    Impact Of System Characteristics On The Usage Of Electronic Healthcare Records Among Jordanian Healthcare Professionals Performance
    (2024-01)
    Almomani,All'a Mohamad Abdelhamid
    Numerous reports highlight Jordan's lagging technology usage compared to other Arab nations and the global average, with a notable research gap in understanding electronic health records usage among healthcare professionals, necessitating an investigation into the factors affecting their usage, especially in the Jordanian public sector. This study extended the theory of planned behaviour by incorporating cognitive and emotional trust factors, with the identified cognitive factors being perceived usefulness, ease of use, facilitating conditions, data confidentiality, data integrity, and data availability. In addition, current study examined the role of emotional trust as a mediator between the cognitive factors of trust and the actual usage of the system. Furthermore, it introduced the concept of healthcare professionals’ performance within the theory of planned behaviour. This quantitative study employed a cross-sectional temporal separation design with the stratified sampling method and targeted healthcare professionals who rely on the electronic health records system in 33 public hospitals affiliated with the Jordanian Ministry of Health. A total of 459 questionnaires were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. The results of this study revealed that emotional trust was the strongest influencer on the use of electronic health records in Jordan. Social factors also influenced the use of the system, while perceived behavioural control had no effect on the usage of the system among Jordanian healthcare professionals.

    Lee, Chen Wei
    In combinatorial auction (CA) based winner determination problem (WDP) for transportation service procurement, carriers bid in packages according to lanes advertised by shipper. Along development of technologies and internet, last mile delivery, a service that needs fast decision is getting attention. However, previous researchers focused on solving mixed integer model for the CA based WDP, which is not efficient for large scale instance. Therefore, this research proposed an implementation of genetic algorithm (GA) with knowledge based operators as an alternative to approximate the solution.

    The Impact Of Business Environment And Government Support Towards Financial Performance: The Mediating Role Of Technological Innovation Among Private Listed Companies In China
    (2024-09)
    Wang, Xiaoran
    Firm financial performance is one of the key essential elements of financial management. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the effects of business environment (public administration, legal construction, foreign trade, and financial service) and government support (direct innovation subsidy and indirect fiscal expenditure) on the financial performance of private listed firms in China. This study also looks at how firm technological innovation plays a mediating role among business environment, government support and financial performance. This study covers 4,635 privately listed companies in China from 2013 to 2022, with a total of 30,351 observations. This study firstly adopts a fixed effects model for baseline regression. It is found that public administration, legal construction, foreign trade, financial service, direct innovation subsidy, and indirect fiscal expenditure are significantly and positively related to firm financial performance. Firm technological innovation positively mediates the relationship between business environment and government support on company financial performance. Secondly, in the robustness test, this study applied two-stage least squares, time segmentation, and alternative proxies to back up the findings of the baseline regression. The conclusions indicate that an optimised business environment and effective government support are key to improving firms’ financial performance.

    The Determinants Of Innovative Behavior Among Early Childhood Educators In Guangdong: The Mediating Role Of Self Efficacy
    (2024-09)
    Tang, Xuan
    This study focused on investigating the factors influencing innovative behavior among educators through the mediating role of self-efficacy in early childhood education in Guangdong, China, through the dual lens of social cognitive theory and social exchange theory. Using a quantitative research approach, data were collected from 476 educators through a questionnaire survey-based method. The primary independent variables investigated include focused instruction, professional community, instructional leadership, shared leadership, and trust in the principal. Innovative behavior functioned as the dependent variable, while educators’ selfefficacy was positioned as the mediating variable. The findings demonstrate significant positive associations between the independent variables and the educators’ self-efficacy, as well as between the educators’ self-efficacy and their innovative behavior. Crucially, self-efficacy emerged as a potent mediator in the relationship between the designated independent variables and innovative behavior. These results highlight the instrumental role that self-efficacy plays in fortifying educators’ innovative capacities in early childhood education. Drawing on these empirical discoveries, this research introduces the innovation and efficacy training model as a recommendation for educators, including those factors explored by this study.
