This study empirically explores the influence of innovation orientation on the digital supply chain, mediated by dynamic capabilities within the context of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This study, rooted in a comprehensive evaluation of dynamic capabilities and innovation orientation, introduces a framework that could serve as a valuable resource for subsequent research. It contributes to the global discourse on optimizing digital supply chain practices among SMEs. Quantitative method was employed, gathering data from 212 professionals in SMEs in Dubai, UAE, via an online questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using SmartPLS 4, focusing on reliability, validity, discriminant validity, and hypothesis testing. The findings show a significant influence of innovation orientation on the digital supply chain. Dynamic capabilities also exhibit an indirect yet substantial impact on the relationship between innovation orientation and the digital supply chain. The identified dynamic capabilities are instrumental in refining decisions associated with the circular economy and leveraging technology to enhance supply chain mechanisms. These capabilities foster positive correlations between the digital supply chain and innovation. The predominant advantage of digital supply chains for consumers lies in their agility and speed, facilitating swift response to customer demand and bolstering business efficiency. The model presented is a template for future research, which could expand its scope to include other industries like manufacturing or services, augmenting the robustness of the findings.

This study investigates the mediating role of supply chain digitization in the relationship between supply chain agility and operational performance. To test the study hypothesis, a survey questionnaire was distributed to 320 respondents occupying different managerial positions at pharmaceutical manufacturing companies in Jordan. However, 285 questionnaires were retrieved, of which 17 were excluded for their invalidity. Thus, only 268 questionnaires were found to be valid for statistical analysis. The results show There is a relationship that is statistically significant between supply chain agility and operational performance; there is an impact of supply chain agility on supply chain digitization; there is an impact of supply chain digitization on operational performance; and there is no significant mediating role of supply chain digitization in the relationship between supply chain agility and operational performance. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of supply chain agility in enhancing the operational performance and supply digitization of pharmaceutical manufacturing companies in Jordan. The study recommends other researchers conduct further studies on how digitalization, information systems, and technology may improve supply chain agility, examine the ideas of responsiveness and resilience in agile supply chains, and recognize how these factors might be balanced by businesses to attain the best possible operational performance.

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 study collected data from 270 employees in private universities in Jordan. PLS4 was applied to analyze data and test the hypotheses. The results showed that CSR has a positive impact on EP. Also, the results showed that GHR and GC moderate the relationship between CSR and EP. Future research recommendations and study limitations are also provided.

This study aimed to clarify the relationship between profitability, investment opportunities, and sustainable profits for industrial companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange. The population consisted of all 53 industrial companies on the Exchange in 2022. Financial data was obtained for the period 2018-2022, including metrics on investment opportunities and profitability. Using statistical analysis like regression testing, we assessed the data to test hypotheses and reveal insights. Existing research presents mixed findings; some studies suggest a positive link between investment chances and financial performance and profit durability, while others make the opposite claim. Our results contribute uniquely to this ongoing debate by providing statistical evidence that investment opportunities have a robust, positive impact on profit sustainability. Additionally, profitability strongly influences both investment opportunity indicators and profit sustainability for these industrial companies. These conclusions assist stakeholders in justifying financial acquisitions and allocating capital to potential investments. The findings also aid in shaping short and long-term investment approaches aligned with company goals and policies. This can increase value creation for shareholders by enhancing profitability and sustaining profits over time. In summary, by quantitatively demonstrating the interconnected nature of profitability, investment opportunities and durable profits, this study equips decision makers to make informed strategic choices that promote growth and sustainability. The analysis methods and results add valuable insights to academic and practical understanding of these relationships within Jordan's industrial sector.

The objective of this research was to look at how firm attributes like age, size, as well as profitability affected the number of dividends paid. It also looked at how institutional ownership affected the connection between all these corporate characteristics as well as dividend payments as a moderating factor. A sample of forty publicly traded industrial businesses that were listed between 2016 and 2020 on the stock exchange in Amman were included in the research. The research analyzed the variables utilizing acceptable descriptive statistical techniques and used a model of multiple regression to test its predictions. The study's conclusions demonstrated that a company's size, years of existence, and income all positively affect dividend payments. Additionally, it found that corporate ownership had a strong correlation with dividend influence, as did both firm size as well as profitability. On the other hand, it discovered a negative correlation between the age of the firm as well as institutional ownership in terms of dividend effect. The research concludes with a proposal that Jordanian industrial enterprises should take size, years of operation, and profitability into account when determining how much dividend to pay out, acknowledging their important roles as well as effects on dividend distribution.

The present research analyzes the short and long run relationship between Energy Consumption, Economic growth, and Carbon Dioxide emissions in Jordan. The study employs two (2) models: 1: Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bound testing approach and 2: Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) Granger causality and impulse response function. The results reveal that energy consumption has a positive impact on carbon dioxide emissions and in turn carbon dioxide emissions have a positive link to economic growth. Further, the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis is tested, and it reveals that the EKC hypothesis is validated in the case of Jordan since the carbon dioxide emissions show a significant impact on economic growth in the short and long run. The study provides important results for future researchers and government policy makers.
