Abstract: Human resource management is essential to the success of the organization based on the concept that an organization achieves a competitive edge by effectively and efficiently utilizing its people. However, HR professionals require organizational support to increase employee commitment and passion for their work. In this study, the goal of the study is to explore the moderating impact of government support in the relation between electronic human management (E-HRM), digital orientation, and performance of medium enterprises. To examine the relationships, the researcher collected data from 309 managers from Amman's medium-sized businesses via a survey questionnaire. Partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) is used in statistical analysis to evaluate the data as well as test hypotheses. The data showed that E-HRM and digital orientation have a good and substantial impact on ME performance. Furthermore, government support has a positive and significantly moderating effect between digital orientation and ME performance. On the other hand, government support has insignificant moderating influence on E-HRM and ME performance. This research extends to the literature on digital services and electronic human resource management practices in the sector of local medium enterprises. This research also discusses the implications and the future directions. One of these is that the study framework gives guidelines to HR practitioners on what competences they should focus on to improve in digital and electronic human resource management. According to the results of this research, HR professionals in medium-sized businesses should be involved in digital services, strategy planning and implementation in their organizations.

||
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the effect of sustainability knowledge dimensions which are recycling knowledge, reuse knowledge and use efficiently knowledge on sustainability intention, attitude and behavior toward water consumption. This study is important while it is the first empirical study that has examined the links between a set of sustainable water consumption concepts within an “water-poor,” Arab developing country context. A conceptual model of the connections between the above-mentioned factors was developed and the posited hypotheses were tested using a survey data set of 512 questionnaires collected from consumers in Jordan. The findings show that use efficiently knowledge has the strongest effect on sustainable intention, followed by recycling knowledge and reuse knowledge. Moreover, use efficiently knowledge has the strongest effect on a sustainable attitude followed by reuse knowledge and recycling knowledge. Additionally, sustainable intention has a stronger effect on sustainable behavior than sustainable attitude. Such results would provide useful insights for policymakers, nonprofit organizations, and businesses to integrate themes of sustainable behavior into their policies and programs, thereby facilitating better progress toward the sustainability of water resources in developing countries.

Abstract: There is increased adoption of renewable energy, particularly photovoltaic (PV), as a major source of clean and environmentally friendly energy. With the wide application of PV technologies, commonly called solar panels, their appropriate maintenance and cleaning are vital for optimum PV energy generation. The research focuses on exploring the various factors attributed to influence the want, intention and need to use PV panel cleaning robots in Thailand from an institutional management perspective. The study adopted the extended C-TAM-TPB by adding three more variables - Trust in technology, awareness of renewable energy, and environmental concern. A quantitative approach was used, where primary data was collected from PV institutional users. A population sample of 411 respondents was used. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) came in handy in evaluating the performance model, with the study's hypotheses being evaluated by the structural equation modeling (SEM). Results indicated that most of the subjective behaviors, perceived behavioral controls, and trust in technology played a key role in determining the intention and need to use solar panel cleaning robots. Perceived usefulness was found to have significant influence towards PV panel adoption. The influence of attitude was mediated by several factors – environmental concern, renewable energy awareness, trust in technology. The study recommended that the institutional users of solar panels should consider investing in knowledge regarding perceived behavioral control, developing confidence in the use of renewable and sustainable energy, and developing trust of the renewable and sustainable energy technologies. This could be achieved through programs such as public awareness, sharing accurate information regarding solar panel cleaning robots, and providing support and after sales support. Educational initiatives to change users' attitudes toward renewable energy technologies were recommended.
