This research aims to investigate the impact of digital transformation on the operational efficiency, customer experience, competitive advantage, organizational performance, and risk management in Jordanian Islamic banks. A descriptive analytical method was used, collecting primary data from a survey of 68 employees across four Islamic banks. Statistical tools, including linear regression and correlation, were used for data analysis and hypothesis testing. The findings revealed that digital transformation significantly influences the operational efficiency, competitive advantage, customer experience, organizational performance, and risk management of Islamic banks at a significance level of α ≤ 0.05. While digital transformation generally enhanced operational outcomes and customer experience, it also increased exposure to risks such as electronic attacks, fraud, and privacy concerns. The results highlight the importance of integrating digital transformation in Islamic banking while employing robust risk management strategies. These findings provide insights for policymakers, bank managers, and researchers in formulating strategic initiatives for digital transformation in the banking sector. The research contributes to the literature by focusing on the role of digital transformation in Islamic banking, a less-explored area in academic studies. This research also presents valuable implications for practice, specifically for banks and regulators to balance the potential of digital transformation with the associated risks.

The paper aims to investigate the direct impact of accounting measurement, Social Capital Disclosure (SCD), and Accounting Conservatism (AC) on the Quality of Accounting Information (QAI), focusing on consistency in the context of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The study involves industrial companies in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a. Hypotheses are developed and tested through the collected data from a questionnaire distributed to 178 employees. Results indicate a positive impact of accounting measurement, SCD, and AC on the quality and reliability of accounting information. However, when considering CSR as a moderating variable, these factors do not show a significant positive effect. The study is limited to industrial companies in Sana’a, and broader implications may require consideration of various other sectors.

This study examines the relationships among green human resource management (GHRM), green commitment, green innovative work behavior (GIWB), and the moderating effect of environmentally specific servant leadership (ESSL) in UAE higher education institutes of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Using a sample of employees, data were collected through a survey from 243 employees working in different universities across the UAE and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The SEM analysis confirms robust relationships between GHRM, environmentally specific servant leadership, green commitment, and green innovative workplace behavior. GHRM has a positive impact on GHRM. ESSL fosters the relationship between GHRM and green commitment, while green commitment positively impacts green innovative workplace behavior. Females were found to be more environmentally aware of the needed adjustments compared to male workers at the UAE campuses. The study suggests that higher education institutes in the UAE should adopt ESSL to support eco-conscious behaviors and green practices on their campuses and contribute to the achievement of national sustainability goals.

This research adopts a contingency theory approach to explore the role of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a performance management system. Contingencies, including perceived environmental uncertainty and business strategy, are examined to understand their impact on BSC implementation and organizational performance, with a specific focus on the mediating role of the BSC. Conducting a survey among Jordanian manufacturers, the research gathered 312 usable responses out of 400 questionnaires, achieving a response rate of 78%. Theoretically, this study's framework contributed to management accounting literature by analyzing the impact of perceived environmental uncertainty and business strategy on BSC implementation. The study's findings will help understand the factors that could influence Jordanian manufacturing companies' BSC implementation. This study will also help businesses understand why they need to use BSC to get the right information for making decisions and improve the performance of their organizations.

This study investigates the impact of supply chain agility on supply chain performance in Jordan’s healthcare settings. The moderation role of human capital in this relationship was also investigated. This study adopted a quantitative approach and utilized an online questionnaire to collect data from 139 managers at different levels in various hospitals in Jordan. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23 was used for data analysis. The results of hypothesis testing using multivariate regression analysis showed that human capital has a positive and statistically significant impact on supply chain performance and supply chain agility. Human capital has been identified as an important organizational resource that can result in favorable performance. Such an organizational resource may also help healthcare institutions obtain a competitive edge by responding to patients’ treatment, which is urgently required.

This paper promotes supply chain performance, sustainability, and Industry 4.0 integration to boost competitiveness. Indonesia's textile industry's competitiveness depends on many factors. Indigenous factors, technology, vertical integration, and global supply networks drive competitiveness. This study uses descriptive data to examine 143 textile workers in Indonesia and provides important context for the sector. It demonstrates that various factors, such as native elements, technical readiness, vertical integration, and global supply chain participation, impact the competitiveness of Indonesia's textile sector. The findings suggest that policymakers and industry leaders should take strategic actions to enhance competitiveness, including encouraging collaboration, technical advancement, and local enterprise, as well as investing in technology, vertical integration, and global networking. Despite its cross-sectional approach and contextual complexity, the study is believed to enhance the competitiveness of the global textile industry. Our guidelines help stakeholders make strategic decisions that utilize regional strengths, adopt cutting-edge technologies, and integrate into global supply networks. Subsequent studies can examine industry differences and how these links change. This research helps Indonesian textile industry stakeholders make competitive decisions.

Universities seek out of its keenness to preserve the environment and to enhance its environmental performance, by paying attention to social responsibility, to enhance its reputation in society.

The research aims to examine the effect of sustainable report disclosure on investor confidence. The conceptual framework comprises 3 dimensions 30 indicators of the conceptual Global Reporting Standard (GRI). The data were collected from the annual report and sustainable report disclosure of energy groups in Thai Listed Companies from 46 companies between 2019 and 2021. The researchers used multiple regression statistics to test hypotheses. The result of the study is obviously seen that the more sustainable report disclosures are produced, the greater investor confidence has increased. With corporate governance score as a mediator variable to support investor confidence, an increase in the disclosure of sustainable report information can be attributed, in part, to factors including the size of the board of directors and the size of independent board of directors. In brief, this research contributes to corporate social responsibility through stakeholder theory, legitimacy theory and signally theory.
