The study explores the perspectives of management educators in utilizing Generative AI tools, as they face a dilemma in balancing technology usage while maintaining relevance and fostering authentic learning. This article utilizes the Social Construction of Technology (SCOT) theory, which emphasizes the influence of human interventions and discourses on Generative AI technology. The study utilized a mixed-methods approach to evaluate the impact of Generative AI on teaching-learning compared to the traditional method. Initially, it analyzed news stories and found the frequently used words like management education, ChatGPT, AI, ethics, B-schools etc. in form of word cloud. Further, sentiment analysis of tweets from the ‘X’ platform was conducted to understand the ongoing discussions. The analysis revealed positive and negative emotions which were associated with specific terms related to management education. Thereafter, the qualitative insights gathered from management education experts helped in identifying various focal themes like assessment, curriculum, pedagogy, and regulation considering early adopters' perspectives. The study shed light on how Generative AI tools can be judiciously embraced through research and application and how they can reshape the management education landscape. It provides evidence-based guidance for educators and researchers to effectively utilize this technology while addressing administrative and ethical issues.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47191,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141566465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, our study examines the moderating role of technostress in the relationship between digital entrepreneurial self-efficacy, digital entrepreneurial intention, and digital entrepreneurial behaviors. Drawing on the sample of 1326 MBA Vietnamese students who used ChatGPT for their entrepreneurial activities, with the stratified random sampling approach, structural equation modeling is employed to test formulated hypotheses. This study reveals that ChatGPT adoption in entrepreneurship positively influences opportunity recognition, digital entrepreneurial knowledge, and digital entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Digital entrepreneurial self-efficacy was also found to significantly mediate the impacts of AI-related stimuli on digital entrepreneurial intention and behavior. Furthermore, technostress negatively moderates the relationship between digital entrepreneurial self-efficacy and intention.

We collected data from 106 engineering students attending an entrepreneurial program in 2019/20 with an exposition to a prevalent male entrepreneurial role model, and from 88 engineering students attending the same program in 2022/23 where the exposition was a prevalent female entrepreneurial role model.

Results reveal a gender effect in EI, as female role models boost female students’ confidence and improve their intention to start entrepreneurial activities.

To test the hypotheses, we took a two-stage survey on-site and online, respectively, of a sample of employees working in startups in three entrepreneurial incubators in China. Taking hierarchical multiple regression and bootstrapping analyses, the empirical results of the final 274 sample show that entrepreneurship education can significantly improve an employee’s intention to remain at a startup and that this is mediated by protean career attitudes. Meanwhile, socialization tactics can strengthen the mediating effects of protean career attitudes.
