Quantitative data were collected from academic staff working in four universities in Yemen. Stratified random sampling was employed in the sample selection and a total of 310 academic staff participated in a survey by returning the study questionnaire distributed to them. Statistical analysis used for analyzing the data of the study included descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression. The findings of the study indicated significant positive relationship between turnover intentions and job performance. The results of the hierarchical multiple regressions indicated that national culture dimensions moderate the relationship between turnover intentions and job performance. The findings of this study provide a valuable knowledge to universities and organizations which have multinational staff working in them and guide these universities ...

It also aims to find whether there is a significant difference of the level of adopting CSR as a periodic activity between business-related public enterprises known as state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and private enterprises. Empirical analyses were conducted on a sample comprising 103 for-profit public and private enterprises. Relationship between CSR and NFOP was examined using multiple regression analyses whereas t-test analysis was used to find any significant difference in adopting CSR activities between SOEs and private enterprises operating in Yemen. The four components of CSR (i.e. economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic) have positive significant relationships with NFOP when measured separately in private enterprises and in both SOEs and private enterprises as a whole entity. Conversely, there was insignificant influence of CSR on NFOP when examined separately in only SOEs. Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference between SOEs and private enterprises concerning the level of adopting periodically CSR activities. Having potential personal preferences among respondents was among the major limitations of this study. Moreover, using nonfinancial measures for assessing NFOP forms another key limitation.Having potential personal preferences among respondents was among the major limitations of this study. Moreover, using nonfinancial measures for assessing NFOP forms another key limitation. This is one of the first papers discussing the influence of CSR on NFOP which has been given less remarkable attention in the literature compared to financial organizational performance. Moreover, the paper investigates CSR effects on NFOP in Yemen which belongs to the Third World countries.

Therefore, many technology acceptance theories and models have been developed in the field. Research showed a number of models that introduce the factors which make information systems successful. Based on the theoretical lens rooted in the literature, the researchers critically reviewed ten models and theories on individual acceptance of technology. The review identifies the major models to make explicit assumptions. The present study tries to provide a summary of strengths and weaknesses that have been discussed about these models and theories.
