The study uses a quantitative method, with a path analysis model, with a total of 40 samples. Research respondents are users of loading and unloading services. The findings, in general, indicate that there is an effect of port service performance, occupational safety, and health and work security on loading and unloading productivity which in turn has an impact on increasing user satisfaction of Yos Sudarso Tual Port services. The key finding is that new investments are needed which will require the ongoing capacity building and development of several port authorities who are civil servants who will oversee port planning and operations and regulate access to key port services and facilities.

The importance of E-procurement is significant for the development of nations. Findings of previous studies in terms of predictors and consequences of using E-procurement are inconsistent and most prior literature were conducted in developed countries. The purpose of this study is to examine the predictors and consequences of using e-procurement. Based on resource-based view (RBV) and Technology-Organization-Environment framework (TOE), the study proposed that technological (relative advantage, compatibility, and complexity) and organizational factor (top management support, organizational readiness, and Information System (IS) committee) will have significant effect on e-procurement which in turn expected to affect the firm performance. Competitive pressure is proposed as a moderating variable between technological and organizational factors, and e-procurement. The population of the study includes large companies in Jordan. Purposive sampling was deployed to collect the data using a questionnaire. The findings were derived from 221 responses. Data analysis was conducted using Smart PLS. The findings showed that technological (relative advantage, compatibility, and complexity) and organizational (top management support and organizational readiness) have significant effect on e-procurement which in turn affected firm performance. Competitive pressure did not moderate the effect of technological and organizational factors on e-procurement. The findings help the policy makers in Jordan to increase the usage of e-procumbent and firm performance by focusing on the benefits and reducing the complexity of using a new technology.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of customer satisfaction and customer delight on customer loyalty through customer retention. Data were collected using a questionnaire developed based on the literature and administered to a sample of restaurant customers consisting of 376 customers. Using IBM SPSS and AMOS software for data analyses, the results indicate that customer retention had a perfect mediating role in the effect of customer satisfaction on customer loyalty and a partial mediating role in the effect of customer delight on customer loyalty. The study provided several contributions. A key contribution to researchers is that the effect of customer satisfaction on other variables, particularly customer loyalty should be assessed in terms of its direct and indirect effects. A basic contribution to managers is that both satisfied and delighted customers have potential intentions to defect, hence, retaining customers is a crucial step to ensure loyalty. Delighted customers are more likely to be retained and retained customers are ready to be loyal customers.
