Enterprise resource planning (ERP) and organizational performance moderated by organizational and technological factors

Organizational performance (OP) and the enterprise resource planning system (ERP) are two of the most significant studies to provide benefits to the organizations. There are different investigations on the ERP and OP in private and public organizations in developed and developing countries. The current study studied the moderating effect organization factors and technological factors on the relationship between ERP and OP. Notably, as only a few studies have addressed the implication of ERP on OP in Arab countries such as in the Libyan context, it needs more investigation. There is a controversy between the effects of TF and OF that affect the ERP system and OP. The main objective was to explore to which extent the Libyan public organizations are looking to improve their performance through the ERP system. The quantitative method was adopted. Out of 242 public organizations, 149 organizations were selected as the study sample through the random sampling technique. 119 completed questionnaires were run for further analysis. The SPSS software, and PLS-SEM were employed to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that the relationship between the ERP system and OP was strongly significant. Also, the ERP system and OP were influenced by the interaction of the moderating effect of TF and OF. The empirical results add a new academic contribution to the body of knowledge. Hence, the obtained outcome is hoped to provide benefits to the public sector organizations in Libya

THE INFLUENCE OF TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS ON THE INTERNET FINANCIAL REPORTING IN THE LIBYAN BANKING SECTOR: MODERATING EFFECT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

For several decades, a lot of research has been carried out on the quality, methods and significance of internet financial reporting. However, most of the prior studies on IFR were declined towards exploratory and descriptive methods. Hence, the studies failed to explained technology factors empirically in terms of technology resources, human resources and users’ readiness towards IFR. Therefore, this study empirically examines the influence of technological factors on the IFR with the moderating effect of corporate governance. Data were collected from the users of internet financial reporting using clustered and simple random sampling. Meanwhile, 212 questionnaires were retrieved that represent 53% response rate. The data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings showed that technology factors (users’ readiness, technology and human resources) have statistically significant relationship with internet financial reporting of Libyan Banking Sector. This indicates that users’ readiness, human resources and technology resources are the predictor for internet financial reporting. Base on the moderating effect, it was revealed that corporate governance only moderates the relationship between users’ readiness and internet financial reporting. The results of our survey indicate continued progress in the area of corporate reporting over the Internet. Almost all the companies considered in this study have a section within their Website, which is used to present financial information.

Fresh Insight through a Keynesian Theory Approach to Investigate the Economic Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Pakistan

Beyond the immediate impositions of dealing with COVID-19, this disease represents a severe and significant challenge confronting Pakistan’s economy. The study’s objective was to evaluate the coronavirus epidemic’s effect on Pakistan’s economy and measures devised to mitigate the damage done by this disease. The study research design used the elementary concept of Keynesian theory comprising of the mapping of systematic behavior of the COVID-19 pandemic. Issues were formally underpinned, described, and visualized through the Keynesian theory concept. The eruption of COVID-19 has jolted the national and international economy. Pakistan is included, causing millions of people to stay at home, lose their jobs, and suspend or end business operations. Unemployment in Pakistan has reached nearly 25 million people, driving many towards conditions of hunger and poverty as the major economic damage in several sectors is anticipated at around PKR 1.3 trillion. The hardest-affected sectors comprise industries such as tourism and travel, financial markets, entertainment, manufacturing, etc., having a devastating effect on gross domestic product (GDP). It is mainly daily-wage earners and people running small businesses that have been seriously exploited and subjected to a curfew-like situation.

The key organizational factors in healthcare waste management practices of Libyan public hospitals

From MDPI via Jisc Publications RouterHistory: accepted 2021-11-10, pub-electronic 2021-11-19Publication status: PublishedThis study aims to investigate factors contributing to healthcare waste management practices among Libyan public hospitals. The organizational culture and structure are proposed to have their effect upon hospital organizational units in charge of healthcare waste production by a theoretical review to develop two main hypotheses. Hence, this study used the stratified random sampling technique to select respondents such as top management officials, heads of departments, and administrators who work in all the hospitals located in the south of Libya, from whom data was collected. The data for the study was gathered via a survey questionnaire from Libyan public hospitals in the country’s southern region. A total of 210 questionnaires were distributed and 171 usable responses were received, yielding a 70% response rate. Though the findings of the study show some inconsistency, the two dimensions of the culture examined in this study are found to have a positive relationship and significant influence on the management practices of health waste. Besides, it shows the positive relationship between organizational structure and healthcare waste management practices (HWMP). However, the findings of this study suggested that nurses and cleaners’ practices should critically consider structure dimensions such as formalization as well as moderating variables such as hospital location and type of services supplied on the interactions to improve the management of healthcare waste in Libya’s public hospitals.13pubpub2
