“…Human capital is the most critical asset in education and skill development (Galiakberova, 2019), therefore mobilizing and translating resources into human capital is a good idea. To engage its employees, the human resource strategy for human capital development encompasses professional development, career opportunities, and organization development (Sanni et al, 2013;Fényes and Mohácsi, 2020). According to White (2021), the primary problem of human resource development is to achieve a balance between educational content and changing constantly market demands.…”

Innovation capabilities and human development in education sector is one of the key focused areas in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The current research is novel to integrate and address such constructs in single theoretical framework. Grounded in Human Capital Theory, this study aims to investigate the role of innovation capabilities in human development competitiveness in the education sector of UAE. Based on the qualitative research approach, data were collected through interviews with 70 experts and leaders working in this field of Human Development Index (HDI) and innovation development in the UAE in order to more comprehensively recognize the main dilemmas involved in the phenomenon under investigation. Results indicate a huge potential of growth and improvement in education sector of UAE for supporting country SDG goals. Furthermore, it applied the conceptual statistics of key performance indicators (KPIs) collected to analyze the UAE’s HDI, innovation capabilities, and human development competitiveness from 2014 to 2020. Results revealed insightful lessons for policymakers and scholars working in innovation management and sustainable development goals area. Especially, this research will bring key policy directions and future research avenues for better innovative capabilities development in the education sector in developing and low-income economies.

“…This is possible since the potential users usually observe the existing users of the innovation and clearly see the advantage of adopting and using the innovation (Rogers, 1983: 244). DIT received wide recognition and was heavily used in behavioural studies in various fields (Brown, Hope, Mugera, Newman and Stander, 2004;Carter and Campbell, 2011;Sanni, et al, 2013;Yuksel, 2015).…”

The main objective of this study is to examine the factors that influence the customers' intention to adopt E-banking services in Oman across the Islamic Banking sector. This research endeavours to assess the willingness of the Islamic banks' customers to adopt these services rather than the traditional banking methods. Accordingly, a sample of 300 Islamic banks' customers were surveyed in different districts of Oman. Afterwards, linear regression and one sample t-test were utilized in order to analyse the gathered data. The findings showed that customers have high tendency of embracing and utilizing E-banking services as opposed to the conventional services. Additionally, the results revealed that relative advantage, self-efficacy, ease of use, and facilitating conditions are the fundamental factors that impact the selection of E-banking by Islamic banks' customers in Oman. However, uncertainty had no significant effect on the intention of Islamic banks' customers to use E-banking services. These findings would significantly contribute to the theory, and the way that Islamic banking sector would be practiced and regulated.

“…For example, the technology acceptance model (TAM) has been used to examine factors affecting print and electronic resources (Zha et al, 2013), conventional and unconventional electronic resources (Yan et al, 2013), the transfer from print resources to electronic resources (Zha et al, 2013), the selection of online resources for academic tasks (Joo and Choi, 2015; Joo and Choi, 2016), and English and Chinese electronic resources (Zha et al, 2013; Yan et al, 2013). Diffusion of innovation (DOI) was employed to determine factors that contribute to the adoption rate of e-journal publishing (Sanni et al, 2013). Expectation confirmation theory (ECT) was extended through the investigation of factors affecting students’ continuance intention to use online library resources (Joo and Choi, 2016).…”

“…Due to their subject knowledge, skills, and professions, academic faculty are more active in pursuing activities that require information resources. In fact, the use of EIRs has changed faculty habits in relation to using electronic journals: they are reading more papers than before, expanding their reading into broader fields, keeping themselves informed, and spending less time reading each article (Sanni et al, 2013). As a result, academic libraries indicate that EIRs services cannot be effective if they are not used by faculty, who perform a critical role in influencing students' perception of EIRs services (Wu and Chen, 2012).…”

This study aims to explain the factors affecting academic faculty’s acceptance and usage of university library electronic information resources (EIRs) services in six public universities in the Gulf Cooperation Council States (GCCS). The applied model was tested via structural equation modeling (SEM) by using valid data collected from 499 responses to the questionnaire survey. The findings indicate that performance expectancy, habit, hedonic motivation, and facilitating conditions were significant antecedents of behavioral intention, and that performance expectancy, habit, and behavioral intention were significant antecedents of user behavior. The influence of the individual characteristics as moderators varied based on the path. While much of the research on the adoption of EIRs services provides a rich understanding of behavioral intention and system use, the current study enhances library professionals’ understanding by incorporating further antecedents that can be used to guide approaches to enhancing EIRs services. Several important implications for researchers (i.e. extending the acceptance models with new interventions) and practitioners (i.e. guiding approaches to the enhancement of EIRs services) are discussed.
