The practical application of business data analytics in human resource (HR) management activities is still limited and underutilized. The primary reason for this is the requirement for more analytical skills, which can be acquired through data literacy. These skills are necessary to ensure obtaining the potential benefits of human resource analytics linked to desired positive employee outcomes, such as fostering innovative behavior. To address this issue, this quantitative study has been conducted to delve into the prospective moderating role of data literacy in the interaction between human resource analytics and employees’ innovative behavior. The core objective of this study is to examine whether human resource professionals’ data literacy level significantly impacts the correlation between human resource analytics and the inclination of employees towards innovative behavior. A sample of 250 HR specialists from large companies in Jordan has been used to address this inquiry. A correlational-predictive design has been used in this study. Regression analysis using the SPSS macro-PROCESS software has been utilized to address the study hypotheses. The study reveals a positive connection between HR analytics and employees’ innovative behavior. Moreover, it uncovers a noteworthy moderating influence of data literacy on this association. These findings suggest that heightened data analysis proficiency among HR professionals amplifies the potential benefits derived from analytics, thereby enhancing employees’ innovative capabilities. As a result, the research suggests that companies upgrade their technical infrastructure for HR functions and concurrently utilize data analytics for informed HR decisions. Further, these insights do serve as necessary inputs in understanding HR analytics and their implications for prudent business strategy. In view of this dynamic nature of HR analytics, the contributions made by the study are immensely valuable; hence, further exploration is needed to fill in gaps within existing knowledge.

This qualitative study examined the impact of social media characteristics on the attitude of users toward the use of e-services by the Department of Lands and Survey. The study population comprised users of Department of Lands and Survey e-service, while the study sample comprised 407 users. Data from respondents were analyzed using SEM run using Amos (23). Results showed reliability, security, website design, ease of use, awareness, and digital divide as direct significant antecedents of user attitude toward the use of e-services from the Department of Lands and Survey. Also, all antecedents showed direct significant relationships with user attitude. Results showed a direct significant relationship between user attitude and the use of e-services from the Department of Lands and Survey. Through mediation of user attitude, five indirect significant relationships between the antecedents and the use of e-services from the Department of Lands and Survey were found. The inclusion of new antecedents such as privacy and site content may enhance the understanding of how users use e-services provided by the Department of Lands and Survey.

The world of the Internet of Things (IoT), even though it is continuously morphing as a fresh paradigm at the intersection of technology and education, is still struggling with several difficulties that prevent its absorption into the e-learning platforms of higher education institutions (HEIs). The breadth of Internet of Things implementation in developing countries, particularly Jordan, Malaysia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Bangladesh, remains behind, even though industrialized nations have made significant advancements in their utilization of IoT, with the United Kingdom, the United States of America, China, and Japan acting as prominent examples. In the realm of research that focuses on the progression of the IOT integration into the e-learning systems of economically challenged countries, there is a substantial disparity. In particular, the focus of this research is on Jordan to shed light on the primary variables that are either facilitating or hindering the adoption of the IoT within the e-learning sector of Jordan's HEIs. A comprehensive analysis of previous research has been undertaken as a first stage in this investigation. The goal of this analysis is to identify important factors that are involved in the process of IOT adoption. Following that, we used an inferential technique, collecting data from 306 respondents who were enrolled in Jordanian higher education institutions. During our investigation, we discovered that the rate of the IOT integration was significantly influenced by factors such as accessibility, usability, technical assistance, and individual capabilities. In addition, our findings suggest that factors such as attitude, behavior, financial preparedness, dependability, and training have a substantial impact on the adoption of the IOT. On the other hand, the study seemed to indicate that characteristics such as class capacity, awareness, system resources, and course design had a minor influence on the adoption rates inside HEIs. In conclusion, this study provides tangible suggestions to strengthen the integration of the IoT inside Jordanian HEIs. These recommendations provide significant insights that can be used by policy architects, government entities, and higher education institutions to overcome the challenges that relate to the deployment of IoT in the higher learning sector.

This study employed quantitative methods to evaluate the influence of adaptive learning technology on the cognitive flexibility of students with special needs. Participants were recruited from special education schools using a purposive selection strategy. The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) was utilized as a tool to assess cognitive flexibility. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired-samples t-test, correlation analysis, and regression analyses. The findings demonstrated a notable enhancement in WCST scores after the intervention, suggesting that adaptive learning technologies have a beneficial effect on cognitive flexibility. Regression studies revealed that various types of adaptive learning technologies had varied levels of efficacy, with Tech A showing the most significant beneficial impact. Surprisingly, demographic factors such as age, gender, and educational attainment demonstrated little and statistically insignificant associations with alterations in cognitive flexibility levels. The findings emphasize the potential of adaptive learning technologies as effective therapies for improving cognitive flexibility in kids with special needs. It underscores the significance of evaluating specific characteristics and design principles to maximize their efficacy.
