“…In learning, the acquisition of knowledge and skills is regarded as a fundamental goal. Several studies ( Zhou, 2013 ; Stavrou et al, 2015 ; Huang et al, 2017 ; Lee et al, 2018 ; Rodríguez-Ardura and Meseguer-Artola, 2019 ; Yen and Lin, 2020 ) have found that skills and challenges are critical antecedents in flow theory. Users become bored when their skills exceed the challenge of a task and become anxious when the challenge of a task exceeds their skills.…”

“…However, ECT emphasizes the exploration of intention to continue using information technology from a utility perspective (e.g., perceived usefulness) rather than a hedonic perspective (e.g., perceived pleasure) ( Bhattacherjee, 2001 ; Dağhan and Akkoyunlu, 2016 ; Alshurideh et al, 2020 ). Some studies ( Cheng and Yuen, 2018 ; Fang et al, 2019 ; Rodríguez-Ardura and Meseguer-Artola, 2019 ; Yen and Lin, 2020 ) have suggested that both the usefulness of information systems and hedonic factors should be considered when information technology is applied in a learning context.…”

“…Most studies have explored the hedonic experiences of users based on flow theory ( Kim and Hall, 2019 ; Lee et al, 2020 ; Yen and Lin, 2020 ), according to which flow is a pleasant experience of complete absorption in a task. The study of Alraimi et al (2015) argued that the pleasant feelings of users help to strengthen their motivation to use and continue to use information technology for learning.…”

“…The study of Alraimi et al (2015) argued that the pleasant feelings of users help to strengthen their motivation to use and continue to use information technology for learning. Researchers ( Stavrou et al, 2015 ; Huang et al, 2017 ; Rodríguez-Ardura and Meseguer-Artola, 2019 ; Yen and Lin, 2020 ) have found that flow experience originates from a balance between challenge and the ability of an individual to overcome the challenge. Thus, flow occurs when an individual has confidence in their ability to overcome a challenge.…”

This study explored the factors that affect the intention of users to continue using mobile learning (m-learning) applications (apps). The influence of habit on user behavior toward information systems has been extensively discussed in the literature, but its role in the continuance of users when it comes to their usage of apps, especially m-learning apps, has rarely been reported. To obtain a comprehensive understanding of behaviors regarding the use of m-learning apps, this study constructed a theoretical research framework based on expectation confirmation theory and flow theory by considering habit as a moderating variable. Online questionnaires were administered to users of m-learning apps in Taiwan and data were analyzed through a structural equation modeling approach. The results indicated that the intention of users to continue using m-learning apps was influenced by satisfaction, perceived usefulness, and flow experience. Expectation confirmation affected user satisfaction and perceived usefulness. Differences existed in the intention to continue usage between users with strong and weak habits. In addition, perceived usefulness, expectation confirmation, and flow experience had direct and positive effects on satisfaction. The implications of these findings were discussed.

“…Entrepreneurial self-efficacy is defined as a composite of self-efficacy towards five tasks: innovation, risk-taking, marketing, management and financial control. When surveying students in three business study programs, it was found that entrepreneurship students have a higher entrepreneurial self-efficacy average in marketing, management and financial control than did organizational psychology and management students (Chen et al, 1998;Chatterji et al, 2014;Yen and Lin, 2020).…”

This study seeks to investigate the entrepreneurial perceptions among the students regarding their professional careers analyzing macro, micro and entrepreneurial education factors in Latvia, including the analysis of gender differences. The research is based on the analysis of data collected through a survey. The paper uses statistical analysis involving the measures of descriptive statistics (absolute and relative frequencies, means and respective standard deviations) and inferential statistics to examine the differences within an original dataset of 360 young people in Latvia. The results reveal several statistically significant gender differences. This research contributes to enriching literature and also adds value to studies on entrepreneurial perceptions divided by gender. Understanding the factors which shape entrepreneurship education, macrofactors and microfactors affecting young people's decisions and perceptions, education systems and public policies would allow adjusting and designing policies aiming to boost entrepreneurship education and enhance entrepreneurship as a career choice and balance it in a gender context.
