This study explores the factors affecting CliQ payment service adoption in Jordan as it represents a major shift in the Jordanian market to Fintech and mobile marketing. This study presented a distinctive model by integrating the “unified theory of acceptance” and the “technology acceptance model” TAM with the “use of technology UTAUT” to measure the behavioral intention of consumers and the satisfaction of the users towards utilizing the CliQ service. The study measured the linkage between four predictors (perceived usefulness, social influence, perceived ease of use, and financial risk) as well as both utilizers’ intention to CliQ service usage and utilizers’ satisfaction with using the service, along with observing the association between these predictors to determine their contribution to the users’ satisfaction mediated by the users’ intention to utilize the service mentioned above. A survey instrument was distributed to 604 respondents, and it was developed and validated by academics, as a pilot test. As well as a pre-test. Hypotheses were tested with multiple linear regression analysis using SmartPLS software to interpret path coefficients, and reliability and validity within the outer model were tested through correlation analysis. Additionally, internal consistency was explored by applying Cronbach’s alpha. The outcomes proved that the predictors significantly affect both utilizers’ behavioral attitudes and satisfaction with using the CliQ service, except for financial risk. The data analysis also indicated a significant indirect influence of all the independent variables on utilizers’ satisfaction through behavioral intention to utilize the CliQ service, except for financial risk, which had an insignificant indirect influence on utilizers’ satisfaction through behavioral intention for service usage. The findings of the current article close the gap found in the literature concerning measuring usability to enhance user satisfaction and adoption of Fintech services. Therefore, bank managers and policy planners can find insights for developing and improving mobile banking apps.

The fast fashion business is becoming more reliant on social media marketing (SMM) as SMM enables larger data collection and communication between the brand and its consumers. This study investigates the impact of SMM aspects such as customization, entertainment, interactivity, trendiness, and eWOM on fast fashion’s online and offline purchase intentions (PI). Similarly, it investigates the moderating influence of culture on the factors mentioned above and the relationship’s utilitarian and hedonic reasons. Additionally, 360 responses were obtained from three countries, Morocco, Jordan, and Spain, using an online questionnaire. The findings revealed that customization, amusement, and trendiness influence offline and online PI favorably. Culture was also shown to have a moderating influence on the link between SMM components and PI. Motivations were also discovered to be a mediator between eWOM, trendiness, customization, and PI.

Social media influencers have become important motivators in shaping tourist attitudes and behaviors. This study analyzed how exposure to influencer content impacts key outcomes for the destination Jordan. A survey of tourists who visited Jordan in the past 3 years measured their perceptions of influencer credibility, content quality, awareness/interest, trust/engagement, destination image, general tourism behavior, and intentions to revisit.

Awareness/interest and trust/engagement were most impactful, highlighting influencers' role in sparking early motivation. Content quality additionally predicted visit intentions by informing decisions. Perceived credibility made recommendations more persuasive. Furthermore, usage intensity positively moderated the mediated relationships, amplifying effects among heavy social media users.

This quantitative study pioneer’s measurement of influencer marketing's tangible impacts on key tourist metrics. The results empirically substantiate the ability of strategically leverage influencers to motivate visitation and guide decision-making.
