This study aims to explore the impact of technology readiness (TR) on career adaptability (CA) and adapting behaviours among public sector workers in Ghana. It also examines the mediating role of CA in the relationship between TR and adapting behaviours. The study adopts a quantitative research design using a survey method. A sample of 484 public sector employees from various government agencies and departments in Ghana is selected. The study employed a non-probability sampling procedure that combined convenience and purposeful sampling. The data are analysed using covariance-based structural equation modelling with AMOS v24 to test the hypotheses and the proposed conceptual model. The results show that TR has a positive and significant effect on CA, boundary integration, and job crafting. CA also has a positive and significant effect on boundary integration and job crafting. Furthermore, CA mediates the relationship between TR and the two adapting behaviours. This study is one of the first to investigate the influence of TR on CA and adapting behaviours. It reveals how employees respond to the challenges and opportunities of technological innovation and work transformation. It also provides useful insights and recommendations for enhancing technology adoption and career development among public sector workers, especially in developing countries.

Purpose Universities are constantly searching for best practices to promote sustainability when it comes to educating students of the English language. Although this area of study has recently gained the attention of scholars around the world there is still a need to explore it from various perspectives. Objective This study aims to comprehensively investigate the impact of digital immersive technology on the education of English language students, specifically focusing on its potential to promote critical thinking and self-directed learning for achieving sustainability in education through teamwork. The research will assess the influence of digital immersive experiences on enhancing learning outcomes, examining their role in fostering critical thinking skills and encouraging self-directed learning practices. Additionally, the study explores the collaborative aspects of digital immersive technology, evaluating its contribution to teamwork among students. Methodology The objective was achieved by using a survey questionnaire to collect data from 304 registered students in various universities in Beijing. Data analysis was conducted by applying Mplus 7.0 software. Findings The findings revealed that the use of digital immersive technology was pivotal for achieving sustainable education both directly and indirectly to an extent. In addition, team working moderated all the respective paths except the path involving the use of digital immersive technology and critical thinking. Implications These results generated implications for teachers and policymakers to promote and facilitate the use of digital technology for teaching the English language to students, encouraging them to develop critical skills and self-directed learning strategies. The study also offered guidance and deeper understanding for researchers to address the concerns linked to the use of digital technology and sustainable education particularly in their future endeavors.

“…For example, they should be able to use digital technology to create content (e.g., text, graphics, audio, and video) that others can understand, in addition to knowing how to navigate the web. In other words, they must be able to find useful information, synthesise it, and present it in a meaningful way (Ahmed, 2022; Bates, 2015). Scheel et al.…”

The increased use of digital technology in higher education requires university students to be digitally proficient. The main objective of this study is to examine the extent to which university students' proficiency in various digital competences could be helpful towards their learning performance. This study adopted DigComp 2.2 to design a data collection instrument for an online questionnaire survey and conducted data analysis on the valid 314 responses using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS‐SEM). The findings indicate that, with the exception of safety, the digital competence areas of information and data literacy, communication and collaboration, digital content creation, and problem solving were significant to student learning performance. The findings also revealed that students' current semester had no significant moderating effect on the relationships between their proficiency in digital competence areas and learning performance, with the exception of a relationship between information and data literacy and learning performance, as well as a relationship between problem solving and learning performance, between respondents in semesters 3 and 4, and between respondents in semesters 5 and 6, respectively. The findings contribute to a better understanding of DigComp 2.2's applicability in higher education and can be used by educational institutions and educators to design learning activities and formative assessments that can help students improve their digital competence proficiency.
