“…Also, uniformity in educational programs or professional training for entrepreneurs may result in a shared level of knowledge and skill in applying AI to business, leading to similar responses. There may be increasing gender parity in entrepreneurship, with women attaining similar levels of empowerment, resource access, and opportunities as their male counterparts, which is reflected in their similar perspectives on AI [15,34,42]. Table 2 presents descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney Test results for the AI-enhanced leadership construct.…”

“…These innovations can lead to improved work structures and processes, boosting employee health, well-being, and engagement and enhancing overall performance [41]. Also, Nahar [42] found that men and women perceive and use technology differently. For instance, men are often more confident in adopting new technologies and perceive them as more useful than women, who may show hesitancy and lack confidence in using such technologies.…”

Background: Our research delved into exploring various selected facets of AI-driven employee engagement, from the gender perspective, among Slovenian entrepreneurs. Methods: This research is based on a random sample of 326 large enterprises and SMEs in Slovenia, with an entrepreneur completing a questionnaire in each enterprise. Results: Findings suggest that there are no significant differences between male and female entrepreneurs in Slovenia regarding various aspects of AI-supported entrepreneurial management practice including the following: AI-supported entrepreneurial culture, AI-enhanced leadership, adopting AI to reduce employee workload, and incorporating AI tools into work processes. The widespread integration of AI into entrepreneurship marks a transition to a business landscape that values inclusivity and equity, measuring success through creativity, strategic technology deployment, and leadership qualities, rather than relying on gender-based advantages or limitations. Our research also focused on the identification of gender differences in path coefficients regarding the impact of the four previously mentioned aspects of AI on employee engagement. While both genders see the value in using AI to alleviate employee workload, the path coefficients indicate that female entrepreneurs report higher effectiveness in this area, suggesting differences in the implementation of AI-integrated strategies or tool selection. Male entrepreneurs, on the other hand, appear to integrate AI tools into their work processes more extensively, particularly in areas requiring predictive analytics and project scheduling. This suggests a more technical application of AI in their enterprises. Conclusions: These findings contribute to understanding gender-specific approaches to AI in enterprises and their subsequent effects on employee engagement.

“…TAM is amongst the prevalent theories explaining the adoption of new technologies, specifically among micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). To date, prior studies on MSMEs have investigated technology's adoption in various forms, for instance, e-government service [10], [11], mobile banking [12], [13], e-commerce platforms [14], [15], mobile payment [16], [17], enterprise system [18], [19] and social media [20], [21].…”

The emergence of digital economies has led to the diffusion of digital innovation in business activities. A book-keeping digital application known as "Buku Kedai" is among the innovations invented by researchers to optimise entrepreneurial business performance. Despite offering tremendous benefits, its adoption is low. The intriguing phenomenon triggers the researchers to study the factors accelerating its adoption. Emulating the factors proposed by the theory of acceptance model (TAM), the researchers predict that adopting "Buku Kedai" is related to perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and subjective norms. The researchers distributed 300 questionnaires to Malaysian micro-entrepreneurs. However, only 248 data proceeded for further analysis. Employing SPSS 27 and partial least squarestructural equation model (PLS-SEM) 3, the results indicated that all three variables, namely perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and subjective norms, are significant predictors of "Buku Kedai" adoption. The discoveries shed insights for policymakers, governments, and academia to formulate development programs for empowering entrepreneurs through digital and capability upscaling. Besides, the programs should encourage the involvement of social contacts to support microentrepreneurs in adopting "Buku Kedai". Adopting the "Buku Kedai" application is crucial in enhancing microentrepreneurs' quality, viability, resilience, and competitiveness in pursuing success and sustainability.
