This study aims to explore the relationship between loneliness and addiction to smartphones, specifically examining whether gender and place of residence have a moderating effect on this association.

This study conducted a comprehensive investigation to assess the correlation between loneliness and smartphone addiction, focusing on the potential moderating roles of gender and place of residence.

It was found that loneliness significantly contributes to the development of smartphone addiction across various demographics, irrespective of gender and place of residence. The initial hypothesis that gender and place of residence would moderate the relationship between loneliness and smartphone addiction was not supported.

This study advances our understanding of the mechanisms through which loneliness can lead to smartphone addiction, highlighting its role in potentially exacerbating mental health issues like anxiety and depression. The findings underscore the universal impact of loneliness on smartphone addiction, contributing to the broader discourse on mental health and technology use.

This paper aims to examine the mediating role of employees’ intrinsic motivation in the relationship between perceived ambidextrous organizational culture and innovative behaviour among information technology (IT) sector employees.

The study used a quantitative research methodology, using a questionnaire to gather data from a sample of 510 employees across a range of IT organizations and various roles in the Indian IT sector. Smart partial least squares structural equation modeling Version 3 was used for the analysis and interpretation of the study.

The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between perceived ambidextrous organizational culture and employees’ innovative behaviour in the Indian IT sector. Moreover, the study established that employees’ intrinsic motivation played a significant mediating role in this relationship.

This study stands out for its exploration into how employees’ intrinsic motivation mediates the relationship between ambidextrous organizational culture and innovative behaviour. It offers valuable insights for enhancing organizational creativity by understanding the critical role of intrinsic motivation.

A process of learning that goes beyond merely acquiring knowledge and supports significant ways in which learners intentionally create meaning in their lives is known as transformational learning. This study aims to contribute to the relevant body of knowledge by conducting a bibliometric analysis of transformational learning studies. The study analyzed the literature by covering established and new sectors and suggesting a greater focus on the thriving education sectors.

The research used Biblioshiny, a Web interface, to conduct a bibliometric analysis of transformational learning and related studies included in the Scopus database. The results were interpreted under sections like data set, sources, authors, documents, clustering, conceptual structure, intellectual structure and social structure.

The results indicated decent literature in the chosen field of research. The USA was the leading contributor to scientific production and research. Workplace learning and spirituality were the subjects that received the most significant attention and were at the center of the discipline. The primary topic of transformational learning denoted a crucial but underdeveloped sector. Issues like emotional intelligence, change management, transformational learning, etc. were developed very well with inside associations but feeble exterior associations and were of less importance.

This study maps the structure of transformational learning research and defines the important contributors in terms of authors, journals and organizations that may be used as input for future research. The report also proposes potential future research directions in the knowledge domain. The report also suggests the consequences and potential future research fields. The study outputs will aid researchers in developing evidence-based programs focusing on the learning communities’ benefit.
