“…Studies have found that technology use may also result in more income and lower costs (Khan et al, 2022). It also contributes to the environment and to accomplish social, financial, and ecological supportability, it is essential to use FinTech (Ziemba, 2019). Even though numerous studies have emphasized the significance of technology in Fintech, a research study on how IT affects Fintech usage has not yet been conducted (Khan et al, 2022).…”

This study aims to analyze how the six variables, such as perceived legal risk, perceived performance risk, perceived cyber risk, perceived financial risk, perceived economic benefit, ease of use, and monetary benefit affects the adoption of financial technology, with the moderating effect of gender and education. Additionally, it explores the impact of Fintech adoption on economic, environmental, and social sustainability of Pakistan. For this purpose, a quantitative research approach has been employed by using a well-designed questionnaire. Moreover, the sample size of 312 was considered and the responses were collected through Google forms. The data collected was then analyzed using SPSS. The study’s findings revealed that the perception of the advantages of using fintech has a positive impact on its adoption. The perception of risk has a negative impact, however, this impact is much lesser than the benefits. Risk perception negatively impacts sustainability while benefits perception impacts sustainability positively. Thus, this study can provide policymakers in emerging economies with valuable insights into the perceived risks and benefits of Fintech adoption for sustainable development. This study gives insight to the practitioners and researchers on how perceived risk and benefit can impact Fintech adoption and how its adoption, in turn, impacts sustainability. The research can contribute to informed policy decisions, support the development of robust regulatory frameworks, advance knowledge, and promote inclusive growth in emerging economies.

“…This approach makes the development of an unambiguous and subject-independent definition of digital competence a difficult task, fraught with the errors of reductionism. The complexity of this concept manifests itself primarily in the creation of definitions that depend on the time of the implementation of the research itself (i.e., the stage of development of the information society) [19,20], the needs and the level of computerisation of a given institution, or the represented field. Nevertheless, attempts to construct definitions of digital competences and their measurement are a valuable activity, allowing for intentional activities to be conducted, aimed at supporting individuals in their professional work and everyday life in the information society.…”

Digital competence is undoubtedly one of the key skills that teaching staff should possess. Currently, there are many theoretical frameworks and ways to measure skills and knowledge related to the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). This article is an attempt to show the real and declared level of digital skills among future teaching staff. The research was conducted in Poland among 128 students of pedagogical faculties (first-year undergraduate studies). The research used a triangulation of research methods and techniques: diagnostic survey and competency tests related to the use of word processors and spreadsheets, and the level of knowledge about the use of ICT. Competency tests were in accordance with the European Computer Skills Certificate (ECDL) standard. The collected data showed the following: (1) more than half of the students rate their own skills in the use of word processors and spreadsheets, and their overall theoretical knowledge as high or very high; (2) in the case of the real assessment of digital competence, only less than 20% reached the passing threshold in the areas of word processors and theoretical knowledge, with only 1.6% passing in the area of spreadsheets; (3) the declared and actual levels of digital competence were moderately related in the surveyed group; (4) attitudes towards new media, self-assessment of digital skills, and previous learning experience in handling ICT are not predictive factors for ECDL test results.

“…Recently, the concept of a sustainable information society has started to take prominence. The concept is based on the use of ICT as a key enabler of sustainability within an organization [18]. However, mobile IT services suffer from the problem of users not using the services for a prolonged time.…”

With information technology (IT) now showing advanced capabilities, many new services are being introduced to consumers of smartphones through the various available app stores. Moreover, the recent proliferation of such services related to information and communications technology has seen a momentous rise. Despite this trend, the ever-changing landscape of mobile IT services is creating a serious problem for businesses who are already experiencing fierce market conditions. Thus, in order to maintain the sustainability of an enterprise, it is necessary to make an adequate analysis of the success and failure factors of IT services in order to create a sustained competitive advantage. Considering 22 real IT service cases based on two platform models (merchant model and two-sided model) and through surveys submitted to 11 experienced entrepreneurs in IT services, we conducted a t-test analysis in order to first assess the success and failure factors of the IT service cases. Next, we performed a logistic regression analysis in order to find underlying relationships of our hypothesized model. The results showed that the participants identified 141 success and 101 failure factors in total with the t-tests, confirming that the distinction between success and failure of each IT service assessed was significant. Next, the results from the logistic regression showed which relationships were the best on the basis of the given platform model. Overall, this study was able to identify the main factors that have an influence on the success and failure of IT services based on two identified platform models. In doing so, this paper can help to inform future IT service entrepreneurs and researchers involved in developing new apps based on IT services by providing a guide to what factors need to be considered before going to market.
