It also examines the impact of Facebook continuance intention on addiction and the mediating role of security concerns on the relationship between them. A structural equation modeling technique was used to analyse data obtained based on a convenience sample from 296 Facebook users in Jordan. Results showed an acceptable fit of the model. The influence of perceived values on continuance intention was confirmed based on findings. However, no similar significant effect was found for trust. A significant effect of continuance intention on Facebook addiction was found but not for security concerns. The contrasting findings represent a challenge and a possible opportunity for future research and practitioners. The research discusses different theoretical and professional contributions and outlines the implications arising from the research model.","PeriodicalId":36543,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Data and Network Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70775313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants in this research are managers from the middle and high echelons of the Greater Amman Municipality, who were responsible for making decisions in their respective divisions. One hundred and eighty middle and upper-level managers with at least eight years' experience in public service were recruited for this study from the Greater Amman Municipality. Distributed questionnaires and the deliberate sampling technique were used to compile this data. Decision making had a positive effect on the business process performance, and the results of hypothesis testing data processing using Structural Equation Model indicated that digital transformation, digital leadership, and the motivation of the business environment all had positive and significant effects on business decision making and business process performance in the Greater Amman Municipality. To conduct their research, the authors opted to focus on digital transformation, which includes four primary components: process transformation, business model change, domain transformation, and cultural transformation. The following dimensions commander, communicator, collaborator, and co-creator were all indicative of digital leadership. Entrepreneurial motivation could be seen in the word’s communication, hassle-free work environment, mastering the art of constructive criticism, and trust among others. The novel aspect of this study is the model developed to explain the interplay between digital transformation, digital leadership, and entrepreneurial motivation, and how these factors influence business decision making and business process performance at Greater Amman Municipality.","PeriodicalId":36543,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Data and Network Science","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70775991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Perceived ease of use and usefulness influenced consumers' intentions but not the decision to use Sharia-based e-wallets. Thus, intention does not necessarily describe actual behavior. Consumers feel that the Sharia-based e-wallet is not as easy and useful as other e-wallets they mostly use, like Go-pay, Shopee-pay, and OVO.

Security is the main challenge to any operating system. Android malware attacks and vulnerabilities are known as emerging risks for mobile devices. The development of Android malware has been observed to be at an accelerated speed. Most Android security breaches permitted by permission misuse are amongst the most critical and prevalent issues threatening Android OS security. This research performs several studies on malware and non-malware applications to provide a recently updated dataset. The goal of proposed models is to find a combination of noise-cleaning algorithms, features selection techniques, and classification algorithms that are noise-tolerant and can achieve high accuracy results in detecting new Android malware. The results from the empirical experiments show that the proposed models are able to detect Android malware with an accuracy that reaches 87%, despite the noise in the dataset. We also find that the best classification results are achieved using the RF algorithm. This work can be extended in many ways by applying higher noise ratios and running more classifiers and optimizers.","PeriodicalId":36543,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Data and Network Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70780068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Underwater diving is one of the most interesting and attractive activities for tourists worldwide but could be risky and challenging. When paths are not clear, diving might take additional time and effort leading to some health problems. Thus, providing divers with proper direction information to surf underwater can be useful and helpful. Also, monitoring diverse health statuses and alerting them in case of any undesirable condition can increase their safety. Smart devices such as mobiles, watches, sensor devices, cellular networks along with the Internet of Things (IoT) can all provide location-based services. Such services can help in providing the best path for the divers and monitor their health status during diving. This paper proposes a new underwater routing approach, called Underwater Routing for Smart Diving “URSD”, which provides divers with routing information to visit underwater cultural or natural resources and monitors their health status during the diving period. The URSD approach was simulated and compared with the shortest path. Results showed that the URSD helped divers to route within paths that have a larger number of nodes, furthermore, it could enhance and improve divers experience and help them mitigate underwater risks.","PeriodicalId":36543,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Data and Network Science","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135784016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to review the latest research regarding changes in corporate governance with the adoption of IT governance and blockchain. A computerized multi-database literature search was conducted in January–March 2022, using the ScienceDirect and Emerald search engines. The terms “corporate governance”, “IT governance”, and “blockchain” were entered in the descriptor fields, with “language” limited to English and “source” limited to peer-reviewed journal articles. The implementation of good corporate governance will reduce the company's risk and protect investors. Technological advances can be used to develop better IT governance by making information transparent and adopting technological advances to support the implementation of good corporate governance. Under a blockchain framework, corporate governance might evolve in a variety of ways. There are several advantages to issuing and trading corporate securities on blockchains, but there are also certain drawbacks connected to increased ownership transparency. Businesses would seek out board members and outside advisors with various skill sets, and crucial issues like managerial incentives would probably change to account for the shifting character of corporate securities.","PeriodicalId":36543,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Data and Network Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70770996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
