To achieve this objective, the study used the descriptive method. The data were collected by means of a questionnaire developed according to previous studies. It was distributed to a sample of graduate students in the College of Educational Sciences and King Abdullah II College of Information Technology, which consisted of (89) male and female students. The study found out that the level of faculty members’ tolerance of cultural diversity from the students' point of view was medium. The study also showed that one of the most important aspects of the faculty members' tolerance of cultural diversity lies in respecting the cultural and religious specificity of students, believing in multiculturalism, and evaluating students objectively without discrimination. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.05) among the students attributed to sex, and in favor of males, and there were no statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.05) attributed to the college. In light of these results, the study recommended that there should be awareness-raising efforts about the positive role played by positive diversity in improving the educational environment and the interaction between students who enrich their knowledge and contribute to the development of their skills.

Authors: AL-Sharjabi Abdulrahman , Mohammed Ali AL-Mandi  
Published: June 2022

This study aimed to identify the level of effectiveness of the Enterprises Resource Planning (ERP) in improving the educational process in higher education institutions in Yemen. The case study was carried out in the University of Science and Technology (UST). The study adopted the analytical descriptive method, using a questionnaire, which was distributed to the whole population (90 employees), who deal with the ERP system at the university, and who were selected by the complete census method. Only 74 questionnaires were returned and were subject to statistical analysis. Major findings revealed that there was a statistically significant correlation between the dimensions of the questionnaire and the overall effectiveness of the ERP system at the university. Therefore, this result indicates that there is a high degree of effectiveness of the ERP system in improving the educational process with a high agreement score on the dimensions of the questionnaire. It was found that the highest effectiveness degree was in the dimension of admission and registration support, followed by academic support and student affairs, and the lowest degree was in the dimension of technical support. Overall, the level of application of the ERP system at the university was high. Based on these findings, it was recommended that this system should be applied so as to cover all departments that do not use the ERP system, which would lead to effective and efficient performance of such departments.

Authors: Jamila Said Ghamber  
Published: June 2022

This study aimed to investigate the present situation of the Libyan accounting research by assessing the availability of appropriate characteristics in its three components (research - researcher - research environment). To achieve this, the descriptive method was followed, and (75) questionnaires were distributed in electronic and paper form to a random sample of faculty members in the accounting departments of the Faculties of Economics in the universities of Tripoli, Zawiya and Sabratha, but (57) questionnaires were valid for statistical analysis using the (SPSS) program. Major findings revealed the availability of the characteristics of research in the published Libyan accounting research, as well as the availability of the characteristics of researchers in the Libyan accounting researcher with means of (3.126) and (3.175) respectively. Further, findings showed lack of appropriate research environment characteristics in the Libyan accounting research environment. The study recommended improving the characteristics of accounting research by setting conditions for writing and publishing accounting research, coordinating lists of scientific journals in which it can be published, and supporting the accounting researcher by reducing their teaching burden, activating sabbaticals and preparing specialized training programs to develop their research skills. In addition, independent and sufficient budgets for accounting research should be allocated to create an environment for scientific accounting research.

Authors: Ahmed Ali Qassem Mohssen  
Published: June 2022

The study aimed to measure the impact of applying governance standards in evaluating the quality of internal audit in Yemeni private universities. To achieve this, the researcher followed the descriptive and analytical approach and employed a questionnaire to collect data from a sample that included (68) participants. After conducting relative analysis, governance was at an average level of (64.9%). There was also a slight variation in the level of implementation, as the dimension of transparency and disclosure was the most frequent dimension, followed by accountability and independence. Further, there was a medium level of adherence to internal auditing standards at a relative weight (65%). The level of commitment to the audit dimensions was as follows: managing the internal audit activities (67%), communicating the results (66%), assessing the risk and control management (64%), and planning and implementing the audit process (62%). and The study also found that the combined governance standards (transparency and disclosure, accountability, independence) increase the quality of the internal audit in Yemeni private universities and the highest dimensions of governance standards affecting the quality of internal auditing are the dimension of independence (80.3%), accountability (71.7%), and disclosure and transparency (63.7%). In light of this, the study recommended adopting governance standards as an integrated approach to achieve quality performance in private Yemeni universities; spreading the culture of governance in private universities among their leaders and staff by holding training courses, seminars, and conferences in order to be accepted and absorbed. In addition, governance should be included in some related academic courses in the disciplines of administrative and accounting sciences.
