A Bibliometric Analysis of Electronic Human Resource Management E-HRM in Scopus Database

Purpose: This study aims to Analyze the articles published in SCOPUS database relevant to EHRM. Toward future expanding and exploration to the EHRM area and shows the critical details about the relevant literature.   Design/Methodology/Approach: A bibliometric analysis for the articles published in SCOPUS database, contains the countries of the publications, authors, author’s nationality, number of articles been published according to authors and authors nationality, keywords, most repeated words and furthermore.   Findings: The outcomes of the analysis asserted that there is a lack of publications in general, the researchers of the publications were students and from educational institutions. Malaysian an Jordanian universities were amongst the highest papers published in EHRM. The importance of EHRM was clarified as well according to the previous literature. EHRM could simplify the HRM functions, cut costs, improve performance, generate a systematic HR function, and utilizing or integrating the information technology and HRM.   Research, practical & social implications: the implications of EHRM are beneficial for the fields and organizations which they use it, it’s the modern method to practice the HR functions which it might make the accessibility of the HR functions from the organizations and customers, suppliers and stakeholders.   Originality/Value: The paper contributes to the body of knowledge and guide the researchers toward valuable future research and filling up the several gaps in the area of the study

Does Digital Balanced Scorecards Lead To The Sustainable Performance Amongst The Jordanian SMEs?

Purpose: This study aims to fill up a literature gap related to the sustainable performance in Jordanian SMEs, where the literature focused on limited variables related only to the human capital.   Theoretical framework: The researchers provided a suggested model to be implemented in the SMEs in Jordan as one of the industries that must be activated in the country to help the economy. Management accounting system and digital balanced scorecards were the main variables contributing, while variables like capital forecasting and decision making also were playing the role of the dependents variable for the D.BSC.   Design/methodology/approach: All of the mentioned variable toward sustainable performance in the Jordanian SMEs in this quantitative research tested via randomly distributing questionnaires among the employees of the industry with returned and valid for analysis of 910 surveys. Using SPSS for descriptive analysis and AMOS for the EFA and CFA.   Findings: The results deducted as there is a significant mediation role for D.BSC between MAS and decision making and insignificant mediation role for D.BSC between MAS and capital forecasting.   Research, Practical & Social implications: This research is suggesting a model and variables to be used by the SMEs in Jordan. This model will vast the SMEs industry and support the society by affording further employment chances.   Originality/value: The paper contributes to the body of knowledge and the Jordanian SMEs industry and Jordanian society. This paper targeting the most important industry in the country currently because such third world countries needed the SMEs referring to the previous studies

Torsional Behavior of RC Beams with Transverse Openings Strengthened by Near Surface Mounted-Steel Wire Rope Subjected to Repeated Loading

The presence of the openings negatively effects on the strength of the beams where they act as a weak point because of the sudden change in the cross-section of the beam, so it becomes necessary to make strengthening for the beams to resist the effect of the openings and improve the strength of the beams, especially if the beams are subjected to repeated loads because of its effect on the strength at the failure. This paper studies the effect of the openings on the beams subjected to repeated loading and determine the extent of the increase in the strength of the beams when strengthened by the NSM technique. The experimental program included casting and testing fifteen RC beams, six of them considered as a control beams (three with strengthening and three without strengthening), and nine of them having circular transverse openings in different locations and strengthened by the NSM technique. Every type of beams is tested under three different types of loads (monotonic, constant repeated load, and incremental repeated load). All of the beams have the same dimensions and same reinforcement. The results show that all the beams with transverse openings are affected by repeated loads where the ultimate torque decreases and the twist angle increases. The existence of openings has a noted effect on reducing the ultimate torque, whereas the percentage of decrease in the ultimate torsional capacity reached 43.83% at the beam where the opening location is closest to the support (at the quarter of the clear span) and subjected to constant repeated loads, and the ultimate torque is significantly improved when the opening position is moved away from the supports. Also, the existence of strengthening reduced or eliminated the influence of openings on the ultimate torque compared with related non- strengthened beams

Conceptual Design of Ecotourism Products Proposal at Mangrove Forest in Ketam Island, Malaysia

Mangrove offers a unique and functional characteristic that proves to be beneficial to its surrounding ecosystem. It also benefited the local communities positively in the socio-economic growth via the increase in ecotourism product varieties. Ecotourism activities must not further deteriorate, but, be able to protect and preserve the mangrove ecosystem via a deliberate mangrove ecosystem management. In the effort to conserve mangrove ecosystem, increase public awareness and promote socio-economic growth, this study therefore seeks to highlight the existing ecotourism product (physical products, activities, facilities and services) at Ketam Island Mangrove Forest, Selangor, Malaysia and proposed ecotourism product suitable to feature mangrove forest. With sustainable development, a conceptual design is proposed for the future development of ecotourism research center and its urban enclave at the location, supplementing suitable ecotourism product to the existing product. A site survey of the location is conducted to observe the mangrove ecosystem. Further information is collected from supporting existing publications. Computer software such as AutoCAD and Adobe Photoshop are used to draw out the 2-Dimensional, 3-Dimensional, and render the proposed design to visual representations. Significantly, the supplementary ecotourism product conserves the mangrove ecosystem, promote socio-economic growth and benefit all stakeholders; visitors, local community
