“…It has been identified that subjective norm is one of the most critical factors which may lead to the actual system use because it has an impact on both the perceived ease of use and the attitude towards use. Further, it was revealed that the perceived ease of use also has an impact on attitude towards use which provides support for earlier research (e.g., [87]-[91]). Thus, the subjective norm not only impacts attitude towards use directly but also produces an indirect impact through perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness.…”

The purpose of this research is to fill the gap in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in the context of multimedia-based learning in higher education. An additional variable - namely, subjective norm, has been added to TAM, and one of the main criticisms by the earlier researchers of it was that the model does not account for the human and social aspects of technology acceptance. The model has been empirically tested by the positivist paradigm of research using a sample size of 206 students in higher education in Kuwait, based on the convenience sampling method. A questionnaire survey through Google forms has been adopted to collect the quantitative data required for the study. The data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique. Nine hypotheses were postulated based on the extended TAM, among which six hypotheses were supported, and accordingly, the model has been fine-tuned. The most important finding of the study is that subjective norm has a significant and positive impact on both perceived ease of use and attitude towards the use of multimedia-based learning systems; however, the subjective norm has no direct significant influence on the intention to use. The hypothesis testing results have led to practical implications in the form of suggestions to technology managers in multimedia-based learning to enhance system use. The research has both theoretical and practical implications, and hence, will be useful to both academicians and practitioners.

“…Regardless of the general criteria offered to guide CSR engagement of consumers, existing research studies also suggest that discrepancies may occur while being examined in different industrial contexts (Fatma et al, 2018 ; White and Alkandari, 2019 ; Chu et al, 2020 ). More specifically, scholars perceive CSR engagement in nature as a context-based notion that cannot be separated from contextual considerations across culture and industry.…”

The global coronavirus pandemic has reignited a strategic debate among the business community of the necessity for corporate social responsibility (CSR) engagement in the ever-dynamic social media. Considering the global economic downturn introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic, the present research is devoted to investigating whether CSR engagement in social media can help DiDi (a Chinese shared brand) at stake survive this overwhelming crisis. A theoretical model proposed to describe the hypothesized relationships was tested by a Structural Equation Modeling technique through the empirical online questionnaire. Through findings, we demonstrated that there was a positive relationship between CSR engagement of DiDi on WeChat, customer–company identification (C–C identification), and behavioral intention [purchase intention, brand loyalty, and e-word-of-mouth (eWOM)] of customers. With attention to psychological influence, our empirical statistics also evidenced the mediating role of C-C identification between CSR engagement and behavioral intention of customers. This study highlights the significant role of CSR engagement in a critical period theoretically and offers businesses more open innovation strategies to compete against the COVID-19 pandemic-induced market downturn.

“…Most studies that discuss the effect of CSR were done in emerging economies in Asia (for instance, Aras et al , 2010; Fatma and Rahman, 2016; Kao et al , 2018). Understanding CSR from the perspective of different social and cultural contexts and how it affects a country's image is vital for international public relations knowledge and successful business practices (White and Alkandari, 2019). This understanding can serve as a CSR guide for multinational companies (MNC) who are planning to enter and those already operating in developing economies.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic review of empirical research studies on corporate social responsibility (CSR) in emerging economies.Design/methodology/approachThis paper employed a systematic literature review using research papers published on CSR in emerging economies from 2010 to 2019.FindingsThe findings of this paper show that the principal themes of published research articles on CSR in emerging economies are (1) effects of CSR, (2) drivers of CSR and (3) challenges of CSR. Additionally, publications on CSR in emerging economies have been dominated by studies that used quantitative approach and cross-sectional design. A significant number of studies also employed secondary data sources with most of these studies not being sensitive to sectoral influencesResearch limitations/implicationsThe research is non-empirical.Practical implicationsCSR is an area that can mitigate some of the developmental challenges of emerging economies and also stimulate the economic growth of firms. Thus, governments and organisations must partner to provide suitable conditions that would influence organisations to incorporate CSR in their business plans.Originality/valueThis review is the first of its kind that identifies the principal thematic domains of research on CSR in emerging economies. This review also provides proof of the areas of research that need attention and also provides recommendation on future areas of study on CSR in emerging economies.
