The study aimed at identifying the impact of strategic agility in enhancing the entrepreneurial orientation at Palestinian public universities. To achieve this, the descriptive analytical method was adopted, and a questionnaire was used to collect data from the study sample, which consisted of (194) respondents who were selected by the complete census method. The sample represented all the staff in the supervisory jobs among Palestinian public universities (Al Istiqlal University, Palestine Technical University–Kadoorie, Al- Aqsa University). The jobs covered vice president and his assistants, dean, vice dean, manager, the head of department. The study results revealed that the Palestinian Universities are generally concerned with practicing dimensions of the strategic agility and the entrepreneurial orientation at a high degree. There was a statistically significant difference (α < 0.05) of practicing the dimensions of the strategic agility to promote the entrepreneurial orientation for the Palestinian public universities. The most effective dimensions of strategic agility on the entrepreneurial orientation were partnership of responsibility, technology, resource liquidity and substantial assets. On the other hand, there were no statistically significant differences (α < 0.05) of the strategic sensitivity dimension on promoting entrepreneurial orientation. The study recommended adopting all dimensions of strategic agility as a work methodology for Palestinian Public Universities in order to strengthen the entrepreneurial orientation, considering all the elements that support it.

The study aimed to identify the degree of applying processes of knowledge management at colleges of educational sciences in private Jordanian universities in the Capital Governorate from the perspective of faculty members, and the effect of gender, academic rank and experience variables on the degree of application. To achieve this, the analytical descriptive survey method was used, and a questionnaire was developed and included (25) items, covering three dimensions: knowledge generation, knowledge storage, knowledge transfer, and knowledge application. The questionnaire was distributed to as ample of (77) faculty members in the college of educational sciences in private universities in the capital governorate (Al-Zaytouna, the Middle East, Al-Isra and Petra) during the academic year 2018/2019. The results showed that the degree of application of knowledge management processes by colleges in the field of knowledge generation and knowledge transfer were medium (2.07) and (1.91), while the degree of application in the two fields of knowledge application and knowledge generation was low with means of (1.64) and (1.40). Results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences at (α<0.05) on all domains of knowledge management attributed to the variable of sex. There were statistically significant differences at (α<05.0) for the domains of knowledge management processes, all attributable to the variable of academic rank. However, there were no statistically significant differences at (α<05.0) in the degree of applying knowledge management processes among faculty members attributed to the variable of experience in all majors. It can be concluded that the degree of applying knowledge management processes at Colleges of Educational Sciences in private Jordanian universities in the Capital Governorate varied between medium and low. Therefore, the study recommended that knowledge management processes be adopted by Jordanian private universities in the Capital Governorate.

The study aimed to identify the effectiveness of the Blackboard elements during Coronavirus pandemic in light of the quality assurance and accreditation standards from the viewpoint of faculty members at the Mathematics Department, Umm Al-Qura University. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive analytical method was used. The study sample consisted of (45) members of the teaching staff in the mathematics departments of Umm Al-Qura University, who taught mathematics courses during Coronavirus pandemic. The questionnaire, which consisted of (33) items, was used to collect relevant data. The results of the study indicated that the effectiveness of the four components of the Blackboard that were studied during the Corona pandemic in light of the standards of quality assurance and accreditation was at a medium degree of (3.32), while the effectiveness component of cloud storage on the Blackboard got the highest score (3.68). The effectiveness component of the digital library on the Blackboard got the lowest score among the four elements (3.11). These results suggested the need to increase attention to the requirements of achieving quality assurance and work to raise them in higher education institutions for interactive mathematics courses, as the lack of interest in them may have affected the results and outcomes of mathematics students. The study concluded with a number of recommendations, including supporting the elements of the Blackboard and using them in the educational process, developing and evaluating them in the light of quality standards; conducting further studies on the use of the Blackboard; providing all facilities for the success of the educational process; and seeking to achieve quality and accreditation requirements whenever possible.

The study aimed to explore the obstacles to applying the principle of disclosure and transparency in higher education institutions in private universities in the Sultanate of Oman. The qualitative method was used through in-depth interview as a tool to reveal the opinions of the study sample about the obstacles to applying the principle of disclosure and transparency in private universities, Oman. The sample consisted of (12) individuals from the administrative leaders in the universities under study. The study results reported a number of obstacles to the application of disclosure and transparency in Omani private universities, where (83%) of the sample agreed that there was weak disclosure transparency in the university's budget and the spending items. In addition, (50%) of the sample agreed that there was weakness of credibility and transparency when applying policies, internal work controls, subjective evaluation of the employee’s performance by his direct manager, and weak awareness of the importance of disclosure and transparency among managers. Therefore, the study recommended activating disclosure and transparency mechanisms in private universities in Oman by adding the principle of disclosure and transparency as an independent measure within the standard of governance and management to obtain institutional accreditation, and by providing electronic systems with integrated services and functions.

This study aimed to investigate the present situation of the Libyan accounting research by assessing the availability of appropriate characteristics in its three components (research - researcher - research environment). To achieve this, the descriptive method was followed, and (75) questionnaires were distributed in electronic and paper form to a random sample of faculty members in the accounting departments of the Faculties of Economics in the universities of Tripoli, Zawiya and Sabratha, but (57) questionnaires were valid for statistical analysis using the (SPSS) program. Major findings revealed the availability of the characteristics of research in the published Libyan accounting research, as well as the availability of the characteristics of researchers in the Libyan accounting researcher with means of (3.126) and (3.175) respectively. Further, findings showed lack of appropriate research environment characteristics in the Libyan accounting research environment. The study recommended improving the characteristics of accounting research by setting conditions for writing and publishing accounting research, coordinating lists of scientific journals in which it can be published, and supporting the accounting researcher by reducing their teaching burden, activating sabbaticals and preparing specialized training programs to develop their research skills. In addition, independent and sufficient budgets for accounting research should be allocated to create an environment for scientific accounting research.

This study aimed to identify the role of talent management in developing institutional performance in technical colleges in Gaza Strip. To achieve the study objective, the descriptive analytical approach was used. The study population consisted of workers in supervisory positions in technical colleges in the Gaza Strip, where 5 colleges of 112 employees were included in the study. For selecting the study sample, the complete census method was used due to the small size of the study population. To collect data, questionnaires were distributed to the study sample, but 109 forms were returned (97.3%). The results of the study showed a significant degree of agreement in the dimensions of talent management in the technical colleges in Gaza Strip of a relative weight 71.70%. There was also a significant degree of agreement in the dimension of institutional performance of a relative weight 75.89%. There was also a statistically significant relationship between the dimensions of talent management and the development of institutional performance in technical colleges from the point of view of workers in supervisory positions. Further, there was a statistically significant effect at the level of significance (0.05 ≥α) between the dimensions of talent management (communication with talented workers, empowering, attracting and maintaining them) and developing institutional performance in the technical colleges in Gaza Strip; other variables had a weak impact. The study recommended that talented workers should be given more independence and empowerment and more opportunities to participate in decision-making regarding work. Attention should also be paid to infrastructure and technology, and the allocation of resources, both financial and human in order to contribute to the development of institutional performance in technical colleges. Keywords: talent Management, institutional performance, technical colleges.

Attention should also be paid to infrastructure and technology, and the allocation of resources, both financial and human in order to contribute to the development of institutional performance in technical colleges. \u0000Keywords: talent Management, institutional performance, technical colleges.","PeriodicalId":300044,"journal":{"name":"The Arab Journal For Quality Assurance in Higher Education","volume":"323 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133711361","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}
