BACKGROUND: The insurance sector in Jordan stands to gain significant benefits from the adoption of Accounting Intelligence (AI) systems, which can transform decision-making processes, enhance operational efficiency, and elevate customer satisfaction. OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the mediating role of organizational culture in the relationship between three key organizational factors—top management support (TMS), information technology (IT), and organizational size (OS)—and AI system adoption (AIA) in Jordan’s insurance companies. METHODS: Using a quantitative approach, the study surveyed 274 employees from Jordanian insurance companies. The data was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to assess the study’s hypotheses and ensure data reliability and validity. RESULTS: The findings revealed substantial support for the relationships between TMS, IT, OS, and organizational culture (ORC). Additionally, organizational culture emerged as a mediating factor influencing AI system adoption (AIA) adoption. However, certain direct relationships, such as ORC and AIA, and the mediating role of organizational culture in the relationship between IT and AIA, were context-dependent and lacked support. IMPLICATIONS: Organizational culture plays a critical role in mediating the relationship between key organizational factors and AIA in Jordan’s insurance sector.
背景:采用会计智能(AI)系统可以改变决策流程、提高运营效率并提升客户满意度,约旦的保险行业将从中获得巨大收益。目的:本研究探讨了组织文化在三个关键组织因素--高层管理支持(TMS)、信息技术(IT)和组织规模(OS)--与约旦保险公司采用 AI 系统(AIA)之间的中介作用。方法:本研究采用定量方法,对约旦保险公司的 274 名员工进行了调查。使用结构方程建模(SEM)和确证因子分析(CFA)对数据进行分析,以评估研究假设并确保数据的可靠性和有效性。结果:研究结果表明,TMS、IT、OS 和组织文化(ORC)之间的关系得到了大量支持。此外,组织文化还是影响人工智能系统采用(AIA)的中介因素。然而,某些直接关系,如 ORC 和 AIA,以及组织文化在 IT 和 AIA 关系中的中介作用,都是受环境影响的,缺乏支持。意义:在约旦保险业,组织文化在关键组织因素与 AIA 之间的关系中起着至关重要的中介作用。

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 caused an exogenous shock to global economies, businesses and people. However, digitalization is also helping many companies adapt and overcome the reality of COVID-19. The fact that people and companies are increasingly using technology in their daily lives to deal with this extraordinary situation demonstrates the acceleration of the digitalization process. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research is to examine the mediating role of Big Data Analytics (BDA) in the relationship between digital transformation (DT) and economic, environmental and social sustainability performance. METHODS: For data analysis and hypothesis testing, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used on 304 managers level employees in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Mozambique. RESULTS: The findings show that DT positively affects BDA in Mozambican SMEs. Furthermore, BDA positively impacts economic and environmental performance. In addition, BDA has a significant mediating role in the association between DT and economic and environmental performance. However, this relationship is insignificant regarding social performance. CONCLUSIONS: These findings have important implications for SMEs managers and policy makers, who can develop a coherent strategy to realize BDA opportunities, reduce costs and provide strategic value to improve firm sustainability performance in a post-pandemic world.

BACKGROUND: Facial recognition technology can significantly benefit society if used ethically. Various private sector, government, and civil society groups have created guidance documents to help guide the ethical use of this technology. OBJECTIVE: The study’s objective was to identify the common themes in these ethical guidance documents and determine the prevalence of those themes. METHODS: A qualitative content analysis of 25 facial recognition technology ethical guidance documents published within the United States or by international groups that included representation from the United States. RESULTS: The results show eight themes within the facial recognition technology ethical guidance documents: privacy, responsibility, accuracy and performance, accountability, transparency, lawful use, fairness, and purpose limitation. The most prevalent themes were privacy and responsibility. CONCLUSIONS: By following common ethical recommendations, industry actors can help address the challenges that may arise when seeking to develop, deploy, and use facial recognition technology. The research findings can inform the current debates regarding the ethical use of this technology and might help further the development of ethical norms within the industry.

BACKGROUND: Apart from being a topic of key interest during the last decades for its individual and organizational effectiveness, work-life balance also has specific implications during the period of imposed remote work. OBJECTIVE: The article outlines some of the antecedents of university teachers’ work-life balance. They were the only professionals teleworking during the whole period of imposed restriction and furthermore, university teachers are a group of professionals without any prior home office or remote work experience. METHODS: The cross-sectional study comprises randomized convenient sample of 708 university teachers who were administered an online instrument, measuring the constructs of work-life balance, perceived stress, burnout, job satisfaction, general health, general fears and anxiety, and satisfaction with personal relations. RESULTS: The results reveal that perceived stress, burnout, job satisfaction, physical and mental health, psychosomatic problems and quality of relations are antecedents of participants’ work-life balance. CONCLUSIONS: University teachers have adapted to the new working mode and succeeded in maintaining moderate levels of work-life balance and burnout. However, our findings outline the need of a robust comprehensive framework, accounting for the multiple and multi-level predictors of work-life balance. Future research and HR perspectives have been outlined.

BACKGROUND: Digital transformation has become one of the most important topics in business, as companies try to use technology to improve their processes and gain a competitive edge. However, the success of digital transformation projects can be affected by organizational culture, which can make it easier or harder for digital transformation projects to be successfully implemented. OBJECTIVE: This study seeks to investigate the impact of organizational culture on the success of digital transformation. The study measures dimensions of organizational culture and how they impact the success of digital transformation projects. METHODS: 264 employees from various firms provided information via a questionnaire, and the study used Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with AMOS software to evaluate the information and develop the proposed conceptual framework. RESULTS: The results demonstrate that employee empowerment has a positive and significant impact on digital transformation, while new organizational practice, support of change, and teamwork do not. CONCLUSIONS: These findings are crucial for advancing the current understanding of the role of organizational culture in the success of digital transformation projects. By shedding light on this relationship, this study contributes to the literature on digital transformation and provides organizations with insights that can inform their digital transformation strategies.

BACKGROUND: Information literacy always matters in the digital era. Upsurging research has been conducted about how information literacy influences their learning and capabilities development. However, previous literature has reached inconclusive and even conflicting results. OBJECTIVE: The present study investigates the underlying mechanism whereby the information literacy of using social media influences students’ cross-cultural social adjustment and their creativity. Further, the research explores the moderating role of personality of extraversion on students’ cross-cultural social adjustment. METHODS: A quantitative research methodology was adopted to survey international students studying at 43 Chinese public universities. Data collected from 2058 samples from 135 countries was used to test the hypothesized statements. RESULTS: Information literacy of using social media is confirmed to positively influence students’ cross-cultural social adjustment and creativity. Contrary to the hypothesized statement, personality of extraversion negatively moderates the relationships between two dimensions of information literacy of using social media and students’ cross-cultural social adjustment. CONCLUSIONS: International students rely more heavily on IL than domestic students, which should arouse more scholarly attention since no conclusive findings have been reached. How, by whom and where to use such an important skill could generate positive effects on human development deserves continuous efforts in the future.

BACKGROUND: For last decade, human resource (HR) function has had to move from its traditional operational, administrative role towards a more strategic role. In the light of transformation and drawing upon business partnering concept (the most well-known Ulrich model), a new formal position of an HR business partner, who acts as an HR subject-matter expert for the leaders of that particular business, has been established in some organisations. Although previous literature suggests the involvement of human resource management (HRM) in the development and implementation of socially responsible business activities, there is a lack of evidence on HR professionals’ role regarding internal corporate social responsibility (CSR), which implies behaviour towards employees. OBJECTIVE: To reveal the role of an HR business partner while developing and implementing internal CSR activities. METHODS: Qualitative research; semi-structured interviews with employees working as HR business partners in the banking sector were conducted. RESULTS: The results revealed a significant HR business partner role in addressing internal CSR, in terms of work-life balance (WLB), diversity and inclusion, learning and development, and psychological and physical well-being. CONCLUSIONS: The research results expand the knowledge on the link between HRM and internal CSR. Moreover, the findings have significant implications encouraging organisations to empower HR professionals to act within the internal CSR field.
