“…According to Iqbal et al (2021a, b), entrepreneurship can be taught or supported through education. Entrepreneurship assistance programs, such as those developed by Vrontis et al (2022) and Nasar et al (2021), are effective in spurring entrepreneurs to start new businesses or enhance existing ones. Entrepreneurship education has positively affected students' desire to start a business.…”

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.

“…The rest of the office works from home, thus saving water and electricity. Since the COVID-19 outbreak (e.g., Thrassou et al 2022c;Vrontis et al 2022), they have continued with the policy of working from home; hence, the time spent by personnel on using the system was reduced. In this manner, their organization contributed to the environmental and social wellbeing of people, since employees worked only for 5 h/5 days a week.…”

At the intersection of digitization and sustainability, the current article explores the application of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) in the service sector in India. The analysis draws on findings collected through questionnaires and interviews (mixed methods) with managers at middle, senior, and top levels of the hierarchy. The findings suggest that technology can both facilitate and hinder the sustainability effort; therefore, the implications on internal stakeholders, such as workers and managers, can be both positive and negative. Additionally, technologies that are taken for granted in certain parts of the world may be inappropriate in the Indian context. As a result, sustainability frameworks are implemented selectively rather than holistically. The adoption of an ESG framework has a largely positive impact on investors. While companies do not place much emphasis on employees’ wellbeing and ‘human rights’, they still link ESG to ‘Supply Chain Sustainability’. Contributing to the signaling theory, there is also evidence of firms’ motivation to adopt ESG practices for the purposes of legitimacy and forming external stakeholders’ perceptions. The current study is both timely and important due to the high interest in the application of tools facilitating sustainability performance. The study contributes to both the literature and practice, since it adds to our understanding concerning the challenges faced by firms in implementing ESG practices, whereas it also enables administrators to identify areas for the further development of sustainable practices.

“…Svotwa, Jaiyeoba, Roberts-Lombard, and Makanyeza (2022) are just a few of the reviews that can be found in the literature on the topic. While previous research in this area focused on quantifying university knowledge transfer activity (licenses, parents, spin-offs) and analyzing plans that could affect the efficacy of this activity (Vrontis et al, 2022), there has been more recent work devoted to examining the factors that lead academics to show entrepreneurial behavior.…”

There is a growing understanding that professors worldwide are engaging in academic entrepreneurship. Still, many issues remain unresolved about the personal and institutional factors that influence professors' decisions to pursue such endeavours. This study aims to understand better the factors that influence academic entrepreneurship intentions in Chinese institutions. This work creates a model associating China's university context and academic researchers' psychological characteristics with establishing academic entrepreneurship using a classic entrepreneurial model and some studies on academic entrepreneurial intention. We use Smart PLS 4.0 software and a partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach to evaluate the model on 364 samples from China's teaching and research universities, with the findings indicating: 1) personality, individual resource capital, and government policy can significantly affect academic entrepreneurship; 2) university support environment can both moderate the relation between government policy and academic entrepreneurship, but also university support environment can significantly affect the academic entrepreneurship directly. The findings have significant implications for China's goal to encourage more extraordinary academic entrepreneurship around universities, as well as the strategy to establish an entrepreneurial university.
