“…Because ITP have different career needs, organizations should attempt to provide incentives that are consistent with underlying career values [ 10 ]. Therefore, some additional characteristics of the career anchor of the ITP are as follows: (1) Managerial competence anchor, i.e., ITP have to combine this competence with technical competence to perform qualified IS; thus, this anchor is a critical skill for them [ 9 ].…”

“…Although a number of scholars have studied the internal career satisfaction of employees and the important skills of ITP, ITP still need to enhance their skills via their career path [ 10 , 20 ], aspirations, and career success [ 19 , 20 ]. However, those studies did not explain how to increase the CS of ITP from either an individual or an organizational perspective and, thus, further improve the success rate of IS projects.…”

“…Because culture is another important factor influencing the career anchors of ITP, previous studies have established CW only [ 10 , 20 ], and scholars have not compared the gap between CW and CH from different cultural areas. In addition, China and East Asia (including Chinese society) have long been influenced by Confucianism, while the Middle East and Southeast Asia are influenced by Islam; these two areas have different religions and developed different cultures among their people.…”

The career anchors of information technology personnel (ITP) are critical factors influencing their career satisfaction (CS), and these factors are also influenced by national culture. Although a number of scholars have studied the internal CS of employees, these scholars have not explained how to increase the CS of ITP from both individual and organizational perspectives and to further improve the success rate of IS projects. Thus, this study adopts the goal–achievement gap (discrepancy) theory to explore the gap between the “internal career desires (career wants, CW)” and “external career opportunities (career have, CH)” of ITP in two different cultural societies, namely mainland China and the United Arab Emirates, and whether the gap impacts their CS. The data in this study were collected from the Internet. A survey was posted on Internet discussion forums for full-time ITP participants within organizations in China and the United Arab Emirates; thus, the results of this study are possibly only generalizable to these two countries. Finally, the results of this study provide the following contributions: (1) There are 13 career anchors (technical competence, managerial competence, autonomy, organizational stability, challenge, lifestyle, identity, creativity, variety, service, entrepreneurship, geographic security, and learning motivation) of ITP in China, which can be divided into three categories, and these are totally different from the four categories identified by ITP in the United Arab Emirates. (2) The surface analysis approach (RSA) to test the curvilinear relationship between the CW, CH, and CS of ITP indeed can explain more than the linear SEM (structural equation modeling) test between the CW and CS, CH, and CS separately, both tests are in two different cultural societies, China and the United Arab Emirates.

“…On the contrary, researchers have claimed that students are less inclined to use e-learning systems [14] in their education even after the teachers' influence. The factors affecting mobile devices' usage among students are its reasonable price, assertiveness towards usage, determination, and focus on achievement and information controls [15], [16]. As stated in reference [17], mobile devices like palmtops, tablets, laptops, personal digital assistants, and mobile phones act as a learning tool with acceptable capability in lecture rooms and outside learning.…”

<p>In order to facilitate effective learning experiences for the students, mobile learning (m-learning) has evolved as a powerful component of education – learning and teaching. M-learning, as opposed to electronic learning (e-learning) which uses small and portable devices along with laptops and desktops, uses mostly small and portable technological tools. M-learning assists in imparting knowledge focusing on the need of the learner, accessibility, infrastructure, and interaction, irrespective of the place and time. With rapid advancements in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and mobile devices, myriad applications (apps) and innovative m-learning and e-learning services are being developed and launched at an unprecedented pace. For students representing different demographics (age, education level, class, socioeconomic status, location, etc.) and enrolled in higher education, m-learning has quickly become the modern style and preferred format of learning and accessing knowledge for its ease of integrating different modes of learning. Motivated by this novel m-learning learning movement, this study synthesizes existing research on m-learning technologies, technological platforms that cater to both synchronous and asynchronous learning/teaching modalities for students and teachers at institutions of higher education.</p>

The use of game in education has been evidenced to improve students’ engagement in learning. However, much research shows that the use of game in learning is only effective for high school students, while its use for students of higher education is limited. Research on game in education has predominantly been occupied by Kahoot! while Quizizz has received less analysis. This research aims to explore student perception of Quizizz as a learning media and the related obstacles experienced in a library science study program of State Islamic University of North Sumatera in Indonesia. The research uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, such as survey and focused group discussion, with a sample of 272 undergraduate students. The study found that the use of games in learning actively increased student engagement and led to a significant improvement in independence and self-control in learning. During the learning activity students maintain that they gain their self-confidence while enjoying the game. The research suggests that to increase learning achievement, educators should use various teaching strategies that encourage students’ active mental and physical engagement. Additionally, it is expected that this learning experience and content will enhance students' retentive memory.
