“…The emerging attention given to student mobilities within the Asian region or south–south mobilities (for example, Chen, 2021; Collins and Ho, 2018; Gunter and Raghuram, 2017; Lipura and Collins, 2020; Nguyen et al, 2020; Ortiga, 2018; Pfaff-Czarnecka, 2020; Phan, 2009, 2017, 2018; Wong and Wen, 2013; Xu and Montgomery, 2018; Yang, 2018, 2020) points to a serious need to diversify and transform thinking about HE and international education in the Asia region, a scholarly call to which this SI rigorously responds. Actually within Asia, studies of HE in countries in East Asia – particularly China, Japan and South Korea – have dominated the existing literature.…”

Setting the sceneIn recent decades there has been a dramatic growth in the field of international higher education with an explosion of scholarly work on international educational mobilities and international students' experiences. However, much of this work is focused on European and English-speaking western contexts. In actuality, in an article published in 2009 on Asian international students studying in Thailand, one of us already noted little about international students in areas beyond the Western world has been discussed in the published research literature. The assumption that 'the West is the world' . . . appears to have marginalised even the need and importance of doing research into the so-called Other -the Other that the Self has already known and constructed (

“…IL) and contextual factors (PMT factors) on Taiwanese and Vietnamese WFHI during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the present study, Taiwan and Vietnam were chosen as the research context because under the influence of Taiwan's new southbound policy, mutual understandings between Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries – including Vietnam – are necessary (Huang, 2018; Nguyen et al ., 2020). In addition, Taiwan is one of the countries that has invested most heavily in Vietnam, and there is a deepening relationship of cooperation between businesses in these two countries (Jing, 2017; Yang and Chiang, 2019; Yang and Hsiao, 2016).…”

PurposeThe present study integrates inclusive leadership and protection motivation theory to propose a new model predicting employees' intention to work from home during an emergency situation such as the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire was developed to collect data from 939 Taiwanese and Vietnamese office employees using a non-probability convenience sampling method. A total of 887 valid questionnaires were used for further analysis. The data were analysed following a two-stage structural equation modelling using SPSS 22 and AMOS 20 software. The validity and reliability of the instrument were tested and ensured.FindingsThe results revealed that inclusive leadership and factors related to protection motivation theory– including perceived severity and perceived vulnerability – have positive direct and indirect effects on employees' work-from-home intentions through the mediating role of employees' work-from-home-related attitudes. Protection motivation theory factors were found to have a stronger effect on employees' work-from-home intention than inclusive leadership. Differences in the relationship between perceived vulnerability, perceived severity and employees' intentions towards working from home were also discovered among participants from the two studied countries.Practical implicationsThe integration of inclusive leadership and protection motivation theory brings into light what will drive employees' intention to work from home during an emergency situation. The present study has several theoretical and practical implications for scholars, governments, managers and policymakers that can help them improve management policies for working from home in the future.Originality/valueBased on integrating inclusive leadership and protection motivation theory to explore employees' intention to work from home during an emergency situation, the present study demonstrated that inclusive leadership and protection motivation theory should be considered for studies on working from home in a pandemic setting.

“…Up until the pandemic, Taiwan was actively involved in promoting international academic exchanges [ 6 ]. As a result of the new Southbound Policies [ 7 ] and student recruitment in Mainland China [ 8 ], in 2019, there were around 130,000 study abroad students in Taiwan [ 9 ]. According to the Ministry of Education [ 10 ], the majority of the study abroad students in Taiwan are from within the regions of Mainland China, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, Vietnam, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, and India, which are the top ten contributors, making up almost 80% of the international student enrolment.…”

Studying abroad can be stressful due to culture shock and various other difficulties. However, with the current prevalence of information communication technology, we can surmise that study abroad difficulties should be minimal. Since it has been shown that an individual’s personality is highly associated with their internet use behaviors, it would be interesting to determine the effects of personality traits on the relationship between internet use motives and perceived study abroad difficulties. Data were collected from 1870 volunteer study abroad students in Taiwan. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that when controlling for the effects of age, gender, duration of stay, student status (short-term exchange or degree-seeking), and internet use motives (online benefits, habits, and facilitation), the personality trait neuroticism consistently showed significant relationships with the various study abroad difficulties. Moreover, moderation analyses revealed that all the personality traits except conscientiousness showed significant interactions with internet use, while simple slope comparisons showed significant differences between the high personality traits and their lower counterparts. In sum, an examination of the moderating role of personality traits in the relationship between internet use and study abroad difficulties may be useful for preemptively identifying at-risk students.
