Main Article Content
บทคัดย่อ
This study aims to examine the mechanisms influencing digital education innovation in higher education institutions within the regional innovation system of Nanjing, China. It focuses on identifying key factors and analyzing the relationships among motivation mechanisms, operational logic, resource matching, and innovation outcomes based on the Triple Helix and Regional Innovation System perspectives.
A quantitative research design was employed. Data were collected from administrators and faculty members involved in digital education initiatives, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).
The results indicate that both motivation mechanisms and operational logic have significant positive effects on digital education innovation, with operational logic exerting the strongest influence. Additionally, resource matching fully mediates the relationship between digital education development and innovation outcomes, suggesting that digital initiatives contribute to innovation only when strategic objectives, human capital, financial resources, and technological infrastructure are properly aligned. The model explains 38.2% of the variance in innovation outcomes.
The findings highlight the importance of effective governance, collaborative processes, and strategic resource alignment in promoting sustainable digital education innovation in regional higher education institutions.
