This study attempts to comprehend factors influencing nurses' continuance intention to use electronic health records (EHR) system in Jordan since they as the key service providers in healthcare services are main users of the system. Their acceptance and usage of the system are imperative to evaluate the system's implementation success. A cross-sectional survey is conducted on the fully implemented EHR system public hospitals. Study framework is based on the extended model of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and top management support (TMS). Results reveal effort expectancy, performance expectancy and facilitating conditions positively influence nurses' continuance intention to use and top management support as significant and negatively related to nurses' continuance intention to use. Results also disclose relationship between social influence and continuance intention to use as not significant. Multi-group analysis result indicates stronger relationship between effort expectancy and continuance intention to use is evident to ward nurses than special unit nurses. Findings confirm on the necessity to support new technologies specifically EHR system in hospitals and contributes to UTAUT theory through revealing the impact of top management support on continuance intention to use and establishing relevant measurement accuracy of study framework in Jordanian context.

This study examines nurses’ Continuance Intention (CI) to use electronic health records (EHRs) through a combination of three conceptual frameworks: the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), the theory of expectation-confirmation (ECT), and the Five-Factor Model (FFM). A model is developed to examine and predict the determinants of nurses’ CI to use EHRs, including top management support (TMS) and the FFM’s five personality domains. Data were collected from a survey of 497 nurses, which were analyzed using partial least squares. No significant relationship was found between TMS and CI. The study revealed that performance expectancy significantly mediated the influences of two different hypotheses of two predictors: agreeableness and openness to testing CI. A significant moderating impact of conscientiousness was found on the relationship between performance expectancy and CI and the relationship between social influence and CI. The findings of this study indicated that rigorous attention to the personality of individual nurses and substantial TMS could improve nurses’ CI to use EHRs. A literature gap was filled concerning the mediating effects of performance expectancy on the FFM-CI relationship, and the moderation effects of Conscientiousness on UTAUT constructs and CI are another addition to the literature. The results are expected to assist government agencies, health policymakers, and health institutions all over the globe in their attempts to understand the post-adoption use of EHRs.

Drawing upon the assumptions of job demands-resources (JDR) and Adams equity theories, this paper assesses the effect of perceived stress (PS), organisational justice (OJ), and self-efficacy (SE) as mediator on life satisfaction among academics of public universities. Cross-sectional design was used among 293 academics of public universities in the North-Western Nigeria in the survey. Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) technique was used to ascertain the reliability and validity of outer model, and tested the formulated hypotheses. Results of analyses supported the hypothesised direct associations between PS and life satisfaction; OJ and life satisfaction; and self-efficacy and life satisfaction of academics respectively. Also, analyses confirmed that self-efficacy intervened the relationships between PS and life satisfaction; and OJ and life satisfaction of academics. Enhancing optimal life satisfaction of academics, authorities of the institutions should give prominent consideration to promote self-efficacy of academics. Theoretical, practical contributions and future research focus were discussed.

Mental health is a universal issue nowadays, and poor mental health is detrimental to any individual's optimal health and well-being. Instead of keeping up with mental health, most civilization encounters the opposite continuum of mental health, a.k.a. mental illness. Unfortunately, mental health issues are more intense during the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on public organizations and public servants more severe while rendering their social services to the Malaysian citizens despite the danger of the pandemic to them and their family’s well-being. Hence to cure the disease, manifold ways and means are presented. Most public servants are Malay Muslims and hence recommended treatments are originated from Islam teachings, thus proposing the Islamic Mental Health model to improve their mental health during this intense situation is proper. The model emphasizes on fulfilling the deeds of habluminallah and habluminannas. Habluminannas complements habluminallah as the formation of a complete mental health model from Islamic perspective. Habluminallah focuses on the person's relationship to his Creator, while habluminannas focuses on the person's relationship with others. These two types of morals, that is morals to Allah (habluminallah) which is indicated by the command that Muslims must establish a good relationship with Allah by not associating Allah with others and Muslims also must show morals toward fellow human beings (habluminannas) shown by the command to do good to both parents, close relatives, orphans, poor people, near neighbors and distant neighbors, peers, people on the way, and servants. Habluminallah and habluminannas are two sides of a coin that cannot be separated. The two are the foundation of comprehensive mental health in Islam. So Islam encourages its people to practice both worshiping of the Creator as well as encourages social relations, such as paying attention to the fates of the weak. Even if referred to the pillars of Islam, there is a combination of habluminallah and habluminannas, a combination of vertical and horizontal relations.

The objectives of this study were to (1) explore the entrepreneurial thinking of public higher learning institutions (PHLIs) students in Malaysia base on their field of study; (2) identify whether there are significant differences in students’ entrepreneurial thinking based on their field of study at PHLIs. This study uses a quantitative approach. The study sample consisted of 2001 undergraduate students from 20 PHLIs in Malaysia. The sample consisted of students in all fields of study which were classified into seven groups, namely literature and social sciences, technical and engineering, information and communication technology, science, education, business, and others. Descriptive statistical methods and one-way ANOVA tests were used to analyze the study data. The results showed that students from all fields of study had an overall medium-high level of entrepreneurial thinking with a mean score of 3.910 and a standard deviation of 0.473. The field of business studies has the highest mean scores, while technical and engineering studies have the lowest mean scores. In addition, this study found significant differences in entrepreneurial thinking of PHLIs students based on their field of study. The results of the Tukey HSD test found that three groups of studies had significant differences with the business study group, namely literature and social sciences, technical and engineering studies groups, and science groups. Implications from this study show that overall the PHLIs can foster entrepreneurial thinking to a high level among students in all fields of study by introducing entrepreneurship education with an entrepreneurial mindset. These include elements of the ability to identify opportunities, creative and innovative, risk-taking, and tolerance for ambiguity. Nurturing entrepreneurial thinking to PHLIs students can provide and realize their entrepreneurial career aspirations as a career choice or as an alternative career after their graduation. Nurturing entrepreneurial thinking to PHLIs students can give students two career options when they graduate, either realizing their entrepreneurial career aspirations as their preferred career or choosing an entrepreneurial career as an alternative career.
