“…Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Lee and Podsakoff (2003, p. 879) defined common method variance (CMV) as "Variance that is attributable to the measurement method rather than to the construct the measures represent". This test was used in previous studies that tested the UTAUT (e.g., Chopdar, Korfiatis, Sivakumar, & Lytras, 2018;El Ouirdi, El Ouirdi, Segers, & Pais, 2016;Lu, Yu, Liu, & Wei, 2017;Oliveira, Thomas, Baptista, & Campos, 2016). CMV inflates the relationships between the variables.…”

This is the first research to study gender differences among consumers in a cross-national context in the Middle East: the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Jordan. A conceptual framework was developed by extending the extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) further. It was tested among individuals aged 18-29 years using multistage cluster sampling. A total sample of around 900 usable responses from both countries were included in the analysis. The factors national IT development, enjoyment, perceived relative advantage, price value and effort expectancy were found to be significant in the model among Arab women in the UAE and Jordan. The study has theoretical, social and policy relating contributions. The study shows how an extended UTAUT2 fits among both genders in a crossnational context. The study is helpful for policymakers who intend to reduce the gender gap in smartphone adoption and use. The advancement of national IT development and the presence of effective policies focusing on women were found important in both countries.

In cut throat competition, organizations all over the world try to utilize the immense opportunities the Internet has to offer in almost all of their operations. Today, Social networking sites (SNSs) provide utilities designed to help companies to recruit right personnel. Considering the implication of social media for recruitment at infancy stage in Pakistan and lack of studies related to it, this study aims to investigate the role of different SNSs qualities (Easily navigate, Secure process, Eminence Proficiency, Candidate's Attraction and Network Expedition) in effective E-recruitment (EER). Data were collected through structured questionnaire from employees and managers of major telecom companies of Pakistan. Finally, the result of 355 returned and valid questionnaire with 55% response rate show that the relationship between SNSs qualities and EER is significant. Moreover, results also prove that EER is better than the tradition recruitment and a SNSs comparison show that Facebook is more effective than LinkedIn for EER. The results of this study will help Pakistani companies to develop a successful e-HRM and EER strategy in the current scenario.

“…Th e use of social media by government in post-communist countries is still in its beginnings, and the research on this issue is rather scarce. Authors mostly deal with social media adoption in employee recruitment and selection (El Ouirdi et al 2016) or use of marketing technology (web analytics, social media, customer analytics, digital campaigns and mobile applications) in companies (Jayaram et al 2015), i.e. the research is focused on the private sector, not on the public sector, where the use of social media is new phenomena.…”

Th is paper presents the fi rst fi ndings of research that focused on the use of social media by Slovak regional towns. Social media, namely Facebook, are considered a powerful tool for various public administration activities that do not relate only to informing citizens, but also having them participate in decision-making and municipality governance. Th e paper points out the ways of social media usage by selected municipalities. Th e research was carried out in the months of February and March 2018 using a special tool for analyzing Facebook pages called Quintly and a questionnaire survey among the employees of the municipalities. Th e results indicate that municipalities use Facebook mainly for ex-ante informing and for asking citizens to vote in various competitions that can help the local government to gain funding for some public services. Calling for participation in decision-making is very limited. Th e paper also shows a comparative perspective that can be used by municipalities but also by other local or even national governments to work further with Facebook and adopt a social media use strategy.
