Abstract. Rural heritage tourism destination management is an essential knowledge area that should be investigated to achieve sustainable destination, especially for an emerging destination. The goal of this process is to ensure that these elements are thoroughly inspected and rigidly organized due to the main concepts, theories, methods and approaches mentioning different perspectives to tackle these certain elements. In order to cope with the complexity of the relation between the destination elements and its characteristics and sequence of the maturity of the selected destination, all that needs indepth knowledge to assist the researchers in developing and improving different types of approaches and tools, and in structuring and assessing the destination. We develop a neat backbone literature review concerning the all aspects of the sustainable rural heritage tourism destination. We review the existing methods, approaches and theories applied on the relative field, and further study the relevant challenges that have been the target of investigation in the academic literature. The paper is intended to be the newest and the most important existing study on the topic of rural heritage emerging tourism destination. The results are particularly relevant to practitioners seeking a better grasp on managing tourism destination as well as achieving sustainability in tourism destinations. As a major finding of the review, the results strongly suggest the need for more practitioner-oriented and industry-driven empirical studies in the area of flexible managerial framework to cope with special and dynamic characteristics of different tourism destinations.
Information and communication technologies (ICT) have been implemented mainly in government organizations, where e-government has become prevalent. The previous research focuses mostly on e-government adoption from the perspective of citizens. However, there is a scarcity of research conducted from the viewpoint of the employee. This study tried to identify and predict the factors that influence an employee to adopt technology implemented at the workplace by focusing on acceptance technology theories. The unified theory of acceptance and usage of technology (UTAUT) and Task-technology fit (TTF) using relevant findings in this review. The attempt to conduct a comprehensive explanation and analysis of the existing literature up to 2018, to understand the current situation of e-government implementation. Reviewing procedures were done by reviewing articles on e-government and related work by using indexing databases “web of science & Scopus. Finally, the results of this paper are the factors that make employees directly or indirectly adopt e-government.
This paper aims to investigate the effect innovation barriers has on the innovation orientation in the Syrian construction firms in the period of the war years. The effect of 8 different barriers were investigated: Technical, Financial, Process, Psychological, Management, Culture, Environmental and Governmental barriers. Questionnaire data were collected from a sample of 306 architects and Civil engineers from large, small and medium sized construction firms, which operated in Syria within the past 6 years of the war. The results from total sample community confirmed only 9 hypotheses out of 16, confirming the full significant effect of the Technical, Financial, Process and Psychological Barriers had on both innovation orientations-(Creation & Adoption), Whereas, environmental Barrier significant effect only on the Creation innovation orientation. This paper illustrates the assessment of the measurement and structural model using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling PLS-SEM (Warp PLS 6.0 software). The study contributes theoretically and methodologically to the innovation barriers literature in specific and innovation literature in general. Moreover, the result can assist the local firms and authorities in understanding the barriers structure and guide them for future developments and improvements that are disparately needed for the era of the rebuilding the country after the war.
