but also constrains different facets of innovative behaviour for global workers. Results reveal that the effects of loose home employees' cultural tightness congruence on idea generation and idea realization behaviours depend on creative role identity (Study 1), that idea generation may be more salient in loose cultures (Study 2) and that when exposed to an incongruent tight culture, individuals temporarily switch their innovative identity content to fit the alternative cultural frame (Study 3). Our results paint a complex and dynamic picture of cultural exposure and role identity on innovative behaviour. Our results also suggest that cultural considerations and organizational interventions that shape the content of creative role identity may enhance innovative behaviours for global workers.
