In the current competitive world of business, it is important that every individual strives to be competitive to elevate his/her life status and creates a bright-looking future. The purpose of this study is to lay emphasis on the Jordanian hospitality industry in light of the investigation as to how organizational commitment, leadership style and organizational culture influence organizational citizen behavior (OCB) with the moderating role of job satisfaction in the relationship.

The study explores the determinants based on the responses obtained from the employees working in five-star hotels in Jordan. A small sample was exposed to SPSS software analysis for instrument validity, reliability and data normality.

The study validated the reliability of the instrument in conducting a preliminary study, obtaining reasonable normality and highly reliable coefficients of measures (0.753-0.938).

The study validated the effectiveness of the instrument that examined different specific antecedents of OCB.

Presently, there is a need for graduate students to be well prepared with accounting professional competencies (APCs) as the market is characterized by intensive activities and rare job opportunities. In relation to this is the significant role of student engagement (SE) practices and e-learning. Thus, the present study examined the mediating role of e-learning on the relationship between SE practices and APC, as well as the moderating role of student's demographics on the same relationship.

The study used a structured questionnaire distributed to 428 accounting students enrolled in institutions in Jordan and the obtained response rate was 65.84%. The formulated hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling in PLS-SEM analysis Version 3.2.7.

On the basis of the results, there is a significant relationship between SE and e-learning and APC, with e-learning partially mediating the SE-APC relationship. The results also showed that students' demographics have a significant moderating relationship between the same.

The author recommends that universities employ advanced technologies with SE practices for the mobilization of accounting graduate students, with the prerequisite APC skills so they will become competitive and thrive in their professional and practical lives.

Among the vast innovation that emerged through industrialized revolution is the cell phone, while innovation has made life simpler in the present day, society is winding up increasingly attached to it via email, bills payments, movie production, video conferencing, financial tracking, face booking, indigenous and national news, stocks exchange news as well as the weather prediction. This paper aims to examine the elements influencing the utilization of telecommunication among clients through cell phones.

The technology acceptance model (TAM) has been widely used in the arena of innovation utilization; nevertheless, modern-day models are inadequate with regards to the factors that influence purchaser use, as they are centered more around innovation rather than services. Additionally, in the theory of planned behavior, individual norms construct is suggested as social impact and is regarded to be an independent factor.

Equally, usefulness and ease of use have been disregarded in numerous writing in light of TAM and in view of the survey discoveries; there is a positive connection between service quality, subjective norms, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness service.

The present paper proposed to the telecommunication establishments to firm-up interconnection between service quality and utilization purpose. It similarly enumerated equally theoretical and practical ramifications based on earlier writing and suggested future studies to concentrate more on the factors affecting Jordanian telecommunications utilization.

The purpose of this paper is to identify and examine the most important factors that could predict the Saudi customer’s continued intention towards adoption of mobile banking.

The proposed conceptual model was based on the technology acceptance model (TAM) and task-technology fit (TTF) model. This is also expanded by considering two additional factors: perceived privacy and perceived security. By using a self-administered questionnaire, the data were collected from a convenience sample of Saudi banking customers from different parts of Saudi Arabia.

The main results based on structural equation modelling analyses supported the impact of perceived privacy, perceived security, perceived usefulness and TTF on the customers’ continued intention to use mobile banking.

The moderation influence of the demographic factors (i.e. age, gender, income level, educational level) was not tested. The data were also collected using a self-report questionnaire; however, it would be more accurate to utilise more statistics from the bank database about the users of m-banking.

This study represents a worthy attempt to test such novel technology (m-banking) in the KSA where there is a scarcity of literature. A considerable theoretical contribution was also made by integrating the TTF model with the TAM in addition to consider privacy and security in one single model. Moreover, considering both perceived privacy and security in the current model creates an accurate picture about the adoption of m-banking especially as there are a limited number of m-banking studies that have considered privacy and security alongside the TTF model and TAM in the same model.
