The current study aimed to highlight the factors that may influence teachers' psychological resistance to digital technologies in entrepreneurship and business schools. Theoretically grounded in the diffusion of innovations theory and the theory of planned behavior, the current research investigates teachers' psychological resistance to digital innovation, school culture and climate, and moderation of teacher attitudes toward educational technologies. A cross-sectional field survey of 600 business and entrepreneurship school teachers was conducted in Jordan. In this study, partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to assess the variables' "direct and moderating impacts" using the Smart PLS software 3.0. According to the results, school culture and school innovation climate had a considerable positive impact on teachers' resistance to digital innovation. Additionally, teachers' attitudes toward educational technologies moderated the relationship between study constructs in the framework. The study is a significant advance to the literature related to entrepreneurship, business education, and digital innovation. Several key policy insights and recommendations for further research, as well as theoretical and practical implications, are suggested.
当前的研究旨在突出那些可能影响创业和商学院教师对数字技术的心理抗拒的因素。本研究以创新扩散理论和计划行为理论为理论基础,调查教师对数字创新的心理抗拒、学校文化与氛围,以及教师对教育技术态度的调节作用。在约旦对600名商业和创业学校的教师进行了横断面实地调查。在本研究中,使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM),借助Smart PLS软件3.0评估变量的“直接和调节影响”。根据研究结果,学校文化和学校创新氛围对教师对数字创新的抗拒有相当大的积极影响。此外,教师对教育技术的态度调节了框架中研究构念之间的关系。该研究是对创业、商业教育和数字创新相关文献的重大推进。文中提出了一些关键的政策见解、进一步研究的建议以及理论和实践意义。
