Impact of practice of the leadership behavior patterns on the choice of the strategic alternative at family companies in Jordan

The study aimed to identify the impact of practice of the leadership behavior patterns on the choice of the strategic alternative at the family business in Jordan. The study population consisted of family companies in the Amman city, was chosen as the most Congested by the family businesses, was chosen as a random sample of (100) company, has been randomly selecting (400) manager was distributed a questionnaire study on them, they were retrieval (372) thereof, and the number of good ones for the purposes of the statistical analysis (360) questionnaire. The study found several results, most notably: the pattern (democratic) is prevalent pattern among managers of family businesses in Jordan. There is a statistically significant impact at the significance level (α = 0.05), for the behavior patterns of the leader collectively which are (dictatorial, autocratic, democratic, Altersla, and transformational), on the choice of the strategic alternative at family companies in Jordan. There is a statistically significant a negative impact at the significance level            (α = 0.05), for any one of the patterns (dictatorial, autocratic, and democratic), on the choice of the strategic alternative at family companies in Jordan. Also, there is a statistically significant a positive impact at the significance level (α = 0.05), for any one of the patterns (Altersla, and transformational), on the choice of the strategic alternative at family companies in Jordan. The study concluded that a number of the recommendations were the most important: the need for a good choice for the director of the factory is capable of use the appropriate pattern the leader of a position in the work because of its good impact on the performance of employees in the factory. And work to encourage the practice of democratic pattern, and  transfer pattern as they a positive relate closely activate the performance of the subordinates, and the reduction of the practice of patterns (dictatorial, and autocratic) as possible

Improving Working Capital Solvency of Islamic Banks Under Macroeconomic Variables

Purpose: The aim of this paper examines the impact of macroeconomic variables: public debt growth, inflation, money supply, balance of payments, and unemployment rate on the solvency of the working capital of Islamic banks in Jordan.   Theoretical framework: The financial ratio index is used by Alhayali and Albutma (1996) to compare total Assets to equity and assess whether the owners have enough rights to keep investing in fixed assets. we couldn't determine the type of relationship of macroeconomic factors on capital solvency.   Design/Methodology/Approach:  The study analyzed multiple linear regression data of economic variables and performance data in Islamic banks during the period 2005-2021.   Findings: The findings demonstrated that economic parameters, with the exception of money supply, are negatively correlated with the solvency of working capital (return on assets, return on deposits, and capital adequacy ratio). And the balance of payments has a positive effect.   Research, practical & social implications: The researcher suggested that the government should reduce the growth rates of public debt, inflation, and unemployment rate, Increasing the balance of payments and the money supply through the establishment of projects that are characterized by labor, and are financed through Islamic banks.   Originality/Value: The improvement of working capital comes as a result of an increase in projects, which in turn will lead to an increase in employment, cash flow, an improvement in exports, and the balance of payments, a decrease in unemployment, and inflation, and thus an improvement in the capacity of working capital

The Effect of the Production Pattern on the Media Content in the Jordanian TV Channels from the Contact Person Point View (An analytical study)

The effect of the production pattern on the media content in the Jordanian TV channels from the contact person point view, through analytical study. The study relied on the descriptive approach based on studying the facts about the nature of the phenomenon or a group of individuals, or a group of events or situations related to photographing, analyzing and evaluating the characteristics of the phenomenon to find out the variables that cause the phenomenon to occur, A questionnaire was designed for the study to achieve the desired goals, the study population consisted of 13 private channels in Jordan, and the sample consisted of media contact person, editors, broadcasters and photographers in the two channels (Roya and Kingdom). It was based on gatekeeper theory and prioritization theory. The study found a number of results, the most are: Jordanian satellite TV channels provide media content aimed at improving its image among the different audiences. The content is consistent with the level of the event and contributes to changing the concepts of the target audience towards the different subjects. Demonstrate the vision and strategies of the channel and recognize the importance of developing an information plan for the programs offered by the channels they own. The study made a number of recommendations, the most important of which are: The necessity of satellite TV channels to provide media content commensurate with the trends of public opinion to the masses and to satisfy their needs and social desires. And the satellite television channels providing media content aimed at increasing the bonds of love and trust that would achieve the success of these channels

The knowledge and attitude concerning sport-related concussion among coaches: A survey study

Background: There are no studies investigating the level of knowledge about and attitude towards sports-related concussions (SRC) among sports coaches in Jordan. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the knowledge about and attitude towards SRC among Jordanian sports coaches. Method: Our study was based on a cross-sectional survey. An Arabic version of the questionnaire from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was used to collect data. The survey identified participants’ demographics and knowledge about (0–10 points with higher scores indicating a higher knowledge) and attitude towards (8–40 with lower scores indicating favourable attitudes) SRC. Descriptive statistics and the Kruskal–Wallis test were used to examine knowledge and attitude differences by demographic factors. Spearman’s correlation examined the correlation between the total knowledge and attitude scores. Results: Participants included 193 coaches (62 basketball, 66 martial arts, 30 soccer, and 35 swimming). The median total knowledge and attitude scores were 4 and 30, respectively. The total knowledge score was the highest in martial arts coaches (median = 4) and those with graduate degrees (median = 5). The total attitude score was the lowest among basketball coaches (median = 28) and those who were 40–50 years old (median = 28). No significant correlation between knowledge and attitude scores was observed. Conclusion: Jordanian coaches have a deficiency in knowledge about SRC and hold attitudes that are not consistent with current practice recommendations. Clinical implications: Knowledge and attitude about SRC can be improved through education, access to healthcare providers, and adherence to SRC management guidelines

Stimulated infrared emission from rocks: assessing a stress indicator

International audienceTo study the effect of stress-activated positive hole (p-hole) charge carriers on the infrared (IR) emission from rocks, we subjected a portion (~10 vol.%) of a large (30×60×7.5 cm3) block of anorthosite, a nearly monomineralic (Ca-rich feldspar) igneous rock, to uniaxial deviatory stress up to failure. We measured the IR emission from a flat surface ?40 cm from the stressed rock volume over the 800?1300 cm?1 (7.7?12.5 ?m) range. Instantly, upon loading, the emission spectrum and intensity change. At first narrow bands appear at 930 cm?1 (10.75 ?m), 880 cm?1 (11.36 ?m), 820 cm?1 (12.4 ?m) plus additional narrow bands in the 1000?1300 cm?1 (7.7?10.0 ?m) range. The 10.75?12.4 ?m bands are thought to arise from vibrationally excited O-O stretching modes, which form when p-hole charge carriers, which spread from the stressed rock volume into the unstressed rock, recombine at the surface. They radiatively decay, giving rise to "hot" bands due to transitions between excited states. Before failure the broad emission bands at 1170 cm?1 and 1030 cm?1 (8.7 and 9.7 ?m) also increase slightly in intensity, suggesting a small increase in temperature due to thermalization of the energy deposited into the surface through p-hole recombination. Stimulated IR emission due to hole-hole recombination and its follow-on effects may help understand the enhanced IR emission seen in night-time satellite images of the land surface before major earthquakes known as "thermal anomalies"

Is CEO’s Moral Attitude in Consonance with Ethical Business Behaviours in Australia? An Empirical Investigation

A closer look at the history of corporate misconduct has revealed that the actions and inactions of chief executives have typically led to the downfall of companies. In many cases, where a company faces a crisis due to its wrongdoing, its CEO is forced out of his job and faces legal action. Evidently, more CEOs are now being fired for their misconduct and ethical lapses rather than for financial performance. This highlights the need for companies to understand the role of their chief executives in developing their ethical business practices. The characteristics of chief executive officers are often assumed to influence their behaviour in a certain way. Prior research has focused on the effects of observable factors on firm outcomes while not considering the psychological factors that influence them. The characteristics of a chief executive officer are said to be influenced by their psychological traits. From a psychological perspective, their ethical behaviour is influenced by various social cognitions, such as values and moral attitudes. This suggests that the moral attitude of a CEO may contribute to unethical or unethical business practices
