Purpose: Considering entrepreneurship education (EE) theory as a base, this paper aims to examine the impact of EE upon building entrepreneurial intentions. In addition, it investigates the impact of student's age, gender and degree or course background in developing students entrepreneurial intentions. Design/methodology/approach: A sample of 309…

This study focused on the unseen, thus, unobservable rationalization process in the pre-fraud state. The purpose of this study was to examine whether a relationship was present between one's ability to rationalize and their traits of sympathy towards others with their intention to commit fraud. Fraud is costly and does not discriminate. The Fraud…

Intention to act and environmental issues knowledge has been assumed as the two variables which affect people's environmental behavior. This study aimed at determining the correlations between variables (i.e. intention to act, environmental issues knowledge, and environmental behavior) on biology teachers in State High Schools of Pandeglang…

Employee turnover is a challenge for all organizations, including higher education. Public universities are losing staff members who are critical to the successful operation of these universities. High employee turnover translates to costly operations. Past research has shown that leaders and their leadership styles have been determined to be one…

Purpose: Entrepreneurship requires the attitudes and capabilities needed to begin new and innovative projects able to create positive impacts in the economy of a society. Given that it forms the basis from which new companies, products and innovations emerge, it is a very relevant term in business. With the aim of strengthening these capabilities,…

Objectives: We explore the influence of initial enrollment at a community college on the attainment of a bachelor's degree. Methods: Using the Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS: 12/17) and propensity score analysis, we compare baccalaureate degree outcomes of recent high school graduates who reported their intention to earn…

Identifying correlates of aggressive behavior in children might help to find potential candidates for interventions in aggression reduction. While some previous studies found that children's Theory of Mind (ToM) and inhibitory control (IC) correlate with aggressive behavior, others did not confirm this relation. One explanation for these mixed…

Background: Research on teaching and learning for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects has increased, and has demonstrated the importance of integrating interdisciplinary knowledge and skills. Our research model was based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the data were analyzed by partial least…

Student dropout is a multi-causal process. Different theoretical models on student dropout consider dysfunctional study behavior (e.g., academic procrastination) and low study satisfaction as possible determinants of students' dropout intentions during their university studies. However, these models neglect contemporary conceptualizations that…

Mobile technology is regarded as a helpful tool facilitating language learning. However, the success of mobile technology largely depends on learners' acceptance. This study explored the factors that may affect students' intention formation regarding mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) in the context of higher education through the lens of…

This study developed and empirically tested a theoretical model to predict the factors affecting students' acceptance and behavioral intentions toward using mobile learning (m-learning) in United Arab Emirates (UAE). The present study explored the behavioral intention to use m-learning from the angle of consumers by applying the extended Unified…

Evidence-based teaching practices (EBPs) foster college science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students' engagement and performance, yet our knowledge of what contributes to the effectiveness of these practices is less established. We propose a framework that links four social-cognitive variables--students' trust in their…

The three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality content is widely used for educational and training purposes, and there has been interest in how virtual reality environments influence users' learning effect. Analyzing survey data collected from a game play, this study examined how presence in a 3D virtual reality car driving simulation game impacts…

Some researchers have reported that people with higher levels of proactive disposition are more conscientious (Major et al., 2006) and that proactive personality is related to career self-efficacy in career exploration (Qu et al., 2015; Shang & Gan, 2009). In other words, undergraduates who have a stronger sense of responsibility might…

This mixed model study analyzed the relationship between school culture and teachers' intentions to remain in their current position, teacher job satisfaction, and teacher absenteeism. Among PreK-12th educators, significant negative relationships existed between four subcomponents of school culture that are collaborative leadership, teacher…
