“…First, the study contributes to the generalisation and extension of the social identity theory by applying it to the novel context of virtual workout sessions. Empirical results from this study add virtual workout satisfaction as another antecedent to team commitment which extends the study by Liao et al, 2020 , Sharma et al, 2021c . Second, this study answers the calls for future research by Liao et al (2020) on online gaming to extend the team commitment model to the context of fitness.…”

“…The social identity theory (SIT) states that a person’s identity is linked to their group ( Tajfel and Turner, 1986 ). The theory has been popularly used to examine online group behaviour in the context of online gaming ( Sharma et al, 2021c ), electronic project teams ( Tansley et al, 2013 ), social media ( Shih et al, 2017 ), microblogging ( Jiang et al, 2016 ), virtual communities ( Shih et al, 2017 ), addiction and health ( Bathish et al, 2017 ). The in-groups derive social norms and guide desired and normative behaviour of individuals ( Tajfel and Turner, 1986 ).…”

“…This study provides the first insights from a Small Island Developing State like Fiji. The difference in economic, cultural, and political factors between developed and developing countries profoundly impacts technology adoption [62]. The findings from this study show that only mimetic and normative isomorphism are significant external environmental factors affecting the adoption of agile innovation management, with mimetic isomorphism being the stronger of these two factors.…”

Research interest in Agile Innovation Management (AIM) has increased due to its growing popularity. However, little is known about adaptability by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This study examines the factors affecting intention to adopt AIM in SMEs. A conceptual framework is developed by combining internal and external environmental factors that influence adoption intention. Responses were received from 276 SMEs and analyzed using Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM). The results confirmed that external environmental factors of mimetic isomorphism and normative isomorphism have a positive association with the intention to adopt AIM. Moreover, the internal environmental factors of top management championship, adhocracy culture, clan culture, and organizational readiness were confirmed to be positively associated with AIM adoption. This study provides one of the first empirical evidence of AIM for SMEs. In doing so, the study contributes both theoretically and practically towards understanding strategies that would enhance adoption by SMEs.

Investment in employee developmental climate and employees' continued online learning behaviors: A social influence perspective

In the contemporary digital age, continued online learning behaviors have become indispensable for fostering employee development. However, the learning and development literature predominantly focuses on traditional instructor‐led approaches. It remains unclear how organizations can shape employees' learning behaviors, particularly in the context of online learning. The current study clarifies this underexplored research area by investigating how organizational investment in employee developmental climate (IEDC) can promote employees' continued online learning behaviors. Drawing on social influence theory and employing a multilevel research design, we find empirical support for our research model, which specifies that IEDC positively affects employees' continued online learning behaviors through the effect of normative pressure. The findings also reveal the moderating role of online learning facilitating conditions. Specifically, in firms characterized by higher levels of online learning facilitating conditions, the positive relationship between IEDC and normative pressure becomes more pronounced when compared to organizations with lower levels of such facilitating conditions.
