This research came to examine the influence of green supply chain practices on export performance. The research population consists of the decision-makers in pharmaceutical companies in Jordan. The Jordanian pharmaceutical industry is considered one of the oldest industrial sectors in the Arab region. Accordingly, the research took a purposive sampling method to collect primary data. The questionnaire was designed electronically via Google Forms and distributed to the study sample via e-mail. Data were analyzed using covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) by version 24 of AMOS software. The study results showed that green supply chain dimensions have influenced export performance of the pharmaceutical industry in Jordan. Based on the study results, the researchers recommend managers and decision makers of the pharmaceutical organizations to create a policy outlining the organization's commitment to sustainability and outlining its aims and objectives for decreasing its environmental effect.

Business executives and scholars are increasingly interested in learning how corporate environmental responsibility (CER) and firm success are related. However, prior research in this field requires consistent and contradictory findings. This study fills this gap by suggesting and verifying a moderated mediation theory that better explains the association between CER and company performance by considering organizational slack and strategy similarity. From 2015 to 2017, 260 listed Chinese companies provided the data for this study, yielding 780 firm-year observations. According to the multivariate analysis findings, the association between CER and company effectiveness is mediated by strategic similarity. The relation between CER and strategic identity and the direct effect of CER on organizational value via strategic similarity are both moderated by organizational slack. These findings imply that CER efforts and pursuing strategic similarities are crucial for coping with stakeholder pressure and being competitive in the market. They offer useful insights for corporate managers looking to make educated decisions regarding CER.

Organizations in all sectors seek to achieve their goals and achieve competitive advantage in order to reach profits, which is the main goal of organizations. They work to determine their needs of human resources, and try to attract the largest possible number of job seekers, in order to choose the best elements among them and then plan the workforce, through which the full and good description of all the jobs to be filled and the specifications of those who occupy them are determined, and once this process is completed, the next step begins, which is to search for the most suitable people for these jobs and try to attract and attract the most qualified to work in the organization and entice them to stay in it. The aim of this paper is to identify the effect of the human resources employment strategy in achieving competitive advantage in Zain Jordan Telecom company. The descriptive and analytical approach was relied on. The study community consisted of all (1200) employees of Zain Jordan Telecom company, and a random sample of (180) employees was taken. The study concluded that there was a positive impact of the strategy of employing human resources in achieving competitive advantage, and the presence of a positive impact of the strategy of human resources in achieving the dimensions of competitive advantage (quality, cost, and innovation). The paper contributes to the development of literature related to the relationship between the strategy of employing human resources and achieving competitive advantage by providing field indicators on the nature of the between these two variables in the work environment.

This paper aims to investigate the impact of strategic intelligence on strategic flexibility, in addition, to identify the effective decision-making on Logistics Performance. Nevertheless, partial least squares (Smart -PLS- 4.0.8.7) are used to examine the hypotheses, the results indicate that strategic intelligence (organized thinking, strategic vision, foresight, partnership, and motivation) significantly affect Strategic flexibility. In addition, effective decision-making mediates the effect of strategic intelligence and strategic flexibility towards the performance of logistics companies. Moreover, the influence of effective decision-making on logistics performance is therefore clear and significant towards logistics performance. However, the study supports managers in enhancing sustainability practices in logistics organizations while also offering policy guidance to decision-makers.

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied for analysis purpose. 237 questionnaires were collected from the Saudi workers who participated in the research. The research recommended that organizations must start encouraging their managers to implement more participative leadership styles such as providing subordinates with greater opportunities to get involved in decision-making and to adapt their ideas.

Total quality management (TQM) stresses strategy development, data collecting, and communication in order to improve the firm's discipline and quality. To be more specific, overall quality management is a management method used to achieve long-term success by focusing on consumers. Therefore, the current study examines the role of total quality management (including design development, continuous improvement, and supplier involvement) in developing supply chain management (SCM) in Jordanian companies. The present research population comprises all Jordanian companies. Using a quantitative research approach, a random sample of 210 workers in Jordanian companies was chosen for the current study. The direct effects results showed that design development, continuous improvement, and supplier involvement had a significant positive effect on supply chain management (p≤0.05).

The aim of this study is to identify the benefits of digital supply chain and explore the effects of these benefits of the adoption of digital supply chain. The study was conducted using data collected by a questionnaire from a sample consisting of supply chain informant employees from companies in the food industry. Three benefits were selected for the current study, which are supply chain agility, organizational performance, and supply chain risk management. The results showed that digital supply chains have numerous benefits from which these three benefits have significant positive effects on digital supply chain adoption. Therefore, it was concluded that companies’ adoption of digital supply chains depends on a bundle of benefits not only related to the supply chain itself such as supply chain agility and risk management but also incorporates the company as a whole in terms of its organizational performance. It was recommended that companies should recognize the benefits of digital supply chains and make their decisions based on the desired outcomes of DSCs.

In literature, several core studies have addressed the effects of industries in general, and the investments in Qualified Industrial Zones (QIZ) on the environment, adding up to the pollution risks resulting from these investments. What distinguish this study is that it dealt with investments in the QIZ in Jordan and its risks on the environment beside some other sectors that participate in polluting the environment such as the production sector represented by the GDP, the population sector, and the number of vehicles used during the study period that covered 1999 to 2017. This study used the ordinary least squares (OLS) method to examine the impact of investments in QIZ on the quality of the environment and its imbalances. It’s found that there is a clear negative effect of investments in the QIZ on the environment quality in Jordan in addition to the negative impact that is not less risky on the environment created by the other sectors.

Blockchain technology is revolutionizing all sectors of industries including the healthcare one. Blockchain technology applications have been realized in healthcare as they have the potential to revolutionize healthcare systems. Integrating blockchain into the design of supply chain design leads to decentralizing the management of the supply chain, and, in turn, improves workflow efficiency and reduces the various security threats. Therefore, this study aimed at examining the impact of integrating blockchain technology, into supply chain practices, on supply chain transparency and resilience. By adopting the organizational information processing theory, this study developed a research model that explored the impact of blockchain technology features including data quality, smart contracts, and traceability on supply chain resilience and transparency. Furthermore, this study examined the effect of supply chain transparency on supply chain resilience. The data was collected, from healthcare industry personnel, in Jordan, using an electronic survey. In total, 215 participants responded to the questionnaire. RStudio- 2022.07.1 was used to conduct the data analysis. Results revealed that data quality significantly and positively affects supply chain transparency and resilience. In addition to that, results indicated that while smart contracts are positively related to supply chain transparency, they do not affect supply chain resilience. Also, traceability was found to be positively related supply chain transparency and resilience. Finally, it was found that blockchain-driven supply chain transparency positively impacts blockchain-driven supply chain resilience. The results imply that integrating blockchain technology into the supply chain can enhance both supply chain transparency and resilience, and, in turn, provide the supply chain the capability of recovering to its original state should it encounter disruptive events. The outcomes of this study can help supply chain managers and other stakeholders to develop strategies and tactics to best utilize blockchain technology to enhance blockchain-driven supply chain transparency and resilience.
