Standalone electronic personal health record can be a useful tool that enables individuals to store, arrange and share their health information easily and they can build a history of their health timeline which is crucial for raising healthcare quality and better self-management, the adoption rate of these applications has been identified in several countries to be low and slowly progressing.Although there are some applications of standalone ePHR available in the market for usage free of charge but it’s almost not adopted at all, this study will investigate some of the factors that might affect the adoption of ePHR technology by adults in Egypt and provide business professionals a better picture for what can motivate or hinder the adoption process to achieve better adoption rates and eliminate the barriers.In order to ensure a comprehensive contextual analysis, researchers analyzed the research in hand with the perspective of the proposed contextual framework, the Nine Elements Framework/Model (Elsafty, 2018) that analyzes social studies research in general, and business/management reseaerches as well.Using the nine elements framework, the authors used it to discover the underlying factors that are causing the problems faced by the research in hand, and resulted in the coming contextual analysis defining the research scope and focus, which in the case of this paper is on Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were adapted from TAM that was initially developed by Fred Davis (1989) and they proved to have a high predictive power of behavioral intention in CHI context, The extensions of TAM including UTAUT & UTAUT2 seems to be irrelevant to this research context since UTAUT is more oriented towards the organizational context (Venkatesh et al., 2012) and UTAUT2 added factors, Price value seems to be irrelevant in this research context as we are already studying platforms that are provided free of charge, Hedonic motivation maybe irrelevant to this context as healthcare related service is mostly associated with seriousness and urgency, also testing unimplemented platforms that are not yet adopted makes from the habit unrealistic experience that may be inaccurate to measure.Since other several researches recommended extending these factors with other additional factors to make it more relevant to the healthcare consumer context (Kim & Park, 2012), these factors may include health-related factors, technology-related factors and personal-related factors. Findings in this research revealed that adoption rate in Egypt is still very low and high demand for this service which makes this research is significant as it’s trying to find out the reasons behind this gap, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, (privacy and security), eHealth literacy, personalization and awareness had a significant impact on behavioral intention to use standalone ePHR applications. Personalization was found to have the strongest effect on behavioral intention followed by perceived usefulness. Health status was found to have an insignificant effect on behavioral intention which indicates the interest of people with different health statuses in standalone ePHR.

The new era of Digital transformation will Destroy many tasks and will create new owns, only certain tasks will depend on human skills which was defined by Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne, 2013 in which they called it, the “Engineering-Bottlenecks. Other tasks also defined by Katharina Dengler, Britta Matthes and Wiebke Paulus, 2014 in which they use the assignment of activities explained by Alexandra Spitz-Oener for non-automatable tasks and categorize them as: analytical non-routine tasks, interactive non-routine tasks. To mitigate the Risk of Automation and AI, there is a need for Upskilling and Reskilling the current workforce to perform the un-automatable tasks, created from the development of new products and services as well as performing new complementary tasks created to support the new automated systems. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the current Reskilling and Upskilling activities are organized in the right track to fill in the new created jobs, and whether they are making use of COVID-19, which gave a surplus of time by WFH and cutting the transportation time. The conclusion of this research is 38% of the existing tasks, is under the risk of automation and 51% of the employees more than 40% of their current tasks are subject to automation. COVID-19 through WFH can provide more time for learning and development.  Reskilling and Upskilling of the current workforce will not be effective unless it is correlated with the new created jobs from introducing new products and services or complementary jobs for newly introduced automated systems as the new created jobs are mainly SW developers. The quantitative method used in this research is based on survey through questionnaires to a probability sample for 100 Engineers working in a technical department in Mobile Operator, and the Qualitative method is based on Structured interviews with a non-probability sample of Technology Managers, as Judgmental Sampling.

HRM has a significant role in motivating the employees and ensuring that every employee is satisfied with the HR practices. Healthcare providers have been facing stress and depression especially in Egypt, due to COVID-19. In this country, the healthcare providers are looking for alternatives to achieve satisfaction as COVID-19 has affected their jobs, salaries, incentives, and bonuses. The past studies have focused on assessing the HRM’s role in employee retention and satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic in Egypt. The past research discussed the impact of motivation, incentives, and rewards on the employees’ motivation. This study focused on evaluating the role of HRM towards the healthcare providers' retention during COVID-19 in Egypt. This study relied on the quantitative approach for achieving the findings and conclusion. The sample size of the study involved 120 healthcare providers working in different hospitals. The results revealed that intrinsic motivation, rewards, incentives, monetary benefits, and non-monetary benefits have an essential role in maintaining the healthcare providers during COVID-19. It is concluded that HR can play a significant role in retaining key healthcare providers in COVID-19. The elements including intrinsic motivation, incentives, non-monetary, and monetary benefits can play a significant part in retaining healthcare providers. HR departments should focus on releasing salaries on time, providing specific bonuses, and providing incentives to healthcare providers whenever they perform at their best level.
