This research was conducted to develop the Inquiry-Driven Virtual Communities of Practice model (The ID VCoP model) in order to enhance the learning competencies of Thai digital agriculturists in preparation for the agriculture 4.0 era. The objectives of this study were to 1) develop the ID VCoP model to promote digital agriculturalists’ learning competencies, and 2) evaluate the suitability of the ID VCoP model. The research procedure consisted of two phases. The first phase involved the development of the model: 1) studying, analyzing, and synthesizing existing documents and previous research findings; 2) organzing the ID VCoP model; and 3) establishing the ID VCoP model. The second phase involved model validation and evaluation. This study’s expert panel was divided into two expert groups: 1) qualitative research by the focus group method, consisting of seven experts recruited through purposive sampling; and 2) quantitative research by the expert judgment method, consisting of five experts recruited through purposive sampling. Five components with 19 subcomponents comprise the model’s structure. The model contributes to VCoP members’ digital agriculturalists’ learning competencies. Experts agreed that the model as a whole was suitable at a very high level.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a global impact, affecting millions of people and causing various symptoms, leading to social distancing, and quarantine measures. This has impacted the global economy, employment, and education, resulting in widespread school and business closures. Entrepreneurs have had to face the difficult decision of whether to continue or pause their operations during the pandemic, which could result in mental health problems such as fear, anxiety, or stress. The primary objective of this research is to identify mental health issues faced by entrepreneurs during the pandemic, including the countries of origin, conclusions, and lessons learned. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in the SCOPUS database, providing 93 initial results that were later filtered, resulting in 18 final records. These records allowed for the identification of scientific evidence detailing the mental health problems that entrepreneurs faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: We found that the COVID-19 pandemic has presented challenges for entrepreneurs, leading to increased stress and burnout. However, some have coped by seeking support, using digital technology, and adopting innovative business models. Entrepreneurship can positively impact well-being by allowing individuals to pursue meaningful work aligned with their values. Effective communication with customers is essential for maintaining businesses and building loyalty. The pandemic has highlighted the need for specialized psychological support tailored to entrepreneurs' unique challenges. Finally, entrepreneurship can address societal challenges with a focus on social impact and sustainability. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant challenges for entrepreneurs, resulting in heightened stress and burnout. Despite this, many entrepreneurs have adapted and coped by seeking support, leveraging digital technology, and embracing innovative business models.
