The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of operational flexibility between the quality of health information technology and management capability. A cross-sectional study was conducted; data was obtained based on 365 medical staff (medical doctors, nurses, and medical technologists) from public hospitals in the northern region of Jordan; a covenant sample was used. The authors used structural equation modeling to verify the hypotheses. The results reveal that the quality of health information technology has a significant impact on management capability and operational flexibility. Operational flexibility as a partial mediating variable also showed a significant impact on management capability. The study suggests that increasing the quality of health information technology will enhance the management capability and operational flexibility in healthcare organizations and will increase employee loyalty as a vehicle to trigger positive work-related attitudes. This study is one of the very limited studies in the Middle East that examined the role of operational flexibility in the quality of health information technology and employee management capability.

The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of corporate governance on corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance and financial reporting quality in Saudi Arabia's manufacturing sector. The data is collected through the database of Thomson Reuters from 30 manufacturing companies of Saudi Arabia over the period 2014-2020. Descriptive statistics and the generalized least square (GLS) model were applied. The dependent variable was calculated through residuals and was found as discretionary accruals (DA). The findings reveal that there was a positive influence of corporate governance on CSR performance and financial reporting quality. It was found that sample size was one of the biggest limitations because only data from 2014 to 2020 were collected and to make the study more reliable and authentic, larger data is required.

Supply chain management and integration have become more important business topics mainly addressed within the different businesses industries in order to influence the organizational performance. The current research study aims to investigate this effect by involving some key of supply chain partners on organizational performance. Also, the moderation role of trust as an influential aspect in the business was also studied in this work. To conduct this research and meet the stated research objective, a quantitative research method was used to collect data from food products manufacturers in Jordan due to the main contribution of this sector to the national economy of Jordan. PLS-SEM approach was selected in the phase of analysis and the findings revealed a significant effect of all hypothesized research assumptions and a significant moderating effect of trust on the relationship between supply chain partners’ integration and organizational performance. The research findings also provided expected implications and supported the relevant evidence and literature in this area, as well it would contribute to cover the existing research knowledge gaps by integrating a new model including sets of new variables that have not been examined together within a single conceptual framework.

The aim of this study is to explore the impact of supply chain 4.0 technologies (e.g., big data and Internet-of-things) of the strategic outcomes of supply chain 4.0. The required data was collected via a questionnaire from a sample consisting of 211 employees from construction companies in Jordan. The results point out that big data and the Internet of things have significant impacts on the strategic outcomes of supply chain 4.0. Hence, it was concluded that supply chain technologies are pivotal drivers of supply chain strategic outcomes. Based on these results companies are called to adopt and integrate Industry 4.0 technologies into their supply chains to improve supply chain long-run performance. Scholars were also encouraged to investigate the impact of supply chain 4.0 technologies on other constructs such as supply chain resilience.

The aim linked with the present article is to investigate the impact of corporate social responsibilities and board diversity on the earning management of the Jordanian listed firms. The top twelve trading listed firms have been selected from the Jordan stock exchange and data has been extracted from 2011 to 2020. The robust standard error along with the generalized method of moment (GMM) has been used for the analysis purpose. The results indicated that corporate social responsibilities and board diversity have a positive association with earning management of the Jordanian firm. These findings are suitable for the regulators while formulating policies on the corporate social responsibilities and earning management of the firm. These findings have guided the policymakers that they should enhance their focus on the corporate social responsibilities that enhance the earning management of the company. This study is also helpful for the new researcher while investigating this area in the future.

This study came with the aim of identifying the impact of the green supply chain on sustainability. This research targeted managers at the senior and middle levels of the Pharmaceutical Industry in Jordan, as they were formulating the company's strategies and determining its policies. A purposive sample consisting of 258 managers was selected. To gather the data needed for the analysis, a self-report questionnaire was used formulated electronically through Google Forms. AMOS software was used to examine the research hypotheses. The study concluded that there was an impact of the green supply chain with its dimensions (Eco-Design, Green Distribution, Green Purchasing, Green Manufacturing, and Green Reverse Logistics) on sustainability. Based on this result, the researcher recommends pharmaceutical companies in Jordan to take green initiatives and the trends towards implementing a green supply chain approach that reduces the consumption of non-renewable resources and waste, and to establish special laws and regulations in the company that oblige employees to apply the green approach in their practices within the work.

The aim of this study is to identify the effect of supply chain resilience as measured by supply chain flexibility, supply chain collaboration, and supply chain agility on supply chain performance. A sample consisting of employees from chemical industrial companies in Jordan was selected to collect data using an electronic questionnaire. Analyzing data via SmartPLS 3.0, the results showed that supply chain collaboration and supply chain agility as key dimensions of supply chain resilience had significant effects on supply chain performance, while supply chain flexibility exerted insignificant effect on supply chain performance. Therefore, managers are recommended to improve their firms’ abilities to carry out effective work with partners and to enhance firms’ abilities to respond quickly to unpredictable changes. Scholars are also requested to conduct further studies such as investigating the effect of supply chain redundancy on supply chain performance.

Digitization and the internet are new phenomena which have greatly changed the way in which modern-day businesses are run. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is one such system developed as a result of digitization in order to improve firm supply chain efficiency. This study investigated the relationship between digital and sustainable supply chain (in this case the ERP system) and firm competences of supply chain management. 33 respondents from e-commerce firms volunteered to take part in the data collection process of the study, with a majority of them being information technology (IT) managers. The hypothesized relationships were analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings of the study depict that all the hypothesized relationships were significant (p<.001) at the 1 % level of significance, implying that there exists a positive effect of the ERP systems on firm performance.

The advent of cloud accounting is a relatively recent development that has had a significant impact on the operation of financial companies. Within this framework, there is a paucity of information regarding the elements that may influence the adoption of cloud accounting information systems. This study builds an effect model based on the information system success theory, and then experimentally evaluates it with data from 391 employees working in Jordanian financial organizations using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of these tests are presented. It was discovered that concepts such as perceived utility, information quality, system quality, and service quality had an effect on the adoption of cloud accounting information systems.

The consequences of reverse factoring in a supply chain are examined in this article. Reverse factoring occurs when a buying firm offers a reduced short-term borrowing rate to a supplier company in exchange for longer payment terms. From the standpoint of a supplier, this paper investigates the impact of rating changes, interest rate fluctuations, and business cycle position on the cost-benefit trade-off in the SMEs and manufacturing companies. However, the data was collected using a questionnaire. The main result is that changes in critical financial variables like ratings, news alerts and interest rates will shift former win–win circumstances for the supplier dependent on the business cycle into win–lose situations for the supplier. Overall, the reverse factoring results reveal sophisticated trade-offs, necessitating careful consideration in managerial decisions.
