“…In addition, the statistical analysis revealed that social safeness moderates or strengthens the relationship between HFU and life satisfaction. This finding is consistent with findings from other international studies (Shah, Amjed, & Jaboob, 2020; Seyoum, Chinta, & Mujtaba, 2021) that have determined the moderating effect of the social safeness variable in various contexts. There is a lack of research on the moderating effect of social safeness on the relationship between HFU and life satisfaction.…”

PurposeThis study aims to examine the impact of habitual Facebook use (HFU) on life satisfaction and psychological well-being. In addition, the study examined the impact of life satisfaction on psychological well-being. Moreover, the study investigates the impact of social safeness in moderating the relationship between HFU and life satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a quantitative survey design, using a sample of 261 Generation Y students based in Mthatha, in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Scales for data collection were operationalized from prior studies. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.FindingsThe study’s results disclosed that HFU positively and significantly impacts life satisfaction and psychological well-being. In addition, life satisfaction positively and significantly impacted psychological well-being. Moreover, the results showed that social safeness had a positive and significant moderating effect on the nexus between HFU and life satisfaction.Originality/valueThis study contributes to understanding HFU as a precursor to life satisfaction and psychological well-being among Generation Y students. Also, evaluating the moderating effect of social safeness contributes to a more thorough understanding of the link between HFU and life satisfaction. Furthermore, this research aims to add to the body of knowledge in Africa’s communication psychology and social media literature, a field that has received little academic attention in developing countries.

“…Entrepreneurship education's goals must be considered while designing an evaluation study. It is vital to note that entrepreneurship education is distinct from education about entrepreneurship (Seyoum et al 2021;Tang et al 2022). Entrepreneurship education aims to increase students' understanding of the many facets of starting and operating a firm.…”

This study explores the relationship between Entrepreneurship Education (EE) and Entrepreneurial Intentions (EI) using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). From January through May of 2022, students from 10 Chinese institutions were surveyed using an online questionnaire. According to the research, students' EI scores rose significantly after participating in EE. In addition, students in China had a more significant impact on EI regarding factors like perceived feasibility and desirability. This study extends the body of knowledge about the connection between prior exposure and early intervention (EI) by demonstrating the beneficial effects of PE on EI. In addition, the results suggest that girls have lower EI than males, which is good news for gender equality. Lastly, the behavioral entrepreneur attitude has a favorable correlation with EI. Policymakers and university administrators might use the findings to understand better how and when extracurricular activities (EE) improve students' emotional intelligence (EI). A pioneering empirical study in a developing South-Asian setting shows the relevance of EE on EI among students at private universities. According to the study, EE generates EI, and entrepreneurial enthusiasm is crucial.

With resources of MYR 564 million being invested on research and development in 2020 by the Malaysia government, it is crucial for Malaysian universities to develop an entrepreneurial ecosystem among academia. This is more significant among technical driven universities. The aim of this study is to examine the various factors that lead technology researchers to recognise and create opportunities. The case study is derived from one of Malaysia’s technology driven universities. This research adopts a qualitative method in which the data were collected from nine lecturers and researchers who were actively involved in creating innovative products and services. Semi-structured interviews and observational methods were employed with six of the respondents. In this study, an exploratory research is selected to ask open questions, in order to find out the challenges and processes of academia in shaping entrepreneurial characteristics. Qualified respondents that is directly involved in the subject of study is selected. These participants are selected academics and researchers from technology management and engineering academic backgrounds. The findings show that networking was used to get resources, and opportunities were from the policy or government interventions and events such as seminars and conferences. Most of the respondents indicate that events are great opportunities to connect with the industry and external parties. Through extensive networking, technology researchers can build various programs for new researchers so that they realize the importance of opportunities, especially in the field of technology, as it is now booming. The implication of this study reflects the university’s effort that can be viewed from the case, where self-efficacy and risk taking can be further promoted among academics who are moving from research to business venture. For the study to be conducted in the future, the researcher suggests the need to obtain a better understanding of conditions of uncertainty which shape opportunity creation and the scope of the research must be extended to other aspects. Future research should also include other institutions to see clearly the role of opportunity creation and the challenges faced by them.
