This paper aims to examine the elements influencing the utilization of telecommunication among clients through cell phones.

Design/methodology/approach

The technology acceptance model (TAM) has been widely used in the arena of innovation utilization; nevertheless, modern-day models are inadequate with regards to the factors that influence purchaser use, as they are centered more around innovation rather than services. Additionally, in the theory of planned behavior, individual norms construct is suggested as social impact and is regarded to be an independent factor.

Findings

Equally, usefulness and ease of use have been disregarded in numerous writing in light of TAM and in view of the survey discoveries; there is a positive connection between service quality, subjective norms, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness service.

Originality/value

The present paper proposed to the telecommunication establishments to firm-up interconnection between service quality and utilization purpose. It similarly enumerated equally theoretical and practical ramifications based on earlier writing and suggested future studies to concentrate more on the factors affecting Jordanian telecommunications utilization.

Abstract

Purpose

To assess patient safety culture in a teaching hospital in Jordan, identify the demographic and professional characteristics that impact safety culture, and benchmark patient safety culture with similar studies in the region.

Design/methodology/approach

A cross-sectional design was applied. Responses were analyzed using SPSS software. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data.

Findings

In total, 430 (80.5%) participants were nurses and physicians; 300 (56.20%) were females; 270 (50.6%) were in the age group 25–34 years of age. Participants provided the highest positive ratings for “teamwork within units” (60.7%). On the contrary, participants recorded a low positive reaction to the proposition that the response to error was punitive in nature. Of the participants, about 53% did not report any events in the past year.

Originality/value

The average positive response of PSC composites varied from 28.2 to 60.7%. Therefore, patient safety culture in this Jordanian hospital was revealed fragile. This research informs and enables managers and policymakers to plan for future interventions to improve patient safety culture in healthcare institutions.
