The proposed model was tested on a sample of 336 frontline employees working in the banking sector in Jordan.Findings: the testing of several hypothetical relationships between internal CSR and employee engagement revealed that all the relationships were significant. Moreover, it shows that CSR practices are not highly adopted within the banking sector in Jordan. Only one dimension of internal CSR, namely work life balance as being less adopted compared with the other four dimensions of internal CSR. The impact of internal CSR practices on OE was greater as compared with that of JE. This implies that internal CSR practices could predict employees' OE stronger than their JE.Practical implications/originality/value: The study has made significant contributions to the body of knowledge at academic and practical levels by extending knowledge regarding the impact of CSR particularly internal CSR on employee attitude and behavior. Also through examining the impact of various dimensions of internal CSR on two dimensions of EE in a developing countries business environment, the banking sector in Jordan. Specifically, this study answers the call by many researchers for more studies to address the relationship between CSR activities and organizational performance in emerging economies.

A rigorous understanding of the use of Smartphones for foreign language vocabulary acquisition is crucial. Employing the technology acceptance model, this study aims to investigate students’ behavioural factors affecting Saudi students’ attitudes towards employing Smartphones for foreign vocabulary acquisition. Two hundred and seventy-three students studying in a preparatory year programme were surveyed. SmartPLS was employed to analyse the data obtained from the study’s sample. The results revealed that perceived usefulness and attitude proved to be significantly and positively related to vocabulary development. In addition, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use proved to be significant predictors of students’ attitudes towards the use of Smartphone for vocabulary learning. However, the study showed that the relationship between perceived ease of use and vocabulary development is not significant. Thus, publishers of dictionaries may find it necessary to take into account the important role played by the design of dictionaries interfaces in facilitating the use of dictionaries in Smartphones. Furthermore, teachers and educators are encouraged to employ creative activities (e.g., word guessing games) that invest students’ use of Smartphones to learn vocabularies. Using Smartphones in learning improves interaction among students and teachers. Discussion and conclusions are also provided.

This study examined the intention to use E-learning among EFL learners. A total of 147 English language learners responded to the survey, these students have access to E-learning system.
