“…Furthermore, absorptive capacity moderated the correlation between entrepreneurial orientation and project management success, and this correlation became larger and more powerful with the mere existence of absorptive capacity. Abdulrab et al (2021) explored the influence of strategic orientations in mediating the correlation between entrepreneurial orientation and efficient implementation in Saudi SMEs. The research findings revealed that KSA SME management teams should maintain an intense focus on entrepreneurial behavior and develop a unique business strategy approach to achieve overall effectiveness.…”

The primary objective of this research is to establish the extent to which small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in the Ha’il region benefit from a significant competitive advantage brought about by an entrepreneurial mindset (innovativeness, proactiveness, risk-taking, competitive aggressiveness, and autonomy). To achieve these objectives, the study used a questionnaire to collect data. A total of 220 SMEs in the Ha’il region were surveyed. The participants completed an online self-administered survey and used the PLS-SEM technique. The researchers found a robust link between differentiation advantage and higher levels of innovativeness, proactiveness, risk-taking, competitive aggression, and autonomy. In addition, the outcomes of the survey reveal that a greater cost advantage is substantially associated with vastly greater innovativeness, proactiveness, risk-taking, and competitive aggression overall. However, cost advantage is not strongly correlated with autonomy. These findings are significant because they shed new light on how competitive advantages are formed through the entrepreneurial orientation of entrepreneurs in the Ha’il region. This is a significant theoretical contribution to the literature on entrepreneurial orientation, specifically in the context of SMEs. The findings may also be valuable in supporting SMEs in being successful by enhancing their competitiveness, as SMEs are key contributors to the development and growth of the economy.

Yemeni government institutions continue to lag behind other countries in terms of effectiveness. The emphasis in this study is on rewards systems. The work environment that influences staff performance through staff satisfaction in Yemeni press institutions was identified. The current study can be viewed as an empirical attempt to connect a variety of topics. The proposed multidimensional model includes rewards; the working environment as a control variable; employee satisfaction as a potential mediator factor; and employee performance as a predictor variable. The survey information was retrieved from 200 participants using a standard survey questionnaire of Yemen's general public press institutions. To continue investigating the correlation between different variables in the proposed theoretical framework model, a quantitative measurement model that also included EFA, CFA, and SEM was also used. The findings of this analysis revealed that the data may have fit the revised conceptual model, and the multivariate regression analysis revealed the aforementioned essential characteristics: it influences staff satisfaction and staff performance. Staff satisfaction is positively influenced by reward systems and the working environment, and staff performance is positively influenced by staff satisfaction. Employee satisfaction is indeed essential in mediating the correlation between employee performance and organizational success; reward systems; as well as working conditions. The suggested conceptual framework model is estimated to account for 66% of the variation in effective employee performance as well as 74% of the variation in employee job satisfaction. The findings shed light on the factors that could improve staff performance in Yemen's public press institutions.

“…Different analytical tools and applications were used to code the data and extract knowledge (Tables 2 and 3, Figures 3-5), including the correlation matrix, composite reliability, Cronbach's alpha, and bootstrapping. The variables were mined with Smart-PLS3 [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59]. After correlating data and variables and verifying the model's reliability, we designed three regression models assuming this hypothesis was not rejected.…”

This research investigates blockchain technology, focusing on the influence of motivation on collaborative work, which positively influences learning performance in Higher Education Institutions (HEI). In addition, blockchain technology is correlated with decentralisation, security and integrity, and anonymity and encryption. It can also be perceived as a consensus mechanism, rewarding students, professors, and universities as a smart contract. Therefore, this technology has been used to improve higher education. It also allows less informed people to interact with better-informed peers and mentors. Finally, this study aims to enhance the current state of blockchain applications comprehension. The methodology used for this research includes document analysis, literature review, content analysis (blockchain platforms), the case study method, and the survey method. In statistical considerations, aiming to evaluate indicators, this research presents the Composite Reliability Analysis, Cronbach Alpha Coefficients, and the Bootstrapping method (Variance Inflation Factor). All these analyses aimed to present a designed research model. This exploratory research gathered data from 150 students at 3 universities in Serbia, Romania, and Portugal. As demonstrated, using student motivation has a significant and positive impact on the quality of student collaborative work. Student collaborative work also correlates with students’ higher level of engagement in the educational process, and the more engaged students are, the better their learning outcomes will be. As a result, in higher education, student involvement boosted learning outcomes. Researchers found that motivation, teamwork, and student involvement were important factors in improving student learning outcomes, as were blockchain-based tools. The results from the quantitative analysis indicate that Collaborative work, Motivation, Engagement, MOOCs, AR, VR, Gamification, and Online class were associated with learning performance.
