“…From the above discussion, we can derive the following hypotheses: Risk-taking ability (RTA). Whenever organizational change takes place, it must balance risk against opportunities (Khorshid and Mehdiabadi, 2021) and risk-taking ability is a dynamic ability in terms of DCV (Teece et al, 1997). Zahra (2005) suggested that this ability is a prerequisite for innovation and for any transformation in response to growth opportunities.…”

PurposeIn the post-COVID-19 era, the hospitality industry is rapidly moving towards digitalization, which requires employees to upgrade their knowledge and skills. Some employees resist those changes and refuse to upgrade their knowledge, skills and ways of doing things. Therefore, there is a need to understand this unexplored area and so this study examines employee intentions to embrace digital technology from the perspective of upgrading their skills and knowledge. The study investigates the moderating role of the employees' resistance to change motive (RCM) on their intention to embrace digital technology, especially in the post-COVID-19 pandemic scenario.Design/methodology/approachThe research is conducted using dynamic capability view (DCV) theory and status quo bias (SQB) theory. Drawing on the existing literature in this area, a theoretical model is developed, which is validated using the structural equation modelling technique to analyse data from hospitality industry employees.FindingsThe results indicate that employees' dynamic capability plays a significant role in employees' upgrading their skill and knowledge capabilities, and this significantly improves employee intention to embrace digital technology. It also finds that the employee RCM plays a significant role in the relationship between upgrading skill capability and their knowledge capability to relation to embracing digital technology.Originality/valueThe findings could be used by hospitality managers to better understand employee intentions with regard to adopting digital technology, challenges faced and the way forward.

“…This pushes them to engage in behaviors that deviate from the rules to promote effectiveness and prevent negative occurrences. The link between organizational identification and constructive deviance is built on the view that membership and identification with a group or organization promote pro-social and risk-taking behaviors toward the group or organization an individual identifies with (Irshad & Bashir, 2020;Khorshid & Mehdiabadi, 2020). This notion is further supported by the social identity theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1985).…”

Constructive deviance is a unique behavior that can promote performance and general organizational effectiveness. The mechanism connecting perceived organizational support to constructive deviance is under-researched in organizational behavior literature. Consequently, this study examined the moderating roles of organizational identification and psychological safety on the relationship between perceived organizational support and constructive deviance. A cross-sectional research design and a quantitative approach for data collection were utilized. Systematic and convenience sampling was used to select 203 frontline employees, 110 males and 93 females, from Delta State, Nigeria, commercial banks. Standardized self-report measures were used to collect participant data, while regression analysis (complemented with Model 1 of Hayes' PROCESS Macro) was used to test the hypotheses. The results indicated that perceived organizational support, identification, 176 Contemporary Management Research and psychological safety positively and significantly predicted constructive deviance. Also, psychological safety moderated the relationship between perceived organizational support and constructive deviance, while organizational identification did not. The results highlight the importance of high and low levels of psychological safety in increasing and attenuating the relationship between perceived organizational support and constructive deviance. It was recommended that employees should be respected and valued for their contributions, their well-being should be prioritized, and the psychological and general safety climate should be well established in the organization.

“…While academia traditionally is a low-risk, slow-moving, and thoughtful enterprise, administrative pursuits and organizational changes drive colleges to take on more risks (Battilana et al, 2009). Khorshid and Mehdiabadi’s (2021) risk-taking framework includes organizational, meso, and individual levels. Organizational risk-taking may align with the individual level and may combine at the meso level to amplify entrepreneurial opportunities.…”

“…Organizational risk-taking may align with the individual level and may combine at the meso level to amplify entrepreneurial opportunities. When the risk-taking culture of the college and leaders are not aligned with each other, it complicates decision-making and actions (Khorshid & Mehdiabadi, 2021). Leaders thus interpret the risk-taking nature of the college while paying attention to their own comfort with risk.…”

Objective: This article explores entrepreneurial leadership behavior from the vantage point of mid- and senior-level administrators who lead international education initiatives at U.S. community colleges. Administrators’ choices are examined to understand how they develop and use strategies for targeted problem solving within their institutional context. Research questions posed in this study include: (1) How, if at all, do community college international education leaders (CC-IELs) self-identify as entrepreneurs? (2) What characteristics embody a CC-IEL entrepreneurial leader? (3) How are CC-IELs navigators of institutional contexts? Methods: Semi-structured interviews are used to investigate the perspectives and entrepreneurial leadership skills and behaviors of 14 CC-IELs. A narrative analysis approach allowed these leaders to reflect on their perspectives and narrate their decision-making process. Results: Findings indicated that the CC-IELs in this study identified as entrepreneurial leaders, used characteristics such as collaboration to build a culture of innovation, and strategically utilized relationships with stakeholders to ground themselves as navigators of institutional contexts. Contributions: This article contributes to the understanding of an under-studied group of leaders in community colleges, specifically those who lead international education programs. It also provides insight into the entrepreneurial dimensions of CC-IEL leadership roles.
