“…top management commitment and top management innovativeness) and both of them were found to be salient predictors to the adoption of HIS. The findings of the current study regarding the significance of the organizational factors supported the results obtained from prior studies (Abdul Hameed & Counsell, 2012;Bossen et al, 2013;Chen & Hsiao, 2012;Escobar-Rodríguez & Romero-Alonso, 2013). Furthermore, the current study incorporated three environmental factors into the UTAUT model (i.e.…”

“…2; this situation might have minimized the role of the governmental support as a contributor to the adoption issue from the healthcare professionals' point of view. However, within the literature other researchers found an insignificant or weak role of the GVS as a predictor to the adoption of new technological systems (Abbasi et al, 2011;Abdul Hameed & Counsell, 2012;Quaddus & Hofmeyer, 2007).…”

“…These regulations can be a constraining factor within a certain industry which discourages the adoption of new innovations; while in another industry, those regulations and guidelines can stimulate the organization to adopt technological innovations (Tornatzky et al, 1990). This factor was examined by several studies, and the results regarding its significance and its role to technology adoption were inconsistent due to the different studies' environments and settings (Abbasi, Chandio, Soomro, & Shah, 2011;Abdul Hameed & Counsell, 2012;Chang et al, 2006;El-Gohary, 2012;Quaddus & Hofmeyer, 2007). Hence, the current study considered this factor as a predictor to the adoption of new technologies within the Iraqi healthcare context to understand its effect in this new environment and the hypothesis is: H8: Government support will significantly influence the usage of HIS.…”

Healthcare information systems (HIS) are an important part of nowadays hospitals as it provides valuable benefits and functionalities for healthcare provision. However, the implementation and adoption of these complex innovations is a challenging task as documented by the literature; therefore, careful planning and consideration to all important factors that influence the adoption process by healthcare staff is required. Governmental reports stated that the usage of HIS systems within public hospitals of Iraq is still low and problematic; that's why the current study aims at empirically investigating the opinions of healthcare staff regarding the adoption of HIS within public hospitals of Iraq. The current study extended the UTAUT model by integrating additional organizational and environmental factors and for that purpose a questionnaire was developed for obtaining the healthcare staff's opinions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first empirical study that utilized the UTAUT model to tackle the topic of HIS adoption in Iraq public healthcare sector. The study was able to explain 33% and 46% of the variance within the behavioral intention and the usage of HIS, respectively. The practical findings of this quantitative study can be helpful for healthcare officials to address the actual challenges related to HIS adoption and to set proper strategies for implementing futuristic HIS projects.

This paper seeks to investigate the effect of audit committee characteristics on the company's performance. The sample consists of 165 non-financial companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) over the period [2014][2015][2016]. The results of the study show that the audit committee size, independence and gender diversity have a significant positive relationship with firm's performance, whereas experience and frequency of meetings has an insignificant association. The results of the study could be beneficial for managers and boards in making suitable choices about audit committee characteristics and corporate governance mechanisms to enhance the company's performance. The study gives policy makers a better understanding of the different characteristics required of an audit committee, for incorporation in future policy preparation to protect the shareholders' interests. The relationship between audit committee characteristics and company performance is still ambiguous. This study contributes to the literature by identifying the role of audit committee characteristics in company performance, providing evidence for the view that performance is driven by specific audit committee characteristics.
