It primarily examines the role of these digital modalities in enhancing philanthropic contributions, improving financial transparency, and achieving sustainability goals. The study explores the synergistic effects of combining digital accounting and digital zakat, and aims to fill the knowledge gap regarding their collective impact on sustainable business practices. The results confirm the primary hypothesis and show a positive correlation with corporate sustainability. Consistent with previous research, digital zakat is identified as a catalyst for stakeholder engagement and a facilitator of sustainable development initiatives.

The study provides strategic recommendations for businesses, policymakers, and academics to promote sustainable practices and align financial systems with broader sustainability goals. This research is central to deepening the understanding of digital technologies' ability to enhance sustainability in business contexts, and future studies should extend these findings to examine the complex dynamics of how digital solutions can optimize sustainability in different sectors and settings. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication The Influence Of Board Of Directors’ Characteristics On Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosures In Jordanian Islamic Banks(Institute of Advanced Science Extension (IASE), 2023) ;Murad Ali Ahmad Al-Zaqeba ;Omar M. Shubailat ;Suhaila Abdul Hamid ;Baker Akram Falah Jarah ;Fawwaz Ali Taha AbabnehZeyad AlmatarnehIn an era where organizations are increasingly recognizing the paramount importance of addressing societal and environmental concerns, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has emerged as a pivotal facet of contemporary business practices. Within the banking sector, Islamic banks assume a significant role in advocating ethical and socially responsible conduct. This study delves into the impact of the board of directors' characteristics on corporate social responsibility disclosures (CSRD) within Jordanian Islamic banks. Data were meticulously gathered from three Jordanian Islamic banks, all of which are listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE), over the span of the years 2010 to 2022. Our findings illuminate that Jordanian Islamic banks, on average, disclose 47 percent of their CSR endeavors, marking a commendable level of transparency, particularly when contrasted with less developed economies. Notably, independent directors comprise 42% of the board composition, with the average age of board members standing at 41 years. Moreover, 8.10% of board members hold degrees in finance and accounting, while 0.24% possess professional experience within the Big Four accounting firms. On average, Jordanian Islamic banks convene 10.27 board meetings annually, and 48% of directors maintain multiple directorships. Significantly, our analysis underscores that all examined characteristics of board members have a favorable influence on CSR disclosure within Jordanian Islamic banks. This paper constitutes a substantial contribution to the extant literature by providing empirical substantiation of the nexus between the board of directors' characteristics and CSRD in Jordanian Islamic banks, with a specific emphasis on the unique domain of Islamic banking, which has hitherto received limited scholarly attention. Further avenues of research are recommended to explore additional variables and delve deeper into the intricate interplay between board characteristics, external contextual factors, and the disclosure of CSR activities. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Taxation and Customs Strategies in Jordanian Supply Chain Management: Shaping Sustainable Design and Driving Environmental Responsibility(Growing Science Ltd, 2023) ;Mo'taz Kamel Al Zobi ;Murad Ali Ahmad Al-ZaqebaBaker Akram Falah JarahThis study explores the role of taxation and customs strategies in promoting sustainable design and environmental responsibility in supply chain management. The research examines their direct effects on sustainable and environmental responsibility in Jordan, as well as the moderating influence of socioeconomic factors. It also investigates the mediating effect of sustainable practices adoption. Quantitative analysis using Smart PLS4 software was conducted. The results highlight the positive influence of taxation strategies on sustainable and environmental responsibility. Effective taxation strategies contribute to a stronger commitment to sustainable practices and environmental concerns within supply chains. Similarly, customs strategies positively influence sustainable and environmental responsibility, demonstrating that efficient customs management aligns with sustainable practices. In addition, socioeconomic factors were identified as significant moderators. The relationship between taxation strategies and sustainable responsibility, as well as environmental responsibility, varied based on the socioeconomic context. This suggests that the effectiveness of these strategies depends on the specific circumstances in which organizations operate. Furthermore, sustainable practices adoption was found to moderate the relationship between taxation and environmental strategies, and sustainable responsibility. This indicates that the successful implementation of sustainable practices enhances the impact of taxation and environmental strategies in promoting sustainability within the supply chain. This paper emphasizes the importance of developing and implementing effective taxation and customs policies that align with sustainable practices. Organizations should consider the influence of socioeconomic factors and prioritize the sustainable practices adoption to maximize the impact of these strategies. The findings provide valuable insights for strategic decision-making and encourage businesses to integrate sustainability into their supply chain management, contributing to environmental conservation and long-term success. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

The convenience sample was surveyed using a descriptive cross-sectional approach. Questionnaires were used to collect the data. The study population consists of commercial banks. The tool was sent to employees of all Jordanian commercial banks through email, Facebook and Twitter in order to meet the researchers' target sample size of at least 381 participants.

The results of this study demonstrate that the adoption of FinTech solutions by banks has a significant impact on their profitability and position. Financing, money transfer and lending are crucial in determining a bank's profitability and overall success. Therefore, this study contributed to the growth of a new model that connects financial technology through financing, money transfers and lending to profitability and it added many topics related to financial accounting technology for increasing profitability in Jordanian commercial banks.
