Survey Approach

In order to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic the government of Saudi Arabia launched three mobile applications namely Tetamman, Tabaud & Tawakkalna to keep the public aware about the corona virus and ensure monitoring of the suspected cases. The objective of this study is to curb the spread of COVID-19 by enhancing social measures and investigate the role of mobile applications in achievement of this objective. Comprehensive review of the role of mobile applications was made and a survey approach was used to evaluate the effectiveness of these applications. Findings of the study indicate that the users perceive that the applications are successful in achievement of the objectives for which these applications were launched. The key performance indicators (KPIs) included in the survey were efficiency, ease of use, satisfaction of users, fulfilment of purpose, usefulness and helpfulness etc. The average number of respondents, who agreed that these applications are performing according to the mentioned KPIs, is 86.6% for Tetamman, 80.5% for Tabaud and 90% for Tawakkalna. More awareness campaigns are needed so that more people adopt the use of these applications, which could significantly help in identification of new casesand enhance telehealth and teleconsultations. Moreover, the applications should be upgraded for self-triage.

Insight Into

Although is highly inadvisable for drivers to use their smartphone while driving, certain mobile applications provide driving assistance. These apps may come in the form of intelligent surrounding awareness apps that can alert the driver of anything amiss, for example by way of detecting potential hazards and providing collision warnings. Such apps are particularly useful for new and unexperienced drivers, as applicable to most women in Saudi Arabia where the ban on driving has just been lifted. The views and perceptions on the use of this kind of application provides valuable insight into its potential value and efficiency. Regrettably, there is a lack of studies on the user perception of mobile driving-aided applications in general and that of Saudi Arabian women drivers in particular. As a result, this study undertakes an exploratory survey to investigate the readiness of Saudi Arabian women to use mobile driving-aided applications and their perceptions. 329 respondents participated in the survey. The result indicates that a considerable number of respondents welcome the use of mobile driving-aided applications.

Study Results

This study examines factors influencing consumers' intention to use mobile applications for online shopping in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The research employed quantitative methodology, using study sample consisting of 150 participants randomly selected from the Saudi community. A questionnaire was developed to collect the primary data, resulting in one hundred (100) usable responses, i.e. a response rate of 66.67% (100/150). The collected data was subsequently analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Software (SPSS) and the Amos programme, to establish the path of the independent variables using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The study results identified the following: firstly, a positive or strong significant correlation between subjective norms and customer intention to use mobile applications for online shopping in KSA. Secondly, a positive, significant correlation between customer intention and the use of mobile applications for online shopping in KSA. Thirdly, that Perceived Behavioural Control (PBC) had a negative correlation with customer intention to mobile applications for online shopping in KSA. Finally, that that the main factors influencing consumers' intention to use mobile applications for online shopping in KSA consisted of: (1) attitude; (2) perceived behaviour control; (3) subjective norms; and (4) perceived trust. This research therefore contributes to the current literature by offering important evidence of how key players in the Saudi e-commerce sector can leverage consumers' intention to use mobile applications for online shopping in KSA. Due to its contribution to the picture of customer intentions towards online shopping in KSA, this study has significance for the Saudi e- commerce sector, online shopping companies and technological sector, as well as for online consumers.

Mobile Applications (apps) are one of the most important tools that provide many services in different and varied fields of human life such as social, health, commercial, political, and other services. These apps make information easily available to everyone, fast to get, and cheaper than traditional methods. The Hajj pilgrims and Umrah performances (Al-Rahman Holy guests) have a share of the electronic services provided by many governmental and private sectors inside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The offered services ensure that these religious guests have the ability to gain useful knowledge before and during the period they are stayed in the land of the Two Holy Mosques. In this paper, we collected all possible apps related to Hajj and Umrah, from the Google Store, during the season of Hajj 1440 AH (2019 AD), which amounted to 471 apps through searching on relevant applications to Hajj and Umrah services. We studied the applications public info trying to gain personal privacy characteristics from user rating, number of evaluators, recent updates, volume of applications, languages, number of downloads, and specific services provided. The results showed that the largest percentage of the studied apps are the facilitations of the Hajj ritual with 18%, followed by 15.1% for Umrah ritual and 10.2% for prayer supplications. The results also indicated attractive 33 common languages used, showing English with most popularity of 27.4%, followed by Arabic and Urdu of 24.3% and 14.3%. In addition, the study specified the most desirable services favoured by the religious guests expressing interesting valuable remarks.

The sample consisted of 113 teachers. This paper depended on one instrument to collect data which is a 25-item, 5-category and closed-answer questionnaire. It addressed five questions concerning usability, motivation, collaboration, vocabulary learning and mobilebased vocabulary instruction (MBVI) versus traditional vocabulary instruction (TVI). The findings revealed that vocabulary m-applications is of great usefulness to vocabulary instruction and learning in general. The teachers considered m-applications simple and usable and preferred MBVI to TVI because of its capabilities and acceptance among students. To effectively use vocabulary m-applications, students should be well trained and classrooms should be more mobile-oriented. Also, teachers must be technically and pedagogically competent. Keywords: Mobile applications, MALL, vocabulary learning, motivation, collaboration, mobile-based vocabulary instruction.

Facilitating Conditions

Business sustainability is a major goal for every entrepreneur, especially women entrepreneurs. The term “business sustainability” refers to efforts that help a company’s long-term growth and competitive edge over its competitors. This study sought to empirically examine the adoption of mobile applications by women entrepreneurs as a means of business sustainability. Using the UTAUT as a theoretical model, this research examined this model and its associated hypotheses by applying structural equation modelling. The survey results from 330 women entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia show that social influence, followed by effort expectancy, has the most significant influence on the behavioural intention to use mobile applications. On the other hand, facilitating conditions were found to be an insignificant predictor of the behavioural intention of women entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia to use mobile applications.
