The purpose of this research is to empirically investigate the relation among IT competency (ITC) and organizational agility (OA)with mediating role of absorptive capacity (AC) in the Egyptian high tech driven SMEs. The objectives of this research are: to investigate how ITC affects OA in the Egyptian high tech driven SMEs, to examine how ITC affects AC in the Egyptian high tech driven SMEs, to identify how AC affects OA in the Egyptian high tech driven SMEs, to test the mediation role of AC in the relationship between ITC and OA in the Egyptian high tech driven SMEs. The study followed the quantitative approach and data gathered from a survey of 419 acceptable responses. The results were analysed employing by structural equation model analyses (SEM) using analysis of a moment structures (AMOS) software. The main conclusions drawn from this study are: the direct effect among ITCand OA is statistically significant, the direct effect among ITCand ACis statistically significant, the direct effect among ACand OA is statistically significant, Finally, ACpartially mediates the relation among ITCand OA. This paper can provide valuable insights into the influence of ITC on OA within an emerging market context. These insights can enrich current understanding which often focuses on developed economies and shed light on how an organization’s ability to learn and adapt from external knowledge sources influences its agility in a dynamic environment. Focusing on the Egyptian High tech driven SMEs. Moreover, the research findings can inform policymakers in Egypt about the importance of fostering IT skills and infrastructure within organizations. This can contribute to creating a more technology-driven and agile business environment for Egyptian companies.

 In the face of increasing environmental concerns, market volatility, and global disruptions, the imperative for sustainable and resilient supply chains has never been more pronounced. This study aims to explore the relationship between the implementation of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices and the achieved level of supply chain resilience (SCR) within the context of the Egyptian manufacturing firms. 

 The goal of this research is to empirically investigate the effect PE(PE) on employee performance (EP) with Mediation Role of job satisfaction (JS)in the Egyptian oil and gas sector. The objectives of this research are: to investigate the relation among PE and employee performance, to test the relation among PE and job satisfaction, to investigate the relation among JS and employee performance, and to examine the mediation role of JS among PE and employee performance. The methodology used is focused on quantitative analysis utilizing an online survey tool to collect the necessary data and AMOS software for structural equation model analyses (SEM). The study’s findings revealed that: all the hypotheses are supported. Finally, the study found that there is a partial mediation effect of the JS among PE and EP in Egyptian oil and gas sector.

 Purpose: Coordination between the central government and local administration is important to achieve complementarity of performance, prevent inconsistencies and overlap in the competencies between them, but it needs to develop mechanisms for coordination between them.Therefore, The paper aims to study the impact of coordination mechanisms between the central government and local units on the performance of local administration bodies in Egypt.

 Purpose – This study aims to provide educators with information concerning factors impacting  the student’s willingness to use online learning. This is explained by the mediator technology acceptance model (TAM). The study investigates the external factors and the mediating effect of the perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness on the intention to use online learning.

 This study aims at examining the contemporary practice of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) assurance and exploring its future in Egypt. Forty-four managers working in Egyptian listed companies with a recognized CSR experience are surveyed to attain their perceptions on the issues examined. Kruskal Wallis test are utilized for hypotheses testing. Results reveal that the lack of awareness about the assurance importance and its high cost are perceived as the main hindrances of assurance reports in Egypt. Respondents’ level of experience has no impact on their perceptions of the Egyptian companies’ motives of to assure CSR reports. However, the respondents’ experience level influences their realization of certain challenges, such as the dearth of stakeholders’ pressure; the concerns about auditors’ independence and the lack of the awareness of importance of CSR assurance, that may limit Egyptian companies to undertake the assurance decision. Furthermore, respondents’ experience level affect on their perceptions of the urgency of unified reporting guidelines as well as the stakeholders’ pressure to enhance the future of CSR assurance in Egypt. In addition, the companies’ size influences the respondents’ perceptions about the identified factors that stimulates Egyptian companies to assure CSR reports, excluding the need to enhance the external reporting. Also, the companies’ size affects the respondents’ view of stakeholders’ pressure as a factor that imped Egyptian companies from undertaking the assurance decision. Finally, for each identified strand enhance the diffusion of CSR assurance in Egypt, our results report a significant impact of the companies’ size on the respondents’ perceptions.

This study aims at examining the efficiency of the participation of the public and private agents in the production process in different productive sectors of the Egyptian economy during the period 2003-2018. The study utilized the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA), also known as the Composed Error model, to determine the efficiency of a production function that consists of labor and capital, as inputs, and the generated value-added by the two productive economic agents, as outputs.

The study found differentiated results across the productive sectors regarding the relative weights of the public and private agents and the efficiency of their technical performance, on the one hand, and the returns and contributions of labor and capital factors by the two economic agents in the productive sectors, on the other hand. The relative weak contribution of the public agents in the agriculture sector is commensurate with the low efficiency of their technical performance, and the sector is dominated by the private agents, which are relatively technically more efficient. Despite the technical performance of the private and public agents is almost equivalent in both the mining and manufacturing sectors; however, the public agents dominate the mining sector, while the private agents dominate the manufacturing sector. Regarding the services sector, the private agents perform with a relatively high level of technical efficiency and dominate the sector. In general, the study found that the relative weights of the public and private agents in different productive sectors in Egypt are, to a large extent, commensurate with their level of technical efficiency.
