Formal and Substantive Defects in Texts Governing the Case of Ineffectiveness of Debtor's Disposition of Creditor's Right in Jordanian Civil Law
259-270
Dr. Ahmad A. Owaidi
 
Abstract:
Jordanian legislator regulated the rules of the "Cases of Ineffectiveness of Debtor's Disposition of Creditor's Right" in articles (370-374) of the Jordanian Civil Law. I have addressed in this paper what I see of the formal and substantive defects in these texts. In terms of the formal defects, I see that the name of the case is inaccurate, which is mixed with the suspended contract consequent to the lack of ineffectiveness of the disposition. Also the legislator used inaccurate phrases and terminology, as well as overstated in some texts. The texts in question were tainted by substantive defects where Jordanian law did not require that the creditor's right is due, and did not require fraud and conspiracy to start the case, noting that the comparative legislation stipulates that debt is due, and stipulated that fraud and conspiracy by the debtor and the disposee to hold on to the application of the case of ineffectiveness of the disposition. The legislator did not regulate the subject of the fulfillment of the debtor to a creditor, which would affect the overall security of the debtor to the detriment of other creditors. In addition to other substantive defects that have been addressed in this paper. Several recommendations have been included in an attempt to avoid these disadvantages.

Total Permanent Injury Disability Compensation in Jordan; Multiplicity of Legislation and Differences in Effects
271-282
Dr. Ahmad A. Owaidi
 
Abstract:
I have dealt with this research entitled “Total Permanent Injury Disability Compensation in Jordan; Multiplicity of Legislation and Differences in Effects" in four topics. It has been shown through this research that the Jordanian legislator has confused in the Social Security Act between work-related injuries and occupational diseases, and that there is multiplicity in the laws that govern work-related injuries, namely, the social security law, labor law, and civil law.
The amount of compensation due to the worker for total permanent injury disability is different and varies greatly from one law to another. The same injury is compensated for by a certain amount based on a particular law, and the amount of compensation doubles to tens or hundreds of times in the application of another law. This matter calls for re- consideration of the texts to try to narrow the gap between these laws. I have also reached a number of conclusions and recommendations.

In a comparative aspect, teacher educators’ actual adoption of all types of didactical strategies was higher than the student teachers’ perceived adoption. The study recommends certain measures for policy makers, curriculum developers and heads of initial teacher education institutions that prepare future teachers in Pakistan. The findings of the study also call for the implementation of student-centered didactical approaches for successful and goal-oriented teaching and learning in the initial teacher education system in Pakistan.

Abstract:
The aim of this research is to explore the role of Knowledge Management (KM) infrastructure (Organizational culture, Organizational structure, human resource, information technology, and physical environment) in enhancing innovation at mobile telecommunication companies in Jordan. A total of 300 questionnaires containing 41 items were used to collect information from respondents working in the only three mobile companies operating in Jordan. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to test the research hypotheses. Results of the current study revealed that there is a significant positive impact of KM infrastructure on innovation. The results strongly augment previous studies mentioned in the literature, revealing that the dimension of KM infrastructure that has the highest impact on innovation is Information Technology (IT). The results of the current study have several managerial implications for organizations; If mobile telecommunication companies in Jordan want to enhance their innovative capacity, they have to work on maintaining an efficient KM infrastructure, investing mainly in IT. When organizations have an efficient KM infrastructure, innovation will increase and organizations should obtain and maintain their competitive advantage in the industry.

Electronics technicians have not in many cases utilized the workshop organizational techniques effectively for operating their workshop activities. This has been a source of worry whereby this ineffectiveness has created lots of chaos, un-coordination, confusion, and inability to carry out repairs on electronics appliances. Four research questions and four null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The instrument made up of 68 items structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 312 electronics technicians in Imo State. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while t-test statistic was employed to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that, personnel control, safety measures, storage systems and inventory control systems were not practiced by most of the electronics technicians in the organization of electronics workshops. It was recommended that appropriate practice of safety measures, constant use of safety goggle and magnifying glass must be adopted by electronics technicians to ensure protection of their eyes. Electronics technicians should organize seminars and workshops so as to constantly update their workshop organizational techniques.
