Digital health technologies (DHT) have become an integral component of modern healthcare systems, offering the potential to improve delivery and outcomes. Guided by Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, this study examines impact DHT adoption on workers' performance workload in public private hospitals Mogadishu, Somalia. A stratified random sampling approach was used collect data from 286 workers hospitals. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) test hypotheses assess direct mediating relationships among variables. The analysis revealed that significantly improves respectively (β = 0.452, C.R. 10.150, p < 0.001) 0.594, 9.972, 0.001), organizational environmental factors are positively impacting 0.327, 8.709, 0.102, 2.872, 0.004). Healthcare reduces role between also confirmed 0.281, 5.9787, 0.001). findings underscore critical enhancing reducing workload, with TOE framework acting as significant mediators. These results provide actionable insights for administrators policymakers optimize implementation, support workforce efficiency, address challenges through strategic adaptations.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the variables that could contribute facilitating or hindering FinTech adoption in Jordan and how will affect human well-being (quality of life [QoL]). Design/methodology/approach A conceptual framework was formulated through integration “the unified theory acceptance use technology” (UTAUT), “task-technology fit” (TTF) model two additional factors, namely, “financial literacy” (FL) “quality life” (QoL). cross-sectional online survey used obtain data from 378 users employing a quantitative method. AMOS 26.0 utilized analyse based on “structural equation modelling” (SEM). Findings The analysis structural path found UTAUT constructs including “performance expectancy (PE), effort (EE), conditions (FC), social influence (SI)”, TTF were significant determinants adoption. Only technology characteristics (TECH) predictor TTF. Also, empirical revealed mediating impact association between FL QoL, underlining important role digital digitalizing societies. Likewise, affected QoL directly. Practical implications research be beneficial for “FinTech service providers” (FSPs) policymakers offer thorough insights regarding current relatively low rates FinTech, contributing strategies’ formulation promote usage by Jordanian customers, where is still considered an innovative technology. In addition, needs integrate literacy utilize state-of-the-art technologies more effective financial management. with being able make decisions management outcomes which result better QoL. Originality/value To best author’s knowledge, this first integrates models also adds constructs, setting. study literature IT considering incorporation into individuals’ Jordan.

Purpose This study aims to identify the factors influencing blockchain adoption and assess its impact on financial market performance of small medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Oman, utilizing Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework. Design/methodology/approach The nature is explanatory based data gathered from 282 SME owners managers/employees using a convenience sampling method. After examining construct validity reliability, Partial Least Squares with Structural Equation Modelling was used examine proposed model study. Findings results indicate that all determinants, including Cost Concerns, Top Management Support, Relative Advantage, Technology Compatibility, Security Concerns Technological Readiness are significant load-on drivers for adoption. However, Government Policy Vendor Support were deemed insignificant contributors Moreover, has favourable effect both as well performance. Practical implications finds there great possibility technology transforming SMEs Oman by boosting security, transparency efficiency processes. supports Vision 2040 towards advancing technology, economic development job creation. Managers policy makers should, therefore, encourage this innovation.
