Nascent entrepreneurs are those peoples who are in the early stage of starting a new business. In this study, the researchers attempted to determine what factors trigger a nascent entrepreneur to adopt digital banking technologies (applications and services)? To answer this question, this research tested the direct relationship between perceived security factors, the internet experience factors, and marketing exposure factors with nascent entrepreneur's adoption of digital banking technology. Moreover, we tested the indirect effects of these three factors with entrepreneur's adoption of digital banking technology through perceived usefulness. The study hypotheses were tested using a sample of 377 Bangladeshi nascent entrepreneurs who had participated in an entrepreneurship program and are in the process of starting a business. The findings revealed that nascent entrepreneurs with marketing exposure and perceived security are more likely to employ digital banking technology; perceived usefulness mediates the relationship between internet experience, and marketing exposure with adoption of digital banking technology. ©The authors ©Inderscience.

This study investigates the interplay of attitude, learning environment, motivation, technological adaptability, and self-confidence with English language proficiency, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) tools within the context of the Business Education 4.0 era among university students in Bangladesh. Methodologically, a quantitative approach was employed, embracing positivism. A stratified random sampling technique was applied, yielding a sample of 433 university students from five universities who are currently studying at the Department of Business Administration in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Structured surveys were used to collect data from the respondents. To analyze the data, SPSS V.25 was used. Findings reveal a significant positive association between a learning environment and English language proficiency. Technological adaptability, facilitated by AI, positively influences language skills. Self-confidence plays a crucial role, aligning with Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory. © IGI Global

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of personal pro-social identity and organisational pro-social identity on sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial intention through the use of identity theory. Sustainability-oriented entrepreneurs are those who are able to identify and seize opportunities at the root of environmental dilemma. In order to identify who has more intention of becoming sustainability-oriented entrepreneurs, we investigated the direct effect of individuals’ pro-social identity (personal pro-social identity and organisational pro-social identity) regarding their intention of becoming sustainability-oriented entrepreneurs. Furthermore, we tested the indirect effect of individual identities on sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial intentions by mediating the role of public service motivation. Survey data from 235 Bangladeshi students, who received entrepreneurship training, indicates that individuals with a personal pro-social identity are more likely to translate positive desirability into sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, public service motivation is underlying mechanism for explaining the association between personal pro-social identity and sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial intentions. © 2023 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
