Beyond knowledge factories and ivory towers. Exploring the transformative university in the digital and sustainable age
Digital transformation has played a key role in dismantling the public and social value of universities. By exploiting network and platform effects, neoliberal universities have implemented lucrative digital business models. Similarly, the classical/Humboldtian university, based on the unity of science and teaching, must evolve to meet new digital and socioenvironmental needs. Drawing on the new political economy of higher education, this article…
Twin transitions or a meeting of strangers? Unravelling the effects of AI and innovations on economic, social and environmental MSMEs sustainability
Sudden e‐learning: Exploring the role of user intention, enjoyment, and habit on university students' well‐being
Suddenly, adjusting to a new way of learning is a major challenge for university students. The objective of this article was to study university student determinants of the well‐being in the context of the sudden transition towards e‐learning imposed by the COVID‐19 lockdown. Based on the antecedents linked to the structure of e‐learning and its influence on self‐management and ease of use, as well as using the mediating role of user intention, p…
Digital transition, data-and-tasks crowd-based economy, and the shared social progress: Unveiling a new political economy from a European perspective
The current unequal distribution of the benefits of digital transition and data-and-tasks crowd-based economy is directly linked to an incomplete interpretation of the behaviour of economic agents and their effects. This article proposes a new economic vision of digitalisation based on overcoming the postulates of neoclassical (automation-oriented and implemented mainly in the US) and autocratic (control-oriented and implemented mainly in China) …
Internet use at work and income inequality in Ecuador
Homo digitalis: Narrative for a new political economy of digital transformation and transition
The second digital wave has positioned artificial intelligence and digital platforms as new general purpose technologies, has driven the emergence of new value sources: prediction and circulation values, and has created a new explanatory phase into the relationship between digitalisation and economy: the digital transition. The governance of the digital transition, fully inserted in globalised capitalism, are not being able to reduce polarisation…
Motivations of collaborative obtainers and providers in Europe
The article analyses the motivations for participating in collaborative digital platforms in Europe. From the duality of roles approach, the motivations of European obtainers and providers are studied, with special emphasis on the role played by occupational status. For that purpose, a pan-European sample of 14,050 citizens from 28 countries is investigated and a quantitative data analysis is applied through a system of structural equations. Rega…
Using Digital Platforms to Promote Blood Donation: Motivational and Preliminary Evidence from Latin America and Spain
The lack of blood donors is a global problem that prevents the demand for blood prompted by an ageing population and increased life expectancy from being met. The aim of this study was to conduct an initial exploration of the reasons for using digital platforms in blood donation. Using a Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) framework, microdata for 389 participants from Latin American countries and Spain, and Partial Least Square-Structural Equation…
Do People Trust in Robot-Assisted Surgery? Evidence from Europe
(1) Background: The goal of the paper was to establish the factors that influence how people feel about having a medical operation performed on them by a robot. (2) Methods: Data were obtained from a 2017 Flash Eurobarometer (number 460) of the European Commission with 27,901 citizens aged 15 years and over in the 28 countries of the European Union. Logistic regression (odds ratios, OR) to model the predictors of trust in robot-assisted surgery w…
Socio-technical e-learning innovation and ways of learning in the ICT-space-time continuum to improve the employability skills of adults
Automation technologies: Long-term effects for Spanish industrial firms
Empoderamiento mediático mediante e-learning. Diseño y validación de una escala
The current ease of online education allows students to acquire the professional and personal competencies demanded for the XXI century. In this article we study the media empowerment of students, as citizens, using multiple means of communication. We have established the first scale for the measurement of such empowerment, analyzing the exercise of active citizenship and the use of various media, as skills acquired through e-learning. The study …
Information and communication technology, co-innovation, and perceived productivity in tourism small and medium enterprises: An exploratory analysis
With the aim of providing new evidence and a practical instrument to measure co-innovative sources of productivity in tourism small and medium enterprises (SMEs), this article presents a newly designed questionnaire that has been validated by exploratory factor analysis. The empirical study was conducted on a representative sample of 500 tourism SMEs in Catalonia (a region in north-eastern Spain). Three factors emerged from the analysis: (1) Inte…
Employment Flexibility and Job Security as Determinants of Job Satisfaction: The Case of Polish Knowledge Workers
Economic Crisis and Job Quality in Spain: A Multi-dimensional and Micro-data Empirical Approach
Determinantes multidimensionales en la calidad percibida del empleo. Evidencia empírica para España
A través de una muestra representativa para 8.755 empleados asalariados en 2010, y utilizando un sistema de ecuaciones estructurales, este artículo analiza empíricamente los determinantes multidimensionales (efectos directos) de la calidad percibida del empleo en España. La investigación concluye que la calidad del empleo combina un amplio conjunto de dimensiones explicativas que están vinculadas con el propio puesto de trabajo (calidad intrínsec…
Improving Integrated Care: Modelling the performance of an online community of practice
The research suggests that the efficiency of medical practice is explained by the intensity of Web 2.0 platform use for communication between primary and specialist care professionals. Public policies promoting the use of information and communication technologies in communities of practice should go beyond the technological dimension and consider other professional, organisational and social determinants
Alfabetización mediática y co-innovación en la microempresa: Primeras evidencias para España
The inexorable progress of ICT has brought about radical changes in the social and business world. In this context, new patterns of communication and participation, especially since the advent of Web 2.0, and the widespread use of smartphones by the whole population, are particularly striking. In this situation, it is essential to establish what kind of personal skills related to the efficient use of media can be useful from a business perspectiv…
