This paper reports on a case study where the Namibian environment is used, to gain a deeper understanding of the factors that influence e-governance and how those factors manifest themselves. This study is motivated by the continuous challenges that are encountered by many African countries, either in the development or implementation or both, of the e-governance solution. The interpretive approach was employed, and qualitative data were gathered using the semi-structured interview technique. Activity theory was used as a lens to guide the analysis of the data, from which six factors were found to influence the implementation of e-governance in the country. The factors are 1) know-how; 2) requirements of both technical and non-technical components; 3) political will, which draws on power to make decisions; 4) heterogeneity; a repertoire of actors; 5) power relationship and 6) governance, which includes standards, policies, and principles. The empiricism nature of the study enhances the implementation of the e-governance solution, which can result in improved service delivery in the country.

Financial statements and the fact that many investors depend on the most critical outputs of the auditing quality. We documented the impact of audit quality as measured by audit firm size, tenure, fees, and firm experience on the stock prices and the liquidity of stock companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE). The research adopted the deductive approach considering the least squares dummy variable approach following Pham et al. (2020), Sumiadji et al. (2019), Ugwunta et al. (2018), and Al-Thuneibat et al. (2011) to study the relationship between time-varying predictors and outcomes of 185 shareholding companies listed on ASE from 2016 to 2020. The characteristics of an audit firm vary in their effects on both the stock price and the liquidity. Management of the listed companies should be discussed to address the barriers that limit the impact of audit quality on the reliability of information associated with financial statements aiming to reduce information asymmetry and boost investor confidence, and then the share price should rise, and smaller audit firms should be encouraged to perform more specific audit assignments.
财务报表和事实是许多投资者最关键依赖的审计产出的质量。我们记录了审计质量对安曼证券交易所(ASE)上市公司的股票价格和流动性的影响，审计质量是通过审计事务所规模、任期、费用和事务所经验来衡量的。本研究继Pham et al.(2020)、Sumiadji et al.(2019)、Ugwunta et al.(2018)、al - thuneibat et al.(2011)之后，采用考虑最小二乘虚拟变量法的演绎方法，对2016 - 2020年在日月光上市的185家持股公司的时变预测因子与结果的关系进行了研究。审计事务所的特征对股票价格和流动性的影响各不相同。应该讨论上市公司的管理，以解决限制审计质量对财务报表相关信息可靠性影响的障碍，旨在减少信息不对称，增强投资者信心，然后股价应该上涨，应该鼓励较小的审计公司执行更具体的审计任务。

The need to activate the concept of social responsibility accounting has increased, especially in light of the difficult economic challenges and the increase in competition between companies (Shahwan et al., 2022a). This study aims at identifying the impact of applying social responsibility accounting on the financial performance of public shareholding companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) during the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve the aim of this study, the researcher developed a questionnaire, where the study population consisted of public shareholding companies and the population was 173 companies according to the ASE. In this study, questionnaires were used to collect the data, and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) used to analyze the data. This study finds that there is a significant impact of social responsibility accounting on the financial performance represented by the return on assets for public shareholding companies listed on the ASE during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study recommended that there is a need for public shareholding companies to work to apply the activities related to social responsibility accounting in its various dimensions (employees, environment, society, and product). In addition, the companies should work to meet the desires of all members of society, which will lead to an increase in the community’s confidence in the company, and this will reflect positively on its financial performance in general and the return on assets specifically.
激活社会责任会计概念的必要性增加了，特别是考虑到困难的经济挑战和公司之间竞争的加剧(Shahwan等人，2022a)。本研究旨在确定在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，应用社会责任会计对安曼证券交易所(ASE)上市的公众持股公司财务绩效的影响。为了达到本研究的目的，研究者制定了一份调查问卷，其中研究人群由公众持股公司组成，根据ASE，人口为173家公司。在本研究中，采用问卷调查的方式收集数据，并使用SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences)对数据进行分析。本研究发现，新冠疫情期间，社会责任会计对日月光交易所上市的公众持股公司以资产收益率为代表的财务绩效存在显著影响。本研究建议，上市公司有必要在员工、环境、社会和产品的各个维度上应用与社会责任会计相关的活动。此外，公司应该努力满足社会所有成员的愿望，这将增加社会对公司的信心，这将对公司的财务业绩和资产回报率产生积极的影响。

This study aims to identify and examine the three components of the fraud triangle theory that affect the likelihood of material misstatements in financial statements. With a sample of 150 listed companies from two stock exchanges in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City (HOSE) and Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) in 2019, this study uses multinomial logistic regression analysis to examine the relationship among factors. This study shows the impact of using the elements of the fraud triangle theory in forecasting the likelihood of material misstatement (Cressey, 1953; Romney et al., 1980). The results indicate that the following factors affect the possibility of material misstatements in financial statements of companies: debt ratio, return on assets, independence of the board members, selection of an audit firm, auditor change in comparison with the previous year, and historical financial statements with material misstatements. These findings of the study can be utilized to develop strategies to help identify companies that are likely to have material misstatements in their financial statements.

This study aims to investigate the impact of organizational memory and social media on hotel reputation in Jordan. A self-administered questionnaire was employed in this study to collect data from 325 respondents using a convenience sampling technique. Partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was also used to test the suggested structural model. According to the study’s conclusions, social media and organizational memory have a favourable and significant impact on Jordanian hotels’ reputations. This study only covers respondents from Jordanian hotels due to a lack of finance and time, making it impossible to compare the results with those from other hospitality sectors. As a result, this is seen as a study constraint. Further research into the value of many facets of hotel reputation was conducted using importance-performance map analysis (IPMA). The results suggest that Jordanian hotels should utilize social media to boost their reputation. The findings of this study are meant to help Jordanian hotels comprehend the function that social media plays in enhancing hotel reputation. Findings from this study can help hotel managers and practitioners improve their digital reputation management approaches.

This study aims to identify the determinants affecting the working capital of non-financial companies listed on the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). All non-financial companies listed on Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Kuwait were collected and resulted in a total of 532 companies during the period of 2008–2021. The final sample included 135 companies (25.38 percent of the total number of non-financial companies in the GCC) that had at least 10 years of data out of the 14 years. This paper applied the panel regression (random and fixed effects techniques); the insignificant result of the Hausman test favored the random effect results. The results argued that there is a negative significant effect of leverage, profitability, and firm size on working capital. This suggests that high-leveraged companies tend to have less working capital and this is due to the commitment to servicing the debts. In addition, large companies tend to have less working capital since they have huge expenses to pay and this affects negatively their working capital level. Also, an interesting result is that highly profitable companies tend to have less working capital since they include themselves in more projects. While, there is a positive significant effect of growth and cash flow on working capital, which confirms that high-growth companies tend to have better working capital.

This study begins with the condition that almost every election held in Indonesia lacks accountability and transparency in campaign finance report cases. Matched to Mietzner’s (2015) and Briffault’s (2010) reports, there are always problems with the non-functioning of campaign finance arrangements in upholding the principles of transparency and accountability. As a result, the lack of accountability and transparency in implementing campaign finance arrangements often results in conflicts of interest that lead to post-election corruption. This article aims to discover the factors that hinder the functioning of campaign finance regulations that can encourage enforcement transparency and accountability. This research uses normative juridical methods with a comparative law approach. The object of this research is the election campaign funding regulation, especially local elections in Indonesia and focuses on the dysfunctional design of campaign finance regulations on local head elections. We found that the candidates often violate existing campaign finance regulations, with election administrators, law enforcement and the public openly tolerating such violations. Campaign finance regulations continue to develop, but they only prioritize administrative aspects in their implementation. In conclusion, changes needed to optimize fund management are funds obtained from campaigns owned by individuals and then have a reasonable candidate wealth ratio.

This paper aims to analyze the Ottoman taxation (timar) system which resembles medieval European feudalism. In this article, a chronological approach and contemporary scientific-methodological techniques have been used, as well as analytical and interpretation methods to clarify the Ottoman legal rules that regulate property rights focused in Kosovo. Based on this research, it has been found that the Ottoman government declared that all rural agricultural land belonged to the state, as well as that the peasant who worked on it had the status of an inherited tenant, and as a reward for his work he had the right to use it but as foreign property. This paper concludes that only a part of villagers representatives was integrated into the ranks of the spahis and the leaders of the Ottoman state, and Albanians had and kept such privileges until the end of foreign rule. This article is important to reflect on the influence that the Ottoman timar system had on the establishment of the Ottoman Empire in the countries which were its vassals, even though it has its own weaknesses (Kurmus & Yapucu, 2020).

This study investigated the level of labor protection as per the international labor contract. Thus, the way applicable law is applied to international labor relations in Jordan and other Arab countries such as Kuwait and Bahrain, and Rome I Regulation were discussed (Council of the European Union, 2008). This was done to evaluate labor protection in Jordan compared to the other countries. Attempts were made to raise the problem, delineate the ongoing situation in Jordan, and suggest suitable solutions. The analytical method, and the survey of judiciary literature and relevant legal documents showed labor protection in Jordan is not suitable. This is because the Jordanian judiciary is contradictory regarding the interpretation of occurrences related to determining the applicable law, for there are no clear, explicit legal provisions in this regard. It was also suggested that the Jordanian legislator intervenes to protect the labor and provides legal regulations on the application of law. This study has provided the fertile soil for beneficiaries to enhance labor protection to make it conform to international standards, and for future research to aim at this purpose, and deal with labor rights in remote work or work performed in more than one country.

The financial system is the crucial supporter of economic growth, as it is said to be the “blood” of economic activities. Many studies reveal the role and importance of the financial system in promoting economic development by raising growth through the accumulation and utilization of savings for productive investments (Levine, 2005). However, some studies highlight a negative or non-significant relationship which may differ depending on the sample of countries and the applied methodology, proxy of financial development, time period, etc. Based on the relevance of the topic and on the ongoing debate, the aim of this study is to explore the nexus and contribution of banking intermediation in the economic growth of some Central Eastern and South-Eastern European (CESEE) countries for the period 2010–2020. We use regression methods, ordinary least squares (OLS), and a fixed effect model to investigate the relationship between economic growth and bank intermediation. We measure the development of banking intermediation using banks’ credit to the private sector, credit to government and state-owned enterprises. The research results show that credits provided by banks do not affect economic growth and are in fact negatively related to economic growth, whereas the return on equity is positively related to economic growth.

We use regression methods, ordinary least squares (OLS), and a fixed effect model to investigate the relationship between economic growth and bank intermediation. We measure the development of banking intermediation using banks’ credit to the private sector, credit to government and state-owned enterprises. The research results show that credits provided by banks do not affect economic growth and are in fact negatively related to economic growth, whereas the return on equity is positively related to economic growth.","PeriodicalId":15974,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Governance and Regulation","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135660844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
