By integrating the technology acceptance model, the theory of planned behavior, and regulatory focus theory, this study assesses the mediating role of technology perception attributes (i.e., perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness) in the relationship between customer experience and the adoption of e-payment cards during the COVID-19 pandemic in Sudan. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 368 e-payment users in Khartoum and Southern Darfur, the two most highly populated states in Sudan. This study employed convenience sampling and quantitative methodology to clarify the relationship based on structural equation modeling. The empirical findings showed that the customer experience dimensions of cognition and emotion had a significant influence in e-payment adoption and technology perception. Further, they indicated that technology perception had a significant mediating role in the relationship between customer experience and e-payment adoption.

This article will examine the impact of e-service quality management dimensions on decision-making agility at private universities in Jordan. The e-service quality model was extended by adding more dimensions and applying them in a pure service environment. The study used five dimensions to measure the impact of e-services quality management, including efficiency, fulfillment, privacy, responsiveness, and contact on decision-making agility. During the spring semester of 2021, an online questionnaire was distributed randomly at 12 private universities in Jordan. A total of 300 respondents completed and submitted the questionnaire. The results show that the five dimensions of e-service quality have a significant impact on decision-making agility at private universities in Jordan. The result indicates that contact was the most influential factor in decision-making agility. This confirms the importance of having advanced information technology systems and strategies to enhance communication effectiveness. University management can employ these results to enhance existing policies and procedures to improve the quality of e-services provided to boost and maintain competitiveness and distinction. We can anticipate that a university with a high level of decision-making agility can have a better change management cycle and be more flexible in response to market challenges.

Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) has been widely recognized as a useful tool for effectively managing firms’ supply chain activities. Extant research on RFID in the supply chain domain has focused on implementing this technology in various supply chain activities, such as logistics and transportation, assembly and manufacturing. However, the application of RFID in warehousing management has received little attention. This study explores the implementation of RFID in warehousing in the construction sector. The study objectives are twofold. First, it explores the benefits of implementing RFID. Secondly, the study identifies major challenges associated with implementing RFID, which can prevent realizing the full potential of the technology in warehouse operations. The study adopts a qualitative research design by employing a case study approach to achieve these objectives. Specifically, the study undertakes three weeks of field observation and conducts interviews with 9 participants involved in warehouse operations in the construction sector. The findings show RFID implementations could bring significant values to warehouse management related to operational efficiency, service level and warehouse flexibility. However, the study also uncovered several challenges that can block the case firm from capturing the full potential of implementing RFID. The findings can contribute to a better understanding of the application of RFID technology in warehousing. Practitioners can understand the identified challenges to help them tackle them and inform their future decisions regarding further investment in this technology.
