Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the acceptance of social software applications (SSA) among rural low-income jobseekers by adopting the specific determinants from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which are perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, technology use, and behavioral intention to use. Design/methodology/approach: In this research, the proposed research design is a quantitative method. A self-administered questionnaire adapted from previous studies will be distributed to respondents, a group of rural low-income jobseekers in selected communities within the Selangor area. A purposive sampling method is a suitable technique to be applied. Then, the data collected will be analyzed through the partial least square (SmartPLS) technique. Findings: The research findings are expected to highlight the significant emphasis on developing a more compelling online job search platform, especially using SSA. Then, the findings will also provide a model to understand better the rural low-income community in job-seeking activities. Research limitations/implications: This research is only limited to the variables that will be tested in a quantitative method. Practical implications: It is foreseen that the findings will help various parties, including the government, to create better models for helping rural low-income jobseekers use SSA in job-seeking for a better opportunity to get hired. It is also considered a long-term strategy to become a high-income nation. Originality/value: The research on SSA among rural low-income job seekers is fascinating. A practical framework based on social software applications among rural low-income job seekers will be developed as a guideline to support the government's effort to increase awareness among low-income communities on how to use the SSA to seek jobs efficiently.

Purpose: This study aims to identify the privacy and security factors of e-business adoption in relation to the performance of women-owned small and medium enterprises (WOSMEs) in Malaysia. The resource-based view (RBV) is used to understand WOSME's capabilities to achieve a competitive advantage via e-business. In addition, the introduction of the mediating role of e-business adoption and the moderating role of government support in this paper enhances the understanding of WOSME's performance. Design/methodology/approach: This conceptual paper recommends a cross-sectional quantitative research methodology using random sampling of the WOSME population in Malaysia. Findings: The findings may contribute to WOSMEs by providing them e-business adoption strategies that address their privacy and security concerns to improve their business performance and growth in Malaysia. The conceptual framework may be used as a foundation for future empirical research and offers practitioners insights into the benefits of e-business adoption for WOSME businesses. Research limitations/implications: This research focuses only on the service sector of WOSMEs in Malaysia. As a result, it is unable to represent other countries that vary in the definition, culture, and policies of their SMEs. Practical implications: Based on a critical review of the literature and supporting theories, the present paper increases the understanding of how perceived privacy and perceived security influence e-business adoption and business performance among WOSMEs in Malaysia. Originality/value: This paper's conceptual framework may be a reference and guidance for policymakers and government agencies that seek to develop a more comprehensive ecosystem for better WOSME performance in Malaysia.
