“…Moreover, passion fosters the sense that developing entrepreneurial skills is significant. Passion is associated with motivation and has the potential to encourage innovation (Porkodi & Rajesh, 2014).

“…Through entrepreneurship education, students are encouraged to follow their passion and find opportunities that work for them (Jabarullah & Hussain, 2019). Thus, the institution also plays a vital role in kindling entrepreneurship and learning passion (Porkodi & Rajesh, 2014). This may be accomplished by making people more aware of the opportunities that exist in the world of entrepreneurship, which might be the major focus of the entrepreneurial course (Sun et al, 2017).…”

Entrepreneurship is a powerful tool that reduces unemployment, boosts economic growth, and promotes innovation and social change. With a focus on the promotion of entrepreneurial intention possessed by higher education institutions offering entrepreneurship education, this study assesses the indirect impact of higher education institutions in developing entrepreneurial intention through passion as a mediator. It also investigates the moderating role of individual differences and innovativeness between the entrepreneurship education in higher education institution and the entrepreneurship educational outcome, namely entrepreneurial intention. Also, the moderated mediation relationship between entrepreneurship education in a higher education institution and entrepreneurial intention is assessed. To conduct the cross‐sectional study, data was collected from 636 students perusing an entrepreneurship course at colleges affiliated with Bharathiar University in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu (India). A questionnaire with 37 items is used to collect the data as ratings from respondents. The moderated mediation model is designed and tested using the bootstrapping method in the Hayes PROCESS macro model. According to the findings, the association between entrepreneurship education in higher education institutions and passion is negatively moderated by individual differences and innovativeness. Further, the study revealed that the combined effect of the higher education institution, individual differences, and innovativeness on entrepreneurial intention is mediated by passion. Context and implicationsRationale for this studyThis empirical research aimed to assess the impact of higher education institutions and the effect of passion, individual differences, and innovativeness in developing the entrepreneurial intention to support the educational experience of higher education institutions offering entrepreneurship education.Why the new findings matterThe findings of the study indicate that higher education institutions promote entrepreneurial intention through quality content, instructors, and an entrepreneurial environment that considers individual differences. However, controlled environments can negatively impact innovative students' entrepreneurial intentions, as learning passion indirectly influences entrepreneurial intentions.Implications for EducatorsThe educational institutions must provide a distinct entrepreneurial environment for students pursuing entrepreneurship programmes. Collaborative learning should be adopted to create huge differences in the skills, attitudes, and confidence levels of the students and to assess individual competence and team effort. Low or average‐skilled students can be motivated and encouraged to participate in entrepreneurial events inside and outside the institution, whereas highly competent students can be provided with real‐world business opportunities to launch new ventures, which may inspire and drive their peers.

“…Additionally, some workers may lack the proper education or training to effectively use digital technologies, which may not result in a favourable experience for such workers (Moganadas & Goh, 2022). However, research shows that enhancing the DEX may improve productivity, employee engagement, and customer satisfaction (Porkodi & Ghosal, 2015;Fang et al, 2018). An organisation cannot use digital technology to improve employee experience and performance without a complete grasp of DEX, its influence on organisational performance, and its association with employee demographics.…”

The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of various influential elements and demographic characteristics on the digital employee experience, with a focus on the telecommunications sector in the Sultanate of Oman. The main objectives of the research are to assess the intensity of various elements such as digital tool usability, technology accessibility, training availability, leadership support, organisational culture, and working environment on the digital employee experience and to explore the relationship between digital employee experience and employee demographic characteristics such as gender, age, education level, work experience, digital literacy, and job tenure in the telecommunications sector in Oman. The data collection is made using an online survey with a sample size of 150 employees from top telecommunications companies in Oman using quota sampling. To accomplish the research goals, IBM SPSS Statistics was used to conduct quartile analysis and ANOVA. Based on the results, it was found that the intensity of digital tool usability on the digital employee experience is high when compared to the other elements, and all demographic characteristics except gender have an impact on digital experience. Several suggestions were made based on the information discovered from the findings.

“…There exists plenty of novel ideas and methods to be followed by the managers in accomplishing their work remotely in a more operative manner (Newman and Ford, 2021). Predominantly, the managers can advance the work engagement of the employee and the performance of the team by developing a specific culture in doing the work and taking imperative actions to support and guide their employees in the workplace (Al Mamari et al, 2019). However, if the team members and employees are distributed remotely, it creates a huge challenge to guide the team.…”

Due to the prevailing Covid-19 pandemic, performing day-to-day activities as well as work have become a most imperative challenge. It results in reduced workers’ competencies at all levels and posed unpredicted issues for managers in all organizations. Correspondingly, there is a dearth of research on the overview of how to resolve this issue. This article is intended to explore leadership approaches that help to adapt them in fluctuating scenarios that exist due to the Covid-19. Accordingly, a systematic literature review of articles and research works published in various standard databases including Scopus, Web of Science, and other reports have been analyzed. A lot of studies have been focused on frontline work by converging on specific factors such as work engagement, and employee performance which are employee-oriented. Consequently, there is a lack of research on organization-oriented leadership approaches to be adapted for post-pandemic recovery. Thus, this paper helps the managers to recover from the problems and issues instigated by the pandemic. It is identified that a supportive workplace, open communication, individual and organizational cooperation, and a healthy working atmosphere could be extremely helpful in adapting and transforming organizations in the present situation. Finally, this research work also recommends future directions to organizations in implementing various leadership tactics for post-covid recovery.
