This study aims to explore the significant variables affecting online knowledge-sharing and the hierarchical structure, from the perspective of online learners. To comprehensively discuss the relationship between these variables, binary logit regression and interpretative structural model (ISM) was used. Based on literature analysis, the data of…

Researchers have increasingly engaged in academic communities on social networking sites (SNSs). This study seeks to examine the impact of academic community engagement on Facebook (ACEF) on researchers' creative behaviour and work performance, with the mediating mechanisms of relationship quality and knowledge sharing. Data were obtained from 213…

This study investigates the effects of online instructors' use of initiation and maintenance rapport-building strategies (RBS) on Chinese EFL learners' CALL motivation and cognitive load management. Mixed methods research was used to concurrently triangulate different strands of data on the effects of RBS on 86 randomly sampled EFL learners. The…

Researchers have shown that knowledge acquisition and sharing have considerably influenced the acceptance of various technologies. However, there is a scarce of knowledge on how these two factors affect the acceptance of Mobile learning (M-learning). Thus, this research is believed to be one of the few attempts that aims to understand the impact…

Given the importance of digital communication during the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for advancing academic goals through online social capital is more tangibly felt. This study examined the hypothesis that online social capital can improve the students' academic performance, as one of the main academic goals, through the mediation of knowledge…

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic brought changes and efforts for adaption to the new environment in every industry, including higher education.

Current research aimed to investigate the structural relationships among knowledge sharing behavior, adoption of Facebook and virtual loneliness behavior. The dataset of this study were gathered from Knowledge Sharing Behaviors (KSB) Scale, Facebook Adoption (FA) Scale and Virtual Environment Loneliness (VEL) Scale. Structural equation modelling…

Studying the factors that affect the e-learning adoption is not a new research topic. Nevertheless, exploring the effect of knowledge acquisition and knowledge sharing on e-learning adoption is a relatively new research trend that has not been featured in the existing literature. Thus, this study was conducted to build a new model by extending the…

The use of an effective supervision mechanism is crucial between a student and supervisor. The essential knowledge shared and transferred between these two parties must be observed and understood very well in order to ensure that students are produced at good level of quality for future professional knowledge workers. The aim of this study was to…
