Abstract
Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) are being used with increasing frequency in organizations. However, there is relatively little research on developing models enables an understanding of HRIS success. This study provides a structure for understanding HRIS success and explores the impact of both HRIS quality on HRIS satisfaction, HRIS usefulness and HRIS ease of use.
The detailed framework is the first rigorous research step towards understanding the important confluence
of two powerful streams of IS success models on HRIS. The framework we built from theory and empirical research provides a foundation for future research..

Abstract
This research designed to theoretically address and empirically examine research issues related to the question of what factors impact electronic government acceptance by Jordanian employees. Drawing from previous studies, we hypothesized seven constructs (i.e., System Quality, Information Quality, Perceived Ease of Use, and perceived ease of use) that may influence an Employee’s acceptance of electronic government. Two hundred questionnaires were distributed to employees at a municipality in Jordan. Multiple regressions were used to analyze the data. The results of this study show that System Quality, Information Quality, and Perceived Ease of Use, all have significant effect on electronic government acceptance. Practical implications are discussed.

Experiences of E-Commerce Use and Perceptions of Export Barriers among
Jordanian Businesses

ABSTRACT
This study investigates the Electronic Commerce (EC) usage profile of services and industrial companies in Jordan as well as the factors affecting their willingness to EC usage. The study draws on the data obtained from a sample of 112 firms who were a´priori identified as being involved in direct exporting, yielding 60 useable questionnaires being returned. It was discovered that the most useful EC applications in exporting are: EC websites, online show rooms, online payments, e-banking transactions, videoconferencing, as well as online meetings. The major export barriers are: fears of intense competition of foreign markets, lack of experience in exporting, lack of time management of that time devoted to export matters, and lack of security of online payments. The analysis shows that EC made it feasible for firms to undertake significant export opportunities and get faster, cheaper and easier access to world markets. Industrial companies were more concerned about the lack of security of online payments than people in service firms. Industrial  companies consider online meeting to be more useful for exporting activities and they were less concerned about the
dependency on foreign agents.
