respondents in a cross-sectional study. Statistical analysis has
been done through SMART PLS 3.0 software. In the analysis part,
PLS algorithms, bootstrapping, blindfolding, Importance performance
matrix, FIMIX, Multi-Group analysis have been undertaken. A
reflective model has been developed. The path coefficient value
and empirical t-values of all direct relationships of variables above
0.2 and 1.96 respectively and substantiate the hypothesis. The
results have shown that brand commitment is partially mediates
the association between brand love and brand trust and also
between brand trust and brand loyalty. The four-segment solutionās
FIMIX-PLS path coefficient shows that brand love and
brand trust are more relevant in segment 3, followed by segment
2, segment 1 and segment 4, respectively. Companies should
focus on improving their brand trust displayed by consumers followed
by brand commitment which strengthens brand loyalty in

Do Academic Stress, Burnout and Problematic Internet Use Affect Perceived Learning? Evidence from India during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Distress in online classrooms and problematic internet use are two issues that have caused student burnout and affect perceived learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the high pressure placed on students throughout COVID-19, it is critical to understand the influence of problematic internet use (PIU), psychological stress, academic burnout, and resilience on perceived learning (PL). A cross-sectional analytical study was chosen to collect data from 350 learners pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate business/management degrees in Karnataka, India. The data were analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) and Smart PLS 3. The present study reports a non-significant negative total effect of stress on PL, while there was a significant positive direct effect but a significant indirect negative effect of multiple mediators, namely PIU, burnout, and resilience. In the relationship between stress and PL, burnout has full competitive mediation, and the suppressive effect of burnout and resilience wipes out the beneficial benefit of stress on PL, resulting in reduced PL. As a societal problem, a change in educational policy and prevention strategies for students and organizations (reducing the number of courses, number of exams, and handling parental expectations) would be effective. Emotional intelligence to improve resilience, which assists students in sailing through a current challenging situation and using IT for reducing negative and unexpected emotional outbursts should be encouraged
