This paper aims to explore the intentions to use FinTech and its important role in the banking industry in Jordan. Accordingly, this study analyzes the nature of the relationship between intention to use financial technology and each of: Processing Unit (PU) perceived usefulness, social impact (SI), customer’s trust (TRU) and perceived ease of use (PEU). Previous research related to financial technology is still under development and which is still being researched by providing an alternative approach to understanding how different business levels have stimulated the emergence of innovation-focused fintech companies, and what are the motives of success. Therefore, the main contribution of this research is to fill the gap in previous research related to financial technology that is still under development and which is still being researched by providing an alternative approach to understanding how different business levels have stimulated the emergence of innovation-focused fintech companies, and what are the motives of success. Results show a positive relation between intention to use financial technology and Processing Unit (PU), social impact (SI), customer’s trust (TRU) and perceived ease of use (PEU). The main contribution of this research is to fill the gap in previous research related to financial technology that is still under development and which is still being researched by providing an alternative approach to understanding how different business levels have stimulated the emergence of innovation-focused fintech companies, and what are the motives of success.

One of the most used social media platforms is TikTok, which is widely and increasingly used due to the short-video interactive music. Very few studies about why people prefer to use TikTok applications were carried out. Therefore, the objective of the current research is to examine the effect of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, sense of belonging, and user-generated content on the adoption of TikTok application, using the TAM model. Quantitative research has been applied as a methodological approach and was successfully carried out through an online survey, gathering a total of 255 filled surveys to test the applicability of the developed research model. The results show that the user-generated content has the highest significant positive influence on the intention to use TikTok. Followed by the perceived enjoyment, then the sense of belonging, the perceived ease of use, and the perceived usefulness, consequently. Also, results show that the independent variables explain 47.8% of the variance in the intention to use TikTok. Finally, to assure the generalizability of the study results the study recommends conducting further research in different countries and communities.

Website is a helpful interactive tool between universities and students. Innovating and improving the website quality creates students’ brand trust and satisfaction with the university.

For the development of technologies and networks that have been evolving and expanding day by day. In this generation, these facilities allow users to interact more efficiently. Safety is therefore very important to consider preserving the network and database and the need to detect a potential attack before an attack occurs. Network security has become the main issue, particularly in the industries, and there are many techniques to be used to protect network systems. One of them is called Honeypot, a software that is used to detect unauthorized misuse of information systems and to evaluate the actions and behavior of the attacker. Honeypot is, in other words, a trap for any attackers to log in to the network. If the behavior of these attackers is detected, the information will be used to improve network security. Using Honeypot does not cause attackers to notice they are being detected. This research is primarily focused on Honeypot, which is a ground-breaking new technology that has the potential to provide security communities with protection and how it is important for its use to enhance the network security framework.

Web based shopping has been the quickest developing channel of looking for over 10 years with deals developing at a yearly pace of 25%. One review connected properties of a site to drive purchasing conduct. Given the quick development of web-based shopping and the qualities of web-based shopping that energizes drive purchasing (for example open every minute of every day), drive purchasing on the web is probably going to be pervasive. Accordingly, this study plans to investigate the effects of site credits and persuasive variables on internet-based motivation purchasing. A self-directed poll was utilized to gather information for this review. The 400 respondents, in line with the required sample size, were people who have online buying experience in Thailand. The data analysis method is Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results of the study revealed that influence of web site attributes has a positive relationship with motivation factors. Moreover, motivation factors have a positive relationship with online impulse buying. Additionally, two components of motivation factors which are utilitarian and hedonic motivations, mediate the relationship between web site attributes and online impulse buying.

E-wallet usage in transactions during the Covid-19 pandemic is a cashless movement that supports breaking the chain of transmission of the Covid-19 virus. Intention to use E-wallet during the pandemic is high due to the stay-at-home recommendation that was enforced since the beginning of the breakdown of the first case in Indonesia. Several studies on technology acceptance have been carried out and this study presents a research framework by integrating technology acceptance model (TAM) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) to obtain more comprehensive results to increase technology acceptance intentions by adding virus fear and risk perception to the models that have been tested previously, since the research was conducted when the pandemic is ongoing. The results reveal that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived risk have a direct or indirect effects on attitudes toward using and behavioral intention to use, moderating results of fear of covid-19 on attitudes and intentions as well was found to significantly increase behavioral intention to use E-wallet during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The study aim is to examine the impact of industry 4.0 on sustainability of industrial organizations in Jordan. The population of the study consists of employees at various administrative levels of industrial organizations in Jordan. Due to the large population and the spatial and temporal limitations of the research, it was difficult to collect data using the comprehensive method. Therefore, the random sampling method was applied to collect data from the research population. The structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was used to test the impact of industry 4.0 dimensions on sustainability. The study results confirmed that all dimensions of industry 4.0 had an impact on sustainability. The greatest effect was for cyber-physical systems. Based on this result, researchers recommend the management of industrial organizations to invest in information technology to provide a large variety of data in a very short time and providing appropriate programs for analyzing big data and producing accurate and reliable information that can be used by employees.
