In this view, the present paper seeks to advance an EM, operationalized as providing students with the opportunities for value-creation, and presents a rationale on how and why integrating an EM can be incorporated within sport management education. Building off Larsen's (2022) typology of EM, we present aspects of EM and how these can influence instructional strategies in sport management. Additionally, we offer potential practical applications for sport management programs and how this can be incorporated in a distributed approach, in which areas of added value could result from the inclusion of EM education.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"37 ","pages":"Article 100577"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145009954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address gaps in existing research, this study conducted an 18-week quasi-experimental investigation involving 120 undergraduate and postgraduate learners enrolled in event organizing programs in Taiwan. The learners, representing diverse cultural backgrounds, were divided into two groups: an experimental group, which engaged in AR-based event simulations, and a control group, which received traditional lecture-based instruction. Results demonstrated that AR-enhanced training significantly improved learners’ engagement, practical competencies, and ability to design immersive audience experiences. These findings highlight the potential of AR to transform event organizing education by bridging theory with practice, fostering deeper learner engagement, and preparing future event professionals with the skills necessary for real-world applications. This study offers practical implications for event educators, organizers, and industry stakeholders, advocating for the integration of AR-driven experiential learning into event organizing curricula to align with evolving industry demands.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"37 ","pages":"Article 100571"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144841128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aims to explain the effect of digital leisure use through social media engagement on students' psychological well-being. The theoretical model of the study was developed using Self-Determination Theory and the Uses & Gratifications framework. A survey was conducted among recreation management students at three different universities based on quantitative research methods. Structural equation modelling was applied to the 387 useable survey data obtained. According to the results, digital leisure use has a positive effect on psychological well-being. Social media engagement has a differential mediating effect in this relationship: affective social media engagement was found to mediate negatively, whereas cognitive and behavioural social media engagement mediated positively. Thus, although digital leisure use basically enhances psychological well-being, the role of social media engagement in this relationship varies. The results of this study provide important theoretical and practical insights and recommendations for tourism education. It also provides a better context for the factors that influence psychological well-being in the digital leisure space and how social media engagement can influence students.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51666,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hospitality Leisure Sport & Tourism Education","volume":"37 ","pages":"Article 100570"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144686246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
