Gender influence on business students’ expectations for sustainability transformations in higher education
Purpose This study aims to examine how male and female students’ sustainability expectations of Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) differ in various cultural contexts. Design/methodology/approach Based on a sample of 239 business students from the USA and Germany, a mixed qualitative-quantitative research design is employed combining content analysis and Kano analysis to examine gender- and country-different students’ sustainability expectati…
Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis ( fsQCA ) to Examine Causal Complexity in Business Students' Sustainability Behavioural Intentions
Drawing from the Theory of Planned Behaviour and a review of empirical research on enablers and barriers for student sustainable behaviour, we explore business students' future‐oriented sustainability expectations and intentions to engage in sustainability behaviour at their Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Using a process of configurational theorising with fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) and data from 239 business student…
Segmenting and engaging business students for sustainable development
Effectively engaging business students in sustainability transformations requires understanding their sustainability expectations. This study aims to identify business student segments from various cultural contexts based on their sustainability engagement intentions, map their sustainability expectations, and develop engagement strategies based on expectation management. Data were collected from 239 business students in the USA and Germany using…
Involvement matters
The value–action gap (VAG) refers to the disparity between individuals’ expressed beliefs and their actual behaviors in sustainability contexts. While previous research has focused on past or present evaluations of sustainable consumer behavior, this study aims to investigate the VAG among business students regarding their future-oriented sustainability expectations from Higher Education Institutions. Specifically, this study examines (1) the VAG…
Gen Z consumers’ sustainable consumption behaviors
Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore Generation Z (Gen Z) consumers’ sustainable consumption behaviors at a university campus by examining various antecedent and moderating influencers of their sustainable consumption behaviors. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative research methodology is used in this study. A structured questionnaire was administered ( n = 279) to young college students (Gen Z consumers in the context of this st…
Ethical Evaluations of Business Students in an Emerging Market
Heterogeneity in Classes
Teachers, from primary schools to college, experience challenges regarding bothincreased class sizes and a greater diversity of students having a broad spectrumof abilities, interests, needs, and goals. The aim of this paper is to investigate theeffect of cooperative learning through Cooperative Problem-Solving (CPS) activitieson homogenous and heterogeneous grouping in an engineering course. As amixed method design, the study utilized both quant…
Seven Principles of Instructional Content Design for a Remote Laboratory
This paper discusses the results of a study of the requirements for developing a remote radio frequency (RF) laboratory for electrical engineering students. It investigates students' preferred usage of the technical content of a state-of-the-art RF laboratory. The results of this study are compared to previous findings, which dealt with other user groups (technicians in technical colleges and engineers in the RF domain). Based on the results of t…
Requirements for Remote RF Laboratory Applications
This paper discusses the results of a study of the requirements for developing a remote RF laboratory. This study draws on the perspectives of educators in university electrical engineering departments and in technical colleges, on the teaching of the radio frequency (RF) domain. The study investigates how these educators would like the technical content of a state of the art RF laboratory to be designed. As far as the authors know, no publicatio…
