The paper aimed to examine the impact of corporate governance on the financial performance of commercial banks in Jordan. The variables used to measure corporate governance were the board of directors' size, independent members of the board of directors, and the number of audit committee members, while those used to measure financial performance were return on investment, return on equity and earnings per share. The study used a quantitative approach based on the data of 12 commercial banks in Jordan during the period 2005-2022. The panel data were analyzed using the EViews software based on the ordinary least squares time series technique. The paper found the effect of all corporate governance variables on both return on investment and return on equity. However, it indicated that the board of directors' size and the independent members of the board of directors had an impact on earnings per share. This study highlighted corporate governance variables in one of the significant sectors of developing economies. Moreover, it recommended the need to review the principles used in selecting members of the audit committee for commercial banks in Jordan, due to their importance in developing long-term financial performance.

This study examines the impact of customer relationship management (CRM) practices and social media marketing (SMM) activities on customer retention among MSMEs in Aceh. It considers the dual role of social media in relationship management (CRM) and business engagement (SMM). Recognizing the widespread use of social media, the study explores different stages of its adoption and utilization in business. A formalized social media business profile is used as the moderating variable, defined by a firm's formal allocation of responsibility, outsourcing, funding, governance of social media, and broader changes to structure, processes, leadership, training, and culture. Data was collected from 565 MSMEs using questionnaires and analyzed with partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and multi-group analysis. The results demonstrated a high predictive power of the model on customer retention. Within CRM, the findings indicated a significant difference in the effect of key customer focus on customer retention, with higher effects observed in MSMEs that do not formalize their social media business profiles. Additionally, technology-based CRM showed significantly higher effects on customer retention for those who formalize their social media profiles. Within SMM, the study revealed significant differences in the effects of customization and trendiness on customer retention, both of which were more pronounced in MSMEs without formalized social media profiles. Furthermore, word-of-mouth had a significantly higher impact on customer retention for MSMEs with formalized social media profiles. This research contributes theoretically by developing an integrated framework that identifies how key customer focus, CRM organization, knowledge management, technology-based CRM, customization, entertainment, interaction, trendiness, and word-of-mouth influence customer retention. It also explores the moderating effects of formalized social media business profiles on CRM practices and SMM activities within MSMEs.

The study aims to investigate the moderating role of Organizational Readiness (OR) in the relationship between Supply Chain Agility (SCA) and Blockchain Adoption Intention (BAI) among these SMEs, drawing on the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory. The study adopts a positivist approach and a cross-sectional design to explore how organizational readiness moderates blockchain adoption in Saudi SMEs. It uses a quantitative methodology, surveying decision-makers from SMEs engaged in supply chain activities to gather data. Data analysis is performed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The study's findings indicate that Operational Supply Chain Transparency (OSCT) impacts Supply Chain Alignment (SCL), Supply Chain Adaptability (SCD), SCA, and BAI. Moreover, there is a positive influence of SCL on SCD and SCA. SCA also significantly influences BAI. Furthermore, the moderation analysis shows that OR significantly affects the SCA-BAI relationship, indicating that higher OR amplifies the positive impact of supply chain agility on blockchain adoption intention, underscoring the critical roles of supply chain factors and OR in blockchain adoption among SMEs. Based on the RBV theory, the study delves into how constructs like SCL, OSCT, SCD, and SCA are influenced by blockchain technology. It assesses the extent to which these factors would impact the propensity of SMEs to implement blockchain yet explores the moderating influence of OR on this dynamic.

Business incubators contribute to the development of entrepreneurship, innovation, and regional economy. However, in developing countries, implementation faces challenges and obstacles that threaten the success and sustainability of their operations. This research examines the influence of incubator resources, service capabilities, and government support on the success of business incubators. We conducted a national survey and used structural equation modelling analysis to test hypotheses on a sample representing seventy-six percent of the business incubator population in Indonesia, one of the developing countries in Asia. Empirical evidence shows that most incubators in Indonesia are non-profit, university-based, and technology business incubators. The incubator's resources and government support impact its service capabilities. However, the incubator's resources and government support do not directly impact its success. The novelty is that service capability acts as a full mediating variable on the influence of government support and incubator resources on the success of business incubators. The final section outlines managerial implications and future research directions.

This research aims to investigate the factors that affect the performance of national resilience, which are suspected to be related to the elements of territorial entrepreneurship leadership, knowledge sharing, territorial development, and national defense intentions. The sample consisted of 278 inmates in the context of national resilience. Primary data was obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to the sampled respondents. The data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique with the help of the Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS) software. The results of the data analysis indicate that the Territorial Entrepreneurial Leadership Strategy implemented thus far does not have a significant impact on the Territorial Development Strategy, State Defense Intentions, and National Resilience Performance. However, on the other hand, the Knowledge Sharing Strategy contributes significantly to enhancing the Territorial Development Strategy and National Resilience Performance. Similarly, it has been observed that the National Defense Intention plays a crucial role in improving National Resilience Performance. It can be concluded that the development of territorial communities needs to consider various strategies and factors, including leadership strategy, knowledge exchange, and national defense awareness, in order to achieve regional development goals and enhance national resilience comprehensively. Collaboration among local leaders, communities, and other stakeholders is key to designing and implementing effective programs in this context.

This shift in consumer behavior towards digital platforms has particularly affected MSMEs in Medan City, leading to prolonged closures. To address this issue, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of content marketing and influencer marketing strategies, along with the role of banking guarantees, in mitigating bankruptcy risks for MSMEs in the region. Using data analysis via SmartPLS software, the findings reveal that while content marketing alone doesn't show a direct positive impact, it significantly contributes to banking guarantees. Additionally, influencer marketing plays a significant role in enhancing banking guarantees and mitigating bankruptcy risks. Moreover, banking guarantees serve as a crucial intervening variable, amplifying the impact of both content and influencer marketing strategies in overcoming bankruptcy challenges for MSMEs.

The objective of the current study is to explore how certain attributes of chief executive officers (CEOs), such as their innovativeness, knowledge of information systems (IS), and trust in technology and technological factors (Compatibility, relative advantage, and complexity) on the utilization of accounting information systems (AIS) in companies across various industries in Jordan. The research gathered data through a structured questionnaire, which included a 7-point scale. The respondents were CEO/owner of small, medium, and large enterprises (SMEs) in Jordan. A total of 315 valid responses were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The findings indicated a significant and positive correlation between complexity, compatibility, CEOs trust in technologies, CEOs information system (IS) knowledge, and the utilization of AIS. However, CEO innovativeness and relative advantage have an insignificant impact on AIS use. The present study is the first to examine CEO characteristics in the AIS context. The practical and theoretical implications derived from the empirical findings of this study offer valuable insights for managers and practitioners. These insights aim to enhance their understanding of the fundamental factors crucial for the successful implementation of AIS in companies, ultimately contributing to improved firm performance.

This study endeavors to explore the influence of amenities, accessibility, and attractions on tourists' inclination to revisit a destination area. Additionally, it aims to delve into the role of safety, comfort, and uniqueness as factors enhancing the relationship between amenities, accessibility, and attractions in fostering intention to revisit. This research holds significant promise in addressing pertinent issues within the tourism landscape of Indonesia, particularly within the captivating realm of Aceh Province. The data collection method employed a questionnaire technique, wherein questionnaires were distributed to a sample of 150 tourists through the online platform Google Form. The data analysis utilized Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis, employing Partial Least Squares (PLS) statistical software techniques. The findings from the data analysis indicate that amenities, accessibility, and attractions are key factors in shaping perceptions of safety and comfort. Interestingly, while amenities and accessibility do not seem to affect perceived uniqueness, attractions were found to have a notable influence in this regard. Moreover, the analysis revealed that accessibility directly impacts revisit intention. It is surprising, however, that perceived safety and comfort do not mediate the effects of facilities, accessibility, and attractions on revisit intention. Similarly, perceived uniqueness does not appear to mediate this relationship either. Research underscores the importance of amenities, accessibility, and attractions in shaping perceptions of safety and comfort. While amenities and accessibility may not impact perceptions of uniqueness, it is evident that attractions significantly influence this aspect. Overall, the research underscores the importance of amenities, accessibility, and attractions in shaping perceptions, with attractions notably influencing uniqueness perception.
