“…The essence of online learning is a process of social interaction, constructiveness, self-regulation, and reflection, which can help learners maintain physical and mental health, establish crisis awareness, strengthen self-planning and self-management, improve learning concentration, and realize deep-seated learning ( Kumar, 2019 ; Sun & Su, 2020 ). Furthermore, college students should seek to establish social relationships online where they can share valuable information and obtain more knowledge from others ( Ghahtarani, Sheikhmohammady, & Rostami, 2020 ; Razak, Pangil, Zin, Yunus, & Asnawi, 2016 ).…”

This study focuses on whether network media information about the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the online knowledge acquisition of college students. This research is of great significance, as it can have a profound impact on the way we think about knowledge acquisition in the future. Yet, a recent literature review finds that the academic community has not paid attention to this important topic. In the present work, which is based on a survey of 5000 Chinese college students during the COVID-19 pandemic period, we find that COVID-19 information from mainstream Chinese media and overseas media as well as social media has had a significant promoting effect on the online knowledge acquisition of college students. At the same time, the psychological response to the pandemic situation is shown to have had a significant mediating effect on the relationship between the information impact from mainstream Chinese and overseas media and the online knowledge acquisition of college students. Our findings have shown that the more positive college students are in responding to the pandemic, the stronger their willingness is to acquire knowledge through online means, and the better effect this will have on them acquiring knowledge. The results of this paper have important implications for the optimization and improvement of college students’ education and knowledge acquisition methods in the context of the long-term COVID-19 pandemic.

“…The primary theoretical implication of this study is integrating the perspectives of relationship quality and social identity theory in the context of nursing internship programs that are conducted by implementing the OPBL approach and facilitating collaborative learning practice via the social media support. In the literature of online communities in the area of electronic commerce, relationship quality is recognized as a crucial mediator of the KSB of individuals (e.g., Liou et al, 2016;Ghahtarani et al, 2020;Lin et al, 2020). However, to the best of the knowledge of the authors, this viewpoint has not been validated in the context of higher education.…”

Adopting online problem-based learning (OPBL) to internship educational programs is an effective teaching method to stimulate self-directed and collaborative learning and knowledge-sharing behavior (KSB) of students. However, the OPBL collaboration experience is different from the traditional lecture-based learning experience for students. Integrating social identity theory and commitment-trust theory develops a formative research model that explains the KSB of students when using social media tools for the OPBL process. This process encourages social interaction and communication of students, in turn, facilitating the integration of collective intelligence or the creation, sharing, and exchange of knowledge. Data collected from 425 nursing students who studied at seven nursing colleges or medical universities in Taiwan were analyzed using the partial least squares (PLSs) technique. The results indicate that social identification is a crucial antecedent of KSB. Relationship quality plays a vital role in shaping the effects of interpersonal trust and relationship commitment (RC) on KSB during internship periods. The findings can contribute to theoretical discussions and enhance the effectiveness of KSB in the literature of internship and non-internship in the higher education field.

“…Purchasing green products is personal behavior that can be manipulated through information and emotional processes. Ghahtarani et al (2020) argued that sharing knowledge can impact purchase intentions because by having the information about products and services, one can make wise decisions about which product will be purchased. Furthermore, internal locus of control (ILOC) is highlight ed as an essential determinant of behavior among consumers, where consumers with high INELOC have a more favorable attitude towards products (Patel et al, 2020).…”

Demand on eco-friendly products is burgeoning, as a form adaptation to climate change mitigation strategy. Hence, environmental issues are still considered as an emerging topic that concerns the tourism sector. Planned Behavior Theory (TPB) describes the formation of environmentally friendly behavior intentions in green purchase intentions of natural batik dyes. Data were obtained from 200 visitors who ever purchased natural dyed batik during their craft shopping tours to the city of Batik, Pekalongan Indonesia. The data were further analyzed using the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. The initial model's calculation results reveal that green subjective norm has no significant relationship on green purchase intention. Furthermore, green product knowledge and attitude positively impact green purse intention of batik products made from natural ingredients. The results showed that INELOC does not moderate the relationship between attitude (ATT) on green purchase intention. Craft shopping tour is becoming popular choice of sightseeing bundling offered by travel agents. Besides its positive value, increasing demand on the handicraft shopping also has a negative consequence on the environment. The destruction occurs as a result of rapid growth in consumption, hence, purchasing environmentally friendly products can be a way to minimize the climate change and balancing the ecosystems. Demand on eco-friendly products is burgeoning, as a form adaptation to climate change mitigation strategy. Realizing that the river pollution can endanger people's health, MSMEs have started producing batik with natural dyes. Although the number of MSMEs that produce natural dyed batik products is not high, the Pekalongan City Government is continually socialize the importance of reducing chemical waste and river pollution. These findings have important implications for marketers and policymakers of natural dye batik.
