“…The use of ESM has become increasingly prevalent in organizations, providing employees with a platform for communication, cooperation, and information sharing. Previous research suggests that ESM can positively impact employee agility, which indicates the capacity of an employee to respond and adapt to changing circumstances in a dynamic work environment [ 2 , 5 ]. ESM platforms offer employees the opportunity to access real-time information, connect with colleagues across departments and hierarchical levels, and engage in rapid decision-making processes.…”

This present research aims to clarify the intricate conjunction of enterprise social media (ESM) utilization and employee agility with a main focus on uncovering the underlying mechanisms that work through the mediating influence of work engagement and the moderating influence of regulatory focus. Drawing upon regularity focus theory, 353 Chinese samples of ESM users in organizational contexts are analyzed using SPSS 23.0. The empirical findings substantiate a robust and significant positive linkage between ESM usage and worker agility. Further reinforcing the model, the mediating role of work engagement is established as it channels the impact of ESM usage on worker agility. Turning to the moderating effects, the study unveils the differential impact of prevention focus and promotion focus, wherein individuals with a lower prevention focus exhibit a more pronounced positive linkage between ESM usage and worker agility. Similarly, individuals with a higher promotion focus demonstrate a heightened positive association between ESM usage and worker agility. By comprehensively inspecting the intricate dynamics of ESM usage, work engagement, and regulatory focus, this study enhances our theoretical understanding of how these factors synergistically shape employee agility, ultimately furnishing organizations with invaluable insights to foster and cultivate an agile workforce.

The literature presents various contributions regarding students' entrepreneurial intentions. However, only a few recent papers have delved into the realm of student entrepreneurship, encompassing both nascent entrepreneurs (i.e., students who are in the process of creating their own businesses) and active entrepreneurs (i.e., students who already own and are running their own businesses). Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, no previous studies have explored the association between individual skills, such as coding and digital skills, and students' entrepreneurial intentions and student entrepreneurship. This article aims at filling these gaps by quantitatively testing if coding and digital skills are significant factors for students' entrepreneurial engagement and student entrepreneurship. Throughout this article, the term "students' entrepreneurial engagement" encompasses both students' entrepreneurial intentions and student entrepreneurship. Drawing on perspectives from human capital and social capital theories, we hypothesized that these individual skills could have a statistically significant positive impact on students' entrepreneurial engagement and student entrepreneurship. To assess coding and digital skills, we categorized them into knowledge and experience, as suggested by the human capital theory. Through several regression analyses on 2608 Italian university students, we validated our hypotheses. These findings contribute both theoretically and practically to the entrepreneurship literature.
