The aim of the research is to test the impact of big data on the quality of decision making. The necessary data was collected from telecommunication companies operating in Jordan. Three companies provide telecommunications services in Jordan: Zain, Umniah, and Orange. Non-probability purposive sampling was used. Hence, the study instrument was distributed to managers at the senior and middle levels of these companies. The structured equation modeling (SEM) technique was employed to test the study hypotheses. The results confirmed that big data impacts decision quality. Besides, it was determined that the highest impact was on velocity. The researchers suggest that Jordanian telecom companies invest in information technology that allows them to provide data with accuracy, reliability, and high quality, as well as improve the qualifications of their employees.

The study aimed at investigating the effect of e-HRM use on employee flexibility based on Davis’ technology acceptance model. Seven hypotheses were proposed. Two external factors (HR department role and organizational readiness) were linked to e-HRM perceived usefulness and e-HRM ease of use. These two factors linked to the behavioral intention to use e-HRM, which in turn connected to employee flexibility. All these propositions were accepted through analyzing data collected via a questionnaire from a sample consisting of managers and employees of human resource departments in Islamic banks in Jordan. The study contributes to the literature through clarifying and extending the technology acceptance model of e-HRM, as identifying two of the external factors that significantly affect e-HRM perceived usefulness and e-HRM ease of use, as well as, and spreading the model to include employee flexibility.

Today, the use of technology has made education more enjoyable. Vocabulary retention becomes a challenging task for both teachers and learners. They may learn the vocabulary but may not retain it. Yet, the use of web-based games may assist them in maintaining words known for short and long-term retention. The current study was conducted to identify students' abilities in retaining words learned after they were assigned to play a web-based vocabulary learning game, namely OnVac. Both short and long-term retention were measured after they were required to play the game as a treatment. Also, the study investigated students' perceptions about the system operation of OnVac. The use of quantitative research design, particularly quasi-experimental research and survey showed gains in vocabulary retention among students for short and long-term retention. The study also found that OnVac can support vocabulary learning among students in their learning of the specialized vocabulary. In terms of the system operation, the participants reported that the tool could assist them in learning engineering and technology words as it was convenient to use. The study provided implications to the teaching pedagogy in that teachers need to be wise and analytical in developing the online game to assist learners in learning English specialized vocabulary.

The aim of this study is to determine stakeholder acceptance of the blockchain and to investigate a suitable model using a Technology Acceptance Model with specific reference to corporate governance through cryptography in solving decades of financial record-keeping problems. Stakeholders in corporate governance, namely customers, creditors, suppliers, communities, employees, owners, investors, trade unions and social activists, can benefit in different ways. Investors can benefit from buying equity at a lower price and selling it on a market with greater liquidity, but they will find it difficult to disguise their trades. This study argues that almost all aspects of corporate governance can be improved through the application of this technology, which results in greater transparency, increases liquidity, and lowers costs. Corporate governance will also be better because blockchain technology uses the concept of a distributed ledger which allows data to be distributed at every connected point in an efficient and accountable manner, so that all parties in the blockchain can exchange data in real time.

The major purpose of this research is studying the impact of artificial intelligence, big data analytics and business intelligence on transforming capability and digital transformation in Jordanian telecommunication firms. 303 samples were gathered after the sample checking process was completed. The PLS program was utilized in the research study to process all the collected data. The findings of the research demonstrate a set of relationships and linkages that can enhance transforming capability and digital transformation. Finally, this study found that artificial intelligence, big data analytics and business intelligence have good effects on developing and enhancing the transforming capability and digital transformation.

Virtual reality (VR) is a new technology that has applications in a variety of sectors, including medical, education, gaming, psychology, and sociology. The application of VR in education is intriguing and warrants further examination, but research on the subject is currently restricted. VR can benefit education by allowing students to participate in memorable and engaging experiences that they would not otherwise be able to have. Traditional approaches are still used to teach students, which is an essential element of the curriculum for those who want to conceive problem-solving. As a result, there is a scarcity of study on VR deployment. In this paper, we investigated the factors affecting the adoption of VR in higher educational institutes. To this end, we extended the technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with four additional factors and formulated a set of hypotheses. The hypotheses are then evaluated using a dataset collected from 503 Jordanian students. The result shows that the factors perceived facilitating condition, perceived effort expectancy, and perceived compatibility significantly affected the intention to use VR systems and tools for educational purposes. We believe that this study will help decision makers to build sustainable learning and educational systems in Jordan universities.

Advancement of banking and financial investment has led to the rapid expansion of services automation. The consistent increase of Artificial Intelligence (AI) usage in investment management implies the impending popularity of technology-based service. This study examined influencer endorsement and perceived security benefits as moderators to the relationship between perceived risk and financial AI services. Questionnaires were disseminated to 300 respondents who were customers with experience of using financial AI services in Jordan, and they were chosen through purposive sampling method. Structural equation modeling run using Smart-partial least squares (PLS 3.3.6) was employed in analyzing the data obtained from 220 completed questionnaires. The results show that perceived risk negatively affects financial AI services, while influencer endorsement and perceived security moderate the relationship between perceived risk and financial AI services. This study provides insight to companies on how to reduce perceived risk to encourage people to use business intelligence applications, as in the use of financial technology services.

The objective of the study was to determine the impact of electronic human resources practices on Employees Satisfaction in private hospitals in Jordan.

Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS and AMOS software. The population of the study involves all the physicians working in private hospitals in Jordan. Data were primarily gathered through self-reported questionnaires created by Google Forms which were distributed to a purposive sample of physicians via email. To achieve the objectives of the study and test hypotheses, the researcher used SPSS and path analysis. The study results showed that there is a statistically significant impact of electronic human resources practices on employee’s satisfaction. Considering study finding, the researcher recommends decision makers to provide the largest possible investment in modern technology, and to subscribe to databases that qualify doctors to practice electronic human resource management dimensions that were mentioned in the study and ensuring doctors’ job stability.

Social media is becoming more and more popular as a medium for marketing and promotion. Banks, for example, have spent a substantial amount of time, efforts, as well as finances marketing their products. Nevertheless, figuring out how businesses may use social media marketing to reach customers and encourage them to remain loyal is really a challenge. Therefore, the study purpose is to identify as well as test the key sections of social media marketing that can anticipate improvements in customer experience. The conceptual framework was proposed using seven variables (performance expectancy, hedonic incentive, and habit) from the expanding Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2), as well as interactivity, information quality, perceived relevance and purchase intention. The research data was gathered through 437 questionnaires from banks customers. The validity of the existing model and the strong impact of performance expectancy, hedonic motivation, interactivity, information quality, and perceived relevance on customer experience were significantly supported by the primary results of structural equation modeling (SEM). This research should give marketers with a lot of theoretically and practically recommendations on how to organize and conduct social media marketing effectively.
