“…However, the study found no significant result for H3a and H3b and confirmed the previous studies' results that there is no indirect impact of social media in formulating the perceptions for entrepreneurial activity rather it has a direct effect on the creation of such business intentions. According to Datta, Adkins and Fitzsimmons (2020), in those societies where entrepreneurial activities are supported by their environment then the intentions to start such ventures are more instead of considering the perceptions of feasibility and desirability because this environmental assistance motivates people and make them able and skilled by assuring them a continuous backing. A large percentage of participants in this research occupied the age group less than 24 and almost all respondents have regular interaction with social media sites that can contribute to building strong business intentions.…”

“…Recent business enterprise literature has interchanged from review entrepreneurs as reasonable decision-makers and self-sufficient toward survey entrepreneurs as implanted in social networks or informal communities (Datta, Adkins & Fitzsimmons, 2020). Social media (in various ways) furnish business visionaries with an extensive variety of significant assets not effectively in their ownership and help them accomplish their objectives (Alayis, Abdelwahed & Atteya, 2018).…”

The main purpose of this research is to study the impact of perceived desirability and perceived feasibility on entrepreneurial intentions and also identify the difference in intentions of gender and the moderating impact of social media. For this quantitative research, a study survey was conducted in March 2021 in the universities of Pakistan. The target sample for the study was 500 including both male and female graduate students. The results of the study reveal the positive impact of perceived desirability and feasibility on entrepreneurial intentions. Both males and females are ambitious to start their own entrepreneurial ventures but there is a difference in intentions and the direct influence of social media is identified. The study is limited by its cross-sectional data and it is difficult to inspect the business intentions because such intentions are developed inside the people’s minds. It holds important implications for policymakers and educators to enhance self-efficacy and outcome expectations. The research took all three approaches of entrepreneurship into account for exploring the positive relation between perceptions and entrepreneurial intentions. By incorporation of social media variables into the study framework, it focuses on issues not presently discussed in the entrepreneurial literature. For future research, the study would suggest exploring the moderating role of other sociological and personal characteristics. The attitude of both genders toward entrepreneurship has remarkably changed and this independency because of social media can give them a better understanding of the practical world.

“…According to AlDhanhani (2021) GEM 2.0 is defined as a model designed to inspire and support the UAE government's efforts in its journey towards excellence in government performance services by achieving a qualitative leap in leadership and administrative positions, adopting pioneering thinking, and formulating future government policies for the country. Datta et al (2020) indicates that the government excellence model formed a path that enables the government to reach new horizons that may go beyond excellence in order to achieve leadership and create a proactive and smart government capable of adopting the best government practices based on effectiveness and efficiency based on advanced concepts in government work that aspires to the integrated future in government work. GEM 2.0 came as a philosophy that contributed to referring to the institutional thinking in the UAE government and the leadership and administrative mentality enjoyed by its rulers (Elsafty & Seddek, 2022).…”

By relying on SPSS, the study came to the conclusion that there is a high level realization of the concept of GEM 2.0 by talented professionals and that realization is attributed to the explicit and clear sequence of development of the model over time, in addition to the idea that the model took into account the differences and specializations in the nature of governmental services.
