Privatization is the act of reducing the role of government or increasing the role of the private institutions of society in satisfying people's needs; it means relying more on the private sector and less on government. The Jordanian government adopted a privatization program in 1996 to enhance the efficiency and productivity of government owned companies. The principal objective of this study is to examine the effects of the privatization program on enhancing the performance of state-owned enterprises in Jordan. Therefore, we try to draw some highlights on the trend of recent literature reviews in the area. This may provide some guidelines for the research to proceed with the examination of the Privatization practices and their impact on the performance.

Despite the expanding global usage of mobile phones in money transactions, the adoption of mobile payment systems in Jordan remains slow. This study employed the technology acceptance model (TAM) to identify the factors with a potential impact on mobile payment systems acceptance. The impact of perceived privacy (PP) and the mediating function of perceived certainty (PC) on the behavioral intention (BI) of mobile payment systems among Jordanian ministries were examined. Data obtained from 270 respondents were analyzed using partial least-squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The empirical findings show a positive link between perceived usefulness (PU) and PC on the BI of mobile payment systems. The mediation analysis demonstrated that PC partially mediated the association of PP with the BI of mobile payment systems. The final section concluded the paper by presenting the key theoretical and practical ramifications, as well as the research’s limitations and future directions.
