“…The inclusion of the main effects (board composition & ownership concentration variables) in models 2 and 5 of Table 4 increases the explanatory power of variance in bank performance (∆R 2 = 0.05 *** , ∆R 2 = 0.06 *** ). The results reveal a significant positive association between board composition variables and bank performance, which is largely consistent with theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence (e.g., Al Farooque et al, 2019;Hamdan et al, 2019;Latif et al, 2020). On the other hand, ownership concentration has a negative impact on bank performance, which is in line with prior evidence ((e.g., Buallay et al, 2017;Hamdan, 2018).…”

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the potential effect of ownership concentration on the relationship between board composition and bank performance. The study employs a sample of Saudi banks listed on Saudi stock exchange (TADAUWL) over the period from 2011 to 2018. To test the study hypotheses and control for endogeneity issues, the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) and the Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) techniques are used. The empirical results reveal a significant negative moderating effect of ownership concentration on the association between board composition and bank performance, which confirms the study argument and supports hypotheses. The results indicate that board composition in terms of independent board members, executive board members, and non-executive board members in banks with higher ownership concentration have a weaker positive influence on bank performance. For control variables, the results are almost consistent with theoretical perspectives and previous empirical evidence. The results of this study have important implications for regulatory authorities, companies, and market participants in Saudi Arabia and countries with high concentrated ownership to understand how ownership concentration could affect corporate governance and firm performance and to identify appropriate actions to protect board composition from the influence of ownership concentration.

“…However, to achieve this, the hierarchical structure in the organization, that is, the supra-top relation, must be fully established. Knowledge sharing includes two or more intermediaries and has a source and destination (Hamdan et al, 2019). Therefore, providing knowledge sharing in a healthy way is important for the strategic success of the organization.…”

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationships between leadership effectiveness, knowledge sharing behavior, business performance, firm strategy, and firm performance. In this study, to reveal the relationships, statistical analyses were applied to the data collected using one-to-one questionnaire techniques while the relationships between the variables were tried to be revealed. In this study, the importance of knowledge sharing behavior and the positive effects of both independent variable and mediator variable on the organization are emphasized. In addition, the positive effect of leadership effectiveness and knowledge sharing behavior on work performance, firm strategy, and firm performance variables was detected. Analysis was made using LISREL, IBM SPSS 23 software program, and SPSS PROCESS V.3 add-in, and confirmatory and explanatory factor analysis and reliability analysis were performed on questions using Likert-type scale. In the analysis of the relationships between variables in the correlation menu of the main menus of SPSS Program, the regression menu was used to test the hypotheses and to reveal the mediation variable effect of the PROCESS V.3 add-in. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed by LISREL program.

“…Despite the importance of information systems in implementing decisions properly and effectively, several studies have indicated the lack of benefit from information systems in the public institutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through the presence of some obstacles that prevent the use of information systems (Albadri, 2019;AlBar & Hoque, 2019). These obstacles lie in the lack of trained manpower capable of dealing with modern technology, the availability of appropriate software and systems for management, the lack of sufficient equipment, the absence of a computer network for the site, the lack of permanent maintenance, and the lack of training programs that carry out the process of qualifying and training these cadres (Alshuaibi, 2017;Alshumaimri et al, 2017;Hamdan et al, 2019).…”

“…). Hamdan et al (2019) concluded that the use of information technology improves the performance of Saudi employees as this technology contributes greatly to the development of employees and improve their level of performance. There is also an urgent need to increase the participation of the national workforce in the field of information technology, and the lack of national competencies in this field is a problem that must be resolved (Al-Shammari & El-Sawy, 2020).…”

Information systems are currently used in all organizations due to their effectiveness in the implementation of administrative decisions. This study attempted to examine availability of information systems infrastructure, the impact of information systems on enhancing the procedures of the implementation of administrative decisions, and the obstacles that hinder the use of information systems to implement administrative decisions at Tabuk University in Saudi Arabia. In order to achieve these goals, the researcher used the descriptive analytical approach and used the questionnaire instrument in order to collect the data from the research sample. Population of the study comprised all the administrative employees at Tabuk University. The researcher distributed (325) questionnaires on the research sample and (252) questionnaires were put for study. The findings of the study showed that Tabuk University have a good infrastructure of information system that fit the work requirements and that help the employees to get accurate and timely reports. Also, the findings showed that the information systems have a robust role in enhancing the procedures of the implementation of the administrative decisions in terms of the availability of accurate, correct, and timely data to implement the administrative decisions properly. On the other hand, it was shown that there are obstacles for the use of information systems to implement administrative decisions such as the inappropriate organizational structures, lack of training, routine procedures, lack of funds to update the systems regularly, and employees’ resistance. Based on these results, the researcher recommended having a proper organizational structure that support information systems, holding regular training courses for the employees, motivating employees to avoid resistance, and ensuring the allocation of resources to get the new modern systems.
