The study aimed to link cybersecurity awareness and its antecedents to discover the level of public value of using mobile financial services from the perspective of ‘citizens in the government context in Jordan. The quantitative approach was customized to serve the purposes of this study. A convenience sampling method was used based on 550 e-survey Jordanians from whom data were collected. A total of 449 responses were used in the analysis process. A structural equation model was specified to evaluate the developed research model. The results revealed that all hypotheses are accepted at less than P<0.001, cybersecurity awareness and predictions of financial services systems play a significant role in determining the use of financial services systems and generating the value of using financial services. Moreover, combining cybersecurity awareness with public value theory is an important approach to measure the performance of government institutions, especially in the financial services industry. Therefore, these results can be used to develop financial services and meet Jordanians’ requirements. Therefore, providing well-understood dimensions that influence the value of microfinance service use among Jordanians is a necessary process that probably ensures long-term sustainability of microfinance services. Finally, future efforts can explore the benefits and challenges of adopting digital transformation technologies in the public sector and financial services. Furthermore, the term government resilience is likely provided new insights to enhance public administration performance based on technology trends. Digital transformation, integrating government flexibility with the existing research model may influence the overall value of Mobile Fintech Services in Jordan.

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of fiscal policy and trade liberalization on Jordan's economic growth. Design/methodology/approach: The study used Augmented Dicky Fuller unit root tests and Kapetanios unit root tests with structural breaks for the empirical investigation. Findings: Government spending and taxation have a favourable influence on economic growth, according to the simulation results. Public debt has a negative but negligible effect on economic growth. Economic growth is significantly influenced by trade liberalisation. Research implications: The consequence is the proportion of spending on infrastructure and human resources should be increased by taxes financing rather than foreign loans. Improving the competitiveness of domestic industries is necessary for free trade to have a positive effect. Originality/value: This study is innovative due to the absence of research that addresses Fiscal Policy, Trade Openness and economic growth with the structural break in Jordan.

Adopting metaverse technology in the banking sector is generating considerable interest. Investigating customers’ behavior is considered a primary element in adopting metaverse technologies in banking settings. This study combines the Trust Theoretic Model, Task-Technology Fit Model, and theory of planned behavior to explore consumers’ intentions to adopt metaverse Islamic mobile banking services in Jordan. Based on the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach, the results using an electronic survey of 391 metaverse consumers among metaverse Islamic mobile banking services show that consumer trust based on its priors (perceived risk, perceived reputation, service quality, and perceived regulatory support) has a significant influence on consumer behavior intention at a significant P-value level (< 0.001). Furthermore, the results affirm that Task-Technology Fit plays a significant role in consumer behavior intention at a significant P-value level (< 0.001). Moreover, consumer behavior intention has a significant influence on consumers’ decision to adopt metaverse Islamic mobile banking services in Jordan at a significant P-value level (< 0.001). The findings of this study present critical insights for Islamic bank management in Jordan, assisting in developing their metaverse Islamic mobile banking, maintaining a strong relationship with consumers, and fostering consumer experiences.

This study aims to investigate the interconnections among total quality management, service quality, customer retention, and moderating influence of customer complaint handling within the healthcare industry of Jordan. The paper used a quantitative approach, by using PLS-SEM as an approach selected for data analysis. 417 valid replies were gathered. The results found a positive association between total quality management and service quality (p-value < 0.05), underscoring the significance of total quality management principles in improving the provision of healthcare services. The study demonstrates a significant correlation between service quality and customer retention, thereby validating the importance of delivering exceptional healthcare experiences in boosting customer retention. Moreover, it is imperative to acknowledge that the degree of service quality plays a crucial function in facilitating the connection between total quality management and customer retention (p-value < 0.05). Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that customer complaints handling serves as a mechanism for reducing the negative effects of service quality on customer retention. The results offer useful insights for healthcare managers in Jordan, underscoring the significance of integrating total quality management practice, improving service quality, and developing efficient procedures for handling complaints. These approaches are imperative in fortifying customer interactions and augmenting customer retention rates.

Type of the article: Research ArticleAbstract This study seeks to empirically evaluate the critical role of cybersecurity awareness and cloud computing capabilities in shaping value co-creation using cloud-based mobile fintech services of Islamic banks in Jordan from clients’ perspectives. By employing a quantitative methodology, 498 clients of Islamic banks completed the questionnaire for this study. The questionnaires were sent to clients who perform their financial activities by using cloud-based mobile fintech services from various Islamic banks in Jordan. Based on Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis, the results uncover that social engineering threats, password security, and social factors have a significant direct effect on cybersecurity awareness among customers of cloud-based mobile fintech services of Islamic banks in Jordan at a significant value level (P < .05, .01, and .001). The findings also confirm that cybersecurity awareness asserts a positive direct influence on both cloud-computing capabilities and value co-creation among customers of cloud-based mobile fintech services of Islamic banks in Jordan (P < .001). Finally, cloud-computing capabilities have a significant direct influence on value co-creation among customers of cloud-based mobile fintech services of Islamic banks in Jordan (P < .001). The results of the developed model of this study could be used to enhance the financial services of Jordanian Islamic banks, assist in producing new services, reinforce the development process of cloud-based mobile fintech services, and aid in developing cybersecurity awareness algorithms in this field.
