Abstract
Purpose
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is in the midst of a transformative economic vision, aiming to diversify its economy and reduce dependency on oil revenues. Adopting modern technological solutions like Cloud Accounting Information Systems (AIS) is pivotal in this regard. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of Cloud AIS on achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8.
Design/methodology/approach
This study uses a quantitative research strategy and bootstrapping to analyze data from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) industrial sector using partial least squares structural equation modeling.
Findings
The study findings provide substantial evidence supporting the positive impact of Cloud AIS on achieving SDG 8. Significant relationships were identified between infrastructure readiness and Cloud AIS utilization, the critical role of data quality in driving Cloud AIS utilization and the significance of security compliance in influencing Cloud AIS utilization. In addition, the quality of service providers was demonstrated to be a crucial factor for effective Cloud AIS implementation. This study also established that infrastructure readiness significantly influences the attainment of SDG 8.
Practical implications
The practical implications of this study provide actionable insights for decision-makers in the KSA industrial sector. Leveraging Cloud AIS effectively will enable organizations to enhance operational efficiencies, promote inclusive economic growth and contribute significantly to achieving SDG 8.
Originality/value
This study contributes significantly to the existing literature by delving into the impact of Cloud AIS on achieving SDG 8, specifically in the context of the KSA – an area that has not been extensively studied.

Abstract
Purpose
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s dedicated pursuit of technological modernization positions it as a forefront leader in integrating advanced systems, aligning smoothly with the ambitious goals outlined in Vision 2030. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of integrating enterprise resource planning (ERP) and business intelligence (BI) systems on decision-making processes within the industrial sector of Saudi Arabia.
Design/methodology/approach
Using a quantitative research design, this study uses a bootstrapping approach and partial least squares structural equation modeling to meticulously analyze data collected from Saudi industrial firms.
Findings
The research reveals favorable relationships among infrastructure readiness, data quality, security and access control, user capabilities, user training and the integration of ERP and BI. These positive associations collectively affirm the overarching positive impact of ERP and BI integration on decision-making processes within the industrial sector.
Practical implications
The study underscores the strategic imperative of aligning organizational practices with the identified characteristics to fully unlock the potential benefits of ERP and BI integration in the Saudi Arabian industrial sector.
Originality/value
This study contributes significantly to the existing literature by delving into the integration of ERP and BI in the industrial sector and its nuanced impact on decision-making processes, specifically in the context of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – an area that has not been extensively studied.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the existing literature on green human resource management (GHRM) and its correlation with environmental performance (EP) and energy saving behavior (ESB) by using the PRISMA methodology.
Design/methodology/approach
A thorough examination was undertaken involving a total of 25 articles which included a diverse range of years and geographic areas.
Findings
The findings suggest a growing emphasis on the intersection of GHRM, EP and ESB, supported by a substantial increase in research in recent times. The literature in question was mostly contributed by Malaysia, Pakistan, Canada and Thailand. Majority of research endeavors were carried out within the context of manufacturing companies. The studies under scrutiny mostly used quantitative research methodologies and often applied the resource-based view (RBV) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) frameworks to investigate the relationships between GHRM, ESB and EP. In addition, structural equation modeling (SEM) has garnered significant attention as a commonly used analytical methodology. This analysis emphasizes the growing importance of GHRM strategies such as green recruiting, green performance management and green remuneration, in fostering sustainable organizational results.
Originality/value
This work offers significant contributions to the existing body of research in this particular sector; shedding light on its present condition and pinpointing prospective avenues for future inquiries.
