Some HEIs are beginning to show interest in franchising as an entrepreneurial endeavor worthy of standalone courses. This study examined whether standalone courses on franchising, taught at a Midwestern University in the U.S., would increase students' knowledge regarding the franchise business model, improve students’ attitudes towards franchising, improve entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and increase intention/desire to work in a franchise. T-test results from pre-post surveys show that knowledge about the franchise business model, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and desirability for a career in franchising all increased among undergraduate and MBA students enrolled in the franchising courses. Additionally, when these variables were examined for underrepresented minorities and women, groups historically marginalized in the entrepreneurship domain, results were significant.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47191,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Education","volume":"23 2","pages":"Article 101108"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143179515","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}

To address this gap, our study draws on social learning theory (SLT) and conducts two experimental studies to examine the impact of role models in the workplace. We collected data from 216 students in Eastern China to analyse the effects of positive role models, and 198 for negative role models. Our findings demonstrate that successful role models have a significant impact on employees' ECIs. Additionally, the fear of failure (FOF) plays a substantial role in diminishing employees' ECIs. We also find that negative role models significantly impact employees' ECIs and should not be ignored while considering the importance of attaining an entrepreneurial career. Our study contributes to the literature by shedding light on the importance of ERMs in shaping employees' ECIs and highlights the role of fear of failure in this process.

We propose that yoga-based practice (YBP) can curtail IPC by enhancing pro-social behaviors (PSB) and positive emotions (PE) and reducing wandering mind (WM). To test the hypotheses, two studies were conducted. In Study 1 (<em>n</em> = 113), a survey design, we performed confirmatory factor analysis that supported the measurement model. Study 2 employed a randomized controlled experimental design to investigate the impact of YBP and mediation process. The results from analysis of variance (ANOVA) demonstrated that, compared to the control group (<em>n</em> = 56), YBP reduced IPC and WM while enhancing PE and PSB in the experiment group (<em>n</em> = 57). Path analysis indicated that only WM mediated the impact of YBP on PSB and the impact of YBP on IPC was mediated by PSB.

This study aims to theoretically position the course, develop a method for evaluating entrepreneurship education, and conduct structural evaluation of the course using this method. Partial least squares/projection of latent structures (PLS) regression was used to determine the relationships between content and methods, student attributes, and essential abilities, as well as between these variables and the developed entrepreneurial/entrepreneurship competencies. Three pairs of latent factors were identified: conducting market research on the external environment – coping with uncertainty and developing a vision and strategy; receiving feedback on new draft business proposals – choosing social business; and experience in using financial statements and indicators – financial thinking. The course developed entrepreneurial/entrepreneurship competencies such as learning skills and attitudes, interpersonal skills, financial and economic literacy, marketing skills, opportunity skills, and strategic skills in engineering undergraduates.

Using PLS-SEM, the proposed model was evaluated based on data collected through an online survey from 378 university students. The results showed that while perceived threats have a significant negative impact on Generative AI use, knowledge acquisition and knowledge application emerge as critical drivers for its effective use. Interestingly, using Generative AI was found to promote social sustainability significantly and positively.

Addressing these gaps, this study aims to explore responsible management education through student perspectives from a Southeast Asian country. Utilizing online platforms and university channels, we recruited 542 students, with 492 valid responses analyzed. Analyzing the students' responses using keyword co-occurrence mapping, we identified a set of thematic clusters that reflect key aspects of responsible management: <em>society</em>, <em>environment</em>, <em>company</em>, <em>business and responsibility</em>, <em>business decision</em>, <em>thing</em>, and <em>goal</em>. These clusters were thematically grouped into a modified triple bottom line for responsible management, comprising <em>organizational</em> (which includes economic and ethical considerations), <em>social</em>, and <em>environmental</em> components. This grouping underscores the importance of economic considerations, ethical decision-making, environmental stewardship, and societal wellbeing in management practice. Building on these findings, we incorporate <em>management</em>—the final component emerging from the clusters—to propose a novel model that merges the triple bottom line with locus of control, forming concentric circles that offer a more robust lens for managerial decision-making. This model highlights the varying levels of control and influence managers have over organizational, social, and environmental aspects, providing a new approach for integrating responsible management into organizational leadership taught through responsible management education.
