PurposeThis empirical paper aims to examine the impact of interest rate (IR) and political instability (POLINS) on Palestine's domestic private investment.Design/methodology/approachA set of econometric techniques of time series data are adopted to meet the study objectives. They include regression analysis, unit root tests, cointegration test, ARDL & Bound tests, VAR test and Granger causality test.FindingsThe study's primary results complement the neoclassical approach, which states that the IR is negatively associated with domestic private investment. The empirical results reveal that there is no long-run relationship. Also, there is no causality between domestic investment and lending rates. Accordingly, these findings alert policymakers to draw a series of steps to minimize the IR at a minimum to stimulate investment for improved economic growth and development.Practical implicationsThere is still no national currency in Palestine. The Palestinian Monetary Authority (PMA) is advised to set an appropriate ratio of the IR for the currencies-in-circulation in Palestine for boosting investment and economic development.Originality/valueThis paper provides new background information to both policymakers and researchers on the main determinants of investment in Palestine using econometric analysis. Accordingly, this critical issue is required to be examined in Palestine for stimulating investment.
This study attempts to identify the impact of system quality and information quality on crisis management in Jordanian mobile telecommunication companies. A survey method was applied through a questionnaire. Zain, Orange and Umniah are Jordanian mobile telecommunications companies that are working in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. A sample of 80 managers participated in this study. The data was analyzed by a descriptive statistics method using the statistical package of social sciences (SPSS). The results showed a strong statistical significant effect of system quality and information quality on crisis management in the targeted telecommunication companies. The study concluded that 85.3 % of the variation in crisis management are explained by both (system quality & information quality) This is an high percentage which illustrates the importance of (system quality & information quality) and their impact on crisis management. The study recommends paying more attention and focus on studying the different factors of quality measurement in information systems and their impact on crisis management.
These days, businesses are conscious that they cannot carry on without being aware of environmental problems. Firms generally face more limited natural resources, and must develop new or alternative ways of marketing. This is how green marketing comes into view, as it looks at how marketing activities utilize those limited resources while satisfying consumers' wants― both of individuals and industry― as well as achieving the organization's objectives.
The general purpose of this study is to discuss the impact of green marketing strategies on green consumer behaviour in Jordan. This study used the quantitative method to gather accessible data from the study sample. The variables present in this study are marketing mix (product, place, price, promotion), and green consumer behaviour. The Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach as a statistical method was used to analyse the data. The population of the study is 2000 daytime visitors of a traditional day in two Amman malls, from which a sample of 500 randomly distributed questionnaires was analysed, according to 32 items. Results indicated that three out of four variables had a statistically significant relationship to green consumer behaviour. The exception was for the green price factor, which did not show a discernible statistical impact.
