“…The acceptance and use of information technology (IT) and Web portals is a subject that has caught the attention of researchers and professionals in the area of computing and information systems (ISs), as a well-developed system that can be used more, setting out from the assumption that good software solutions can give organizations and their users competitive advantages (Al-Mamary et al, 2016;Cheng et al, 2019). Therefore, understanding why people use or reject IT has become one of the most challenging research topics in the area of ISs (Saleem et al, 2011;Verma et al, 2018).…”

Purpose Based on the technology acceptance model (TAM), this study aims to determine the influence of personality traits on the acceptance and usage of Web portals in Portuguese universities. Design/methodology/approach To this end, a quantitative study was conducted using structural equation modelling and a structured questionnaire, directed to teaching and non-teaching staff in Portuguese universities. Findings The results obtained from 338 valid responses indicate a positive influence between personality traits and the use of Web portals. Practical implications The study emphasizes the importance of usefulness and ease of use of Portuguese universities’ Web portals. It contributes to developing the literature about the process of information technology (IT) acceptance and use and users’ personality traits. Originality/value This study is innovative by contributing to the theory of personality traits and TAM in the context of Portuguese universities. The results reinforce the literature on TAM and the big five model, and on IT and Web portals in particular, which has been little explored in the academic context.

“…So, self-and/or others development, communication, values (Pont, 2013) and productivity across or not, organisational boundaries can be facilitated via instant messaging or video calls (Bathelt and Turi, 2011), for instance, and less formal cognitive interactions by virtue of mobile technology. Overall, mobile devices are excellent tools for instant communication, for archiving and retrieving interactions or processes, for involving multiple actors across eclectic locations and, sometimes, various time zones (Cheng et al , 2019), although they require a specific set of skills in terms of Spatio-temporal management (Majchrzak et al , 2013) or improvisation (Levallet and Chan, 2019).…”

“…Besides, to grasp how knowledge is managed within an organisational context other scholars (Allen and Cohen, 1969; Cecere and Ozman, 2014; Cheng et al , 2019) adopted a network approach, which highlights the complexity of the possible connections beyond a specific environment, across the globe and through collective knowledge which “encompasses social capital (the intellectual capital embedded in relationships) and cultural knowledge (i.e. a broader view of how things are done in the organisation or whom to contact for a specific project question” (Levallet and Chan, 2019, p. 182).…”

“…In the first section, we outline some relevant points from existing literature reviews with regard to creativity along with knowledge management and organisational knowledge dynamics. Within the inter-disciplinary narrative literature review (Baumeister and Leary, 1997), we also consider the nature and current needs of the environment for knowledge creation and/or conversion (Sawyer, 2008), as well as organisational “knowledge retention and/or knowledge loss” (Levallet and Chan, 2019) and highlight several technological enabling conditions (Makri, 2017; Levallet and Chan, 2018; Cheng et al , 2019). In the second part, we introduce the methodological and qualitative approaches used for our analysis and findings, as well as their interpretations.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine mobile technology as being a key apparatus and interface for collaborative innovation, which allows organisations to develop their information ecology. Design/methodology/approach The qualitative research was performed by in-depth interviews, observations and field notes. The eight main interviews are supported by an interdisciplinary narrative literature review of knowledge management and associated fields. Findings This study validates the following propositions: mobile technology can offer users timely information, mobile technology can foster collaboration beyond physical and organisational boundaries, in general, mobile technology enables a wider amount of interactions between people. Thereby, this paper draws some implications about the knowledge management of creative (and non-creative) workers. Research limitations/implications The collected data sheds light on how organisations and individuals positioned themselves about mobile technology co-creative practices before the COVID era. Therefore, it shall be pertinent to further investigate these findings through a quantitative approach to better ascertain path models and to strengthen the new results with another qualitative perspective, in the post-COVID era. Practical implications The study highlights how mobile devices are facilitating collaborative innovation practices by improving management decisions, enabling new business and/or operating models, developing a flow of ideas inner/outer an organisation and fostering the ability to make innovation. Social implications Mobile technology transforms the way to work (knowledge creation and/or conversion) and it changes the relations between collaborators in a working environment (beyond physical boundaries). This study deciphers how a creative and/or decision-making person can change their work schedule and/or routines based on the use of mobile devices. Originality/value The added value of this transdisciplinary study is that it improves research on collaborative innovation and collective knowledge by revealing three pertinent characteristics of mobile technology: enabling quick decision; connecting with a glocal network and fostering collective creativity. It also creates a bridge between the fields of education and business.

“…Achievement of skills and knowledge using digital tools with collaborative learning, blended learning, measuring learning outcomes, and more in-depth learning trends are reported in the NMC Horizon Report 2017 (HE Edition) (Adams Becker et al, 2017). Cheng et al (2019) and Peltier et al (2007) recommended a few features in successful e-learning: communication between students, teachers and students communication, course design, course content, quality of teaching, and administrator support. In a traditional classroom approach, communication between teachers and students happens directly (Martínez-Argüelles & Batalla-Busquet, 2016).…”

Aim/Purpose: The objective of the research was to study the relationship of seven independent factors: administrative support, course content, course design, instructor characteristics, learner characteristics, social support, and technical support on quality of e-learning in higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, the study analyzes the moderating effect(s) of gender and level of the course on the quality of e-learning in higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic. objective of the research was to study the relationship of seven independent factors: administrative support, course content, course design, instructor characteristics, learner characteristics, social support, and technical support on quality of e-learning in higher education during COVID-19 pandemic. Background: The COVID-19 pandemic situation has impacted the entire education system, especially universities, and brought a new phase in education “e-learning.” The learning supported with electronic technology like online classes and portals to access the courses outside the classroom is known as e-learning. This study aimed to point out the variables influencing the quality of e-learning, such as administrative support, course content, course design, instructor characteristics, learner characteristics, social support, and technological support. Methodology: An inferential statistics cross-sectional study was conducted of the students of higher education institutions in India and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with a self-administered questionnaire to learn the students’ perception of e-learning. All levels of undergraduate and postgraduate students took part in the study with a sample size of 784. Ultimately, this study used a Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach to find the positive relationship between the quality of e-learning and the seven independent variables and two moderating variables in the higher education sector. Contribution: The study aims to explore the quality of e-learning in higher education from the students’ perspective. The study was analyzed based on the student’s data collected from the higher educational institutions of India and Saudi Arabia. The study will support the top management and administrators of higher educational institutions in decision making. Findings: The findings revealed that there is a positive relationship between the set of variables and the quality of e-learning in the higher education sector. Also, there is a significant difference in the perception of the students between gender, level of the course, and quality of e-learning in the higher education sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations for Practitioners: The results of the study can help top management and administrators of higher educational institutions to improve their actions. Higher educational institutions need to concentrate on the study outcomes related to administrative support, course content, course design, instructor characteristics, learner characteristics, social support, and technological support to enhance the quality of e-learning. The study revealed that there should be a difference in the procedure of providing e-learning based on the level of the course and gender of the students. Recommendation for Researchers: The results were examined and interpreted in detail, based on the perspective of the students, and concluded with a view for future research. The study will be beneficial for academic researchers from different countries with a different set of students and framework. Impact on Society: The study revealed that the positive results of the students’ perspective on the quality of e-learning would help the policy-makers of the country in providing the learning process during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the result explored the importance of the quality aspects of e-learning for improvement. Future Research: There is a need for future studies to expose the quality of e-learning in higher education in the post-COVID-19 pandemic. Further researchers will bring the performance level of e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
