The purpose of this research was to analyze the increased performance improvement in the supply chain related to the energy and utilities sector of Jordan through cloud computing, also mediated by knowledge sharing. 150 respondents were analyzed. Research suggests that there was a strong positive relationship between cloud computing and supply chain performance. In addition, cloud computing had a strong and positive correlation with the practice of knowledge sharing. The result indicates that companies with a culture of knowledge sharing among employees were more likely to incorporate the use of cloud computing. The study also indicates that cloud computing adoption had enhanced supply chain performance in the utility and energy sector within Jordan. Therefore, the study also finds that there was a strong and positive relationship between knowledge sharing and well overall performance of supply chain activities. This points to the role that knowledge-sharing practices play in improving the performance of the supply chain within Jordanian utilities and energy sectors. Furthermore, the findings of the mediation study provide strong evidence in support of our hypothesis that knowledge sharing plays a major role as a mediator relating to the relationship between cloud computing adoption and supply chain performance. The observed mediation effect suggests that the positive impact of cloud computing implementation on supply chain performance can be attributed to some extent to its facilitating knowledge exchange practices. However, this research improves the understanding of relationships among cloud computing adoption implementations and information structure flow as well as supply chain performance within Utilities These results emphasize the importance of cloud technologies as information drivers that would lead to enhanced performance in terms of supply chain operations. These are insights that can be used by organizations and businesses aiming at improving their competitiveness and efficiency levels in these sectors.

This study investigates the relationships between transformational leadership, empowerment, and employee creativity in the hotel sector in Jordan, examining the mediating role of empowerment. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted with a stratified random sample of 300 employees from Jordanian hotels. Data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. Findings reveal significant positive direct effects of inspirational motivation and individualized consideration on employee creativity. Empowerment partially mediates the relationships between all transformational leadership dimensions (idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, individualized consideration) and employee creativity, with individualized consideration exhibiting the strongest indirect effect. The study contributes empirical evidence on the mediating role of empowerment in the transformational leadership-creativity relationship, specifically in the hotel sector context. It offers insights for managers on adopting transformational leadership practices and fostering empowerment to promote employee creativity and innovation. This study uniquely examines the relationships between transformational leadership, empowerment, and employee creativity within the Jordanian hotel sector, providing a nuanced understanding of the differential effects of transformational leadership dimensions and the crucial role of empowerment.

Enhancing employee loyalty to the company is essential to maximize corporate ability and achieve respective goals, as employees are the most valuable resource. Hence, managing human resources in organizations is key to achieving contemporary business success. The current study aims to assess the impact of human resource management practices (HRM) on organizational performance with employee engagement as a potential mediator. This study was conducted on Jordanian tourism projects. A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed with 237 returned. The data were analyzed through the partial least squares (PLS) software. Resultantly, performance appraisal and employee engagement significantly and positively impacted organizational performance. Recruitment and selection, training and development, compensation, and performance appraisal also significantly and positively impacted employee engagement. Employee engagement significantly mediated the impact of performance appraisal on recruitment, selection, and compensation with organizational performance.
