The market share of peer-to-peer (P2P) has shifted from dominating the P2P lending for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) to non-MSME. Meanwhile, non-MSME credit is an incumbent main market share banking which possibly makes it a complementary or substitution in P2P lending in non-MSME bank credit. Furthermore, optimizing and maintaining liquidity is important due to banks utilizing intermediation functions. The strictness of bank liquidity could determine the management’s response and policy in determining the best timing to utilize either the FinTech from the P2P platform or the customer’s existing funds first. This study aims to assess the empirical findings of the effect of P2P lending on banking credit that is divided between provinces with strict, normal, and lax liquidity. This study uses data from 33 provinces in Indonesia between January 2022 to December 2022. The study approach uses a regression data panel for the data analysis. The results of this study show that P2P lending positively and significantly impacts bank credits of non-MSMEs in provinces with lax bank liquidity. The stricter the banking the lower the compliments of P2P loans against the bank credits of non-MSME. To the author’s knowledge, no existing studies investigate the P2P lending of non-MSME banking credit that also consider the level of strictness of banking liquidity.

Despite the numerous advantages that different mobile payments can provide, their acceptance, and adoption rates are still relatively low. This study aims at investigating mobile payments and demonstrates how drivers and barriers that influence behavioral intentions to use mobile payments interact and support one another by combining the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the innovation resistance theory (IRT). A self-administered online survey was employed to gather data from 341 users of mobile payments in the State of Kuwait. To test the proposed model and its hypotheses, responses were analyzed using a partial least square structural equation modeling approach (PLS-SEM). The results show that usage, value, risk, and tradition resistance-related factors are significant barriers towards behavioral intentions to use mobile payments, while the image barrier is insignificant. The findings also affirmed that perceived behavioral control and attitudes motivate and influence consumers’ behavioral intentions; however, the subjective norm was non-significant. The study’s findings have significant implications for scholars, mobile payments’ service providers, marketers, policymakers, and banks.

The objective of this study was to assess the influence of strategic entrepreneurship, innovative entrepreneurship, and social capital on the overall performance of businesses by establishing a sustainable supply chain management system in private colleges in Jordan. The primary objective of the study was to examine the impact of these elements on the development of sustainable supply chain management and the overall performance of businesses. To assess the assumptions posited in this study, a total of 329 individuals were recruited as participants, and their data were subjected to analysis and discussion. The study demonstrated that the implementation of an entrepreneurship strategy, together with the adoption of creative entrepreneurial practices inside the organization, as well as the support and enhancement of social capital management, all contributed to the development of a sustainable supply chain management system and the enhancement of overall business performance. The significance of strategic entrepreneurship emerged, highlighting its encompassment of key elements such as Market Opportunity Assessment, resource allocation, and firm design. The subsequent concept that emerged was that of creative entrepreneurship, encompassing elements such as creativity and the production of ideas, willingness to take risks and engage in experimentation, as well as the ability to sense market trends and prioritize customer-centric innovation. Social capital emerged as a prominent feature, constituting the third important element. This category encompassed other subcategories, including networking and fostering relationships, trustworthiness and reputation, as well as the exchange of knowledge and facilitation of information dissemination.

As foodborne diseases are current major health issues worldwide, food safety is a global health target. The present work has used social cognitive theory as theoretical support for examining the social and cognitive factors [outcome expectations (OE), self-regulation (SR), environmental determinants (ED), and self-efficacy (SE)] of Jordanian restaurant managers’ and supervisors’ food safety behavior (FSB). The moderator was willingness to comply (WC). Data were collected from the participants via Google Forms using purposive sampling methods. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed, where 250 questionnaires were sent each to the Jordanian Restaurant Association (JRA, representing international and chain food restaurants in Jordan) as well as the Jordanian Union of Restaurants and Confectionary Proprietors (URCP, representing the local Jordanian restaurants). Two hundred and ninety-six completed questionnaires were returned. The hypotheses were analysed with smart partial least squares by structural equation modelling. The analysis determined that OE, SR, ED, and SE had positive impacts on FSB, while WC played a role in moderating the interlinkage among SE, OE, and FSB. To sum up, the current study as a whole also has significant theoretical and practical contributions for the practitioners in the given context.

The primary aim of this research is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the role played by entrepreneurial accounting practices in mitigating information disparities, as perceived by employees within the realm of Jordanian financial intermediaries. This role is encapsulated in various components, including accounting systems and policies, international financial reporting standards, international external auditing standards, international internal auditing standards, as well as professional and ethical conduct guidelines. In pursuit of our research objectives, we adopted two distinct methodological approaches. Firstly, a descriptive analytical approach was employed, involving the development of a structured questionnaire to gather primary data pertaining to the assessment of independent variables associated with entrepreneurial accounting practices. The second approach encompassed an applied perspective, seeking to gauge the impact of entrepreneurial accounting practices on reducing information asymmetry. This was achieved by examining the financial statements of insurance companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange for the period spanning 2016 to 2022, thereby constituting our dependent variable. Rigorous statistical techniques were employed to meticulously analyze the collected data, with the validation of our hypotheses achieved through a comprehensive multiple regression analysis. The findings of this study distinctly underscore the pivotal role played by entrepreneurial accounting practices in ameliorating information asymmetry issues within the corporate economic landscape. A robust and statistically significant correlation emerged between our dependent variable, namely the reduction of information asymmetry, and both the independent variables associated with entrepreneurial accounting practices and their inherent characteristics. This study's significant recommendation extends beyond the mere technical dimensions of accounting, encompassing a call for a holistic reevaluation of the accounting profession. Addressing the enduring phenomenon of information asymmetry among stakeholders is not merely a concern confined to the technical aspects of accounting. Rather, it represents a profound professional and ethical crisis that permeates the entire accounting ecosystem. This crisis emanates from the very foundations and legal frameworks of the profession, extends through accounting standards, and encompasses professional conduct and ethics. Ultimately, it concludes with the supervision and oversight of the quality of professional performance, an obligation shared by accountants, certified auditors, and management alike.
