Despite its potential to significantly improve the efficiency, effectiveness, transparency, and accountability of construction sector services, the implementation of digital government transformation in many countries has often failed to achieve desired results due to low user adoption. This study introduces a factor model to predict technology readiness and acceptance behavior in the implementation of digital government transformation within construction business licensing and procurement services by integrating the Technology Readiness and Technology Acceptance Models. Survey data collected from construction companies, experts, project managers, and procurement committees in Indonesia were used to test the model through Structural Equation Modelling (SMART-PLS). The findings reveal that positive technological readiness has a significant impact on perceived usefulness and users' intention to use the system. Additionally, it was discovered that a one-point increase in the intention to use led to a 0.625 increase in achievement value. This research contributes to addressing the slow adoption of digital government transformation by exploring intention-to-use behavior in the construction sector.

The goal of the study was to assess how Indonesian ICT companies that provide wholesale carrier services can manage the external business environment and improve their performance with the help of their co-creation strategy and corporate skills. Using partial quadratic structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate the research hypothesis, the study concentrated on 45 Indonesian ICT companies offering wholesale carrier services. The outcomes demonstrated how the company's co-creation strategy and capabilities increased its effectiveness and greatly improved its capacity to negotiate the external business climate. According to these results, enhancing organizational capacities and putting co-creation techniques into practice should be Indonesian ICT enterprises' top priorities if they want to improve performance and successfully navigate the external business environment. Involving consumers, users, or other stakeholders in the design and development of digital goods or services is known as the co-creation strategy. It can happen in a lot of different ways, such hackathons, online platforms, workshops, or prototype sessions.

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.

China listed companies play a significant role in fostering the economy's quality development and are leaders in the application of ESG principles by businesses. The application of ESG principles by listed companies is crucial to achieving a ‘win-win’ situation of social benefits and corporate economic benefits and raising the bar for high-quality development. Nevertheless, studies on the connection between corporate high-quality development and ESG information disclosure by China listed companies are few and contentious. This paper examines the role that ESG information disclosure plays in the development of corporate high-quality and the intermediary mechanism of green technology innovation in enterprises using panel data of China A-share non-financial listed companies from 2013 to 2022. The empirical results show that ESG disclosure and its three dimensions can significantly promote high-quality enterprise development. The study also discovers that high-quality enterprise development and ESG information disclosure are partially mediated by green technology innovation. The article’s findings serve as a guide for businesses, investors, and governments looking to adopt ESG practices.
