The study aimed to define the contribution of total quality management in relations with suppliers and customers in Jordanian pharmaceutical companies. The study population consisted of pharmaceutical companies in Jordan targeting individuals in supervisory positions in these companies. A total of 170 responses were received. The results of the study found that Jordanian pharmaceutical companies apply total quality management in terms of “commitment of senior management, employee empowerment, strategic planning for quality”, which had positive relationships with suppliers and customers. It indicates that total quality management and supply chain practices, especially the relationship with suppliers and customers, are among the basic concepts that work to improve supply chain performance. The study recommends devoting the necessary attention and care to empowering workers, and this is where the essential role-play for senior management is to create interest among employees in their work and jobs through training programs. However, developing methods of collective motivation, participating in setting goals, making decisions, and displaying the image of the work “Family” and forming problem-solving teams for the purpose of achieving empowerment is also important.

This qualitative study examined the impact of social media characteristics on the attitude of users toward the use of e-services by the Department of Lands and Survey. The study population comprised users of Department of Lands and Survey e-service, while the study sample comprised 407 users. Data from respondents were analyzed using SEM run using Amos (23). Results showed reliability, security, website design, ease of use, awareness, and digital divide as direct significant antecedents of user attitude toward the use of e-services from the Department of Lands and Survey. Also, all antecedents showed direct significant relationships with user attitude. Results showed a direct significant relationship between user attitude and the use of e-services from the Department of Lands and Survey. Through mediation of user attitude, five indirect significant relationships between the antecedents and the use of e-services from the Department of Lands and Survey were found. The inclusion of new antecedents such as privacy and site content may enhance the understanding of how users use e-services provided by the Department of Lands and Survey.

This research investigates the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) by Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Corporations (MSMEs) in Jordan. The research formulates and examines hypotheses on factors affecting ICT adoption morals via the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The suggested concept, which utilizes Structural Equation Modelling (ESM), highlights the critical responsibilities that social influence and perceived utility play in affecting choices to adopt ICT. It is noteworthy that MSMEs confront a multiple of obstacles when it comes to adopting ICT, encompassing restrictions in terms of infrastructure and resources, shortages of human capital, and hardships in the technology environment. Data were gathered from 305 MSMEs, and outcomes shed light on important factors to boost the impact of ICT integration in the special setting of Jordanian MSMEs.

This research uses Technology Acceptance Model to explore the elements influencing students' attitudes toward using Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT), a recently developed artificial intelligence (AI) tool, for learning and educational purposes. Using Amos version 23 structural equation modelling and 880 student survey responses, the suggested model was empirically tested. According to the report, students think well of ChatGPT utilization in the classroom. Credibility, Usefulness and ease of use, all influence how positively people feel about using this technology in a classroom setting. The study's findings, however, did not support the notion that students' adoption and use of ChatGPT was insignificantly influenced by perceived enjoyment. Moreover, the results conclude that attitude mediates the relationship between usefulness and intention to use ChatGPT. The research will help businesses, educational institutions, and the global community by providing insight into how students view the ChatGPT service within a learning environment. Additionally, the application boosts learners' confidence and interest, which improves general awareness and literacy. Finally, the research will facilitate developers of AI in the betterment of their product and service delivery and regulators in regulating the use of AI-based bots. Owing to its recentness, there is not much study currently available on ChatGPT use in education. This research adds significantly to the extant knowledge on the adoption of advanced education technologies by examining the adoption characteristics of ChatGPT, a novel AI-based tool involving students. Additionally, there is a dearth of research in the literature on students' adoption of ChatGPT for educational purposes. Such a gap was filled as this study identified the factors affecting students' adoption of ChatGPT in the classroom.

This study was designed using a quantitative approach through a survey questionnaire. A total of 467 respondents from seven states in Peninsular Malaysia have participated in this study and collected using the intercept survey.

The results showed that mass media has a significant positive effect on attitude, social influence and product safety. Also, attitude, social influence and product safety have a significant positive impact on the purchase behaviour of herbal products.
