This study aimed to know the impact of open government data (OGD) on business entrepreneurship from Jordanian Irbid State entrepreneurs' point view. To achieve this, (600) questionnaires were distributed to the sample of Jordanian entrepreneurs in Irbid state and (536) valid questionnaires were recovered. The study indicates that OGD and entrepreneurship had a moderate level. There is a significant statistical effect of OGD on business entrepreneurship (α ≤ 0.05) in Jordanian SMEs Irbid state. At the end researchers recommend government and entrepreneurs to adopt OGD as a strategy to maximize benefits gained from open government data strategy, improve the quality of published data, and recommended entrepreneurs to increase the level of relying on OGD to get information about materials , markets, competitors, legislations and so on to get benefits for their companies.

(sender, message, channel, and feedback) are ideally used by members of the teaching staff
in the Jordanian private universities, the study aims also to measure the effect of the four
communication process elements on student's satisfaction, and finally it aims to determine
the differences of student's satisfaction regarding the communication process elements that
is attributed to their gender and academic level. The study employed the analytical
descriptive approach for data collection and analysis, and the Study’s Population included
the four private universities operating at the Northern region in Jordan; whereas the
sampling unit included undergraduate Business Administration students at the four
universities. A representative sample of all academic levels (n=550) was randomly
selected. The results revealed that the means of the four communication process elements
(sender, message, channel, and feedback) were higher than 3.70 which inferred high degree
of acceptance among surveyed students towards communicating process effectiveness,
whereas the instructor has the highest mean. The results found also that the communication
process elements represent the corner stone in achieving students’ satisfaction. The results
revealed also that there are no statistically significance differences of students’ satisfaction
regarding the communication process elements attributed to their gender or academic level.
Based on the results the researchers recommended giving more attention to all
communication process elements, particularly students’ feedback, to get benefit of their
suggestions and ideas and complaints for future improvements. In addition to that it is
better for Universities to develop clear criteria for attracting and selecting qualified
instructors and they must be provided after hiring with continuous training courses in
modern teaching methods.

Preface
تتسارع في الألفية الثالثة ثورة معرفية وتكنولوجية لا ترأف بالمتخلفين عنها أو الغافلين عن أهميتها حاضراً أو مستقبلاً، وملامح نظام عالمي جديد بدأت تتشكل أبعاده في ظل عالم تلاشت الحدود بين دوله؛ بفعل التغيرات المتسارعة في عناصر البيئة الداخلية والخارجية، والنمو الكبير في تقنيات وأدوات وأساليب الاتصال، وانتشار المعرفة؛ الأمر الذي جعل المنظمات على اختلافها أمام تحديات كبيرة في البقاء والنمو وتحقيق الميزة التنافسية من خلال المزج الصحيح بين مواردها المختلفة والتي يعتبر الإنسان أهمها، حيث تعتمد كفاءة الانجاز لعناصر الإنتاج مجتمعة على كفاءة العنصر البشري المستخدم باعتباره خياراً استراتيجياً لإنجاح المنظمة والعمل.
هذه التغيرات التي عظمت من الدور الفاعل الذي يلعبه الانسان على مستوى المنظمة؛ ضاعفت الاهتمام بالعنصر البشري كمورد هام من موارد المنظمة سواءً من خلال الاختيار أو التأهيل والتنمية والتطوير ليتواءم مع المتغيرات المتسارعة في البيئتين الداخلية والخارجية التي تنعكس على الأعمال والوظائف القائمة في المنظمة.
وعليه، فقد دأب رواد الفكر الاداري المعاصر على الاهتمام بالموارد البشرية من خلال البحث والدراسة والتنقيب عن كل ما من شأنه أن يعظم الدور الإنساني ويزيد من كفاءة وفاعلية العنصر البشري سواءً كان ذلك على المستوى الأكاديمي (التعليمي) من ناحية أو على مستوى إدارة المنظمات (التطبيقي) من ناحية أخرى، وقد استطاعت المنظمات التي تبنت عملية الاهتمام بالعنصر البشري وتفعيله من تحقيق نجاحات كبيرة على مختلف مستويات المنظمة والدولة؛ الأمر الذي عزز من مبدأ الاستثمار بالإنسان على المستوى المجتمعي وبالعاملين على المستوى التنظيمي، وذلك من خلال تبني أساليب إدارية توفر للأفراد فرص النمو والتنمية وتعزز قدراته وتوجهاته نحو العمل وتضمن له الحقوق الوظيفية المختلفة التي توفر له حياة كريمة تحسن وتعظم من إنجازه كماً ونوعاً؛ نظراً لما تحققه هذه النظم من تجذير لعوامل الرضا تجاه العمل وربطها مع مؤشرات القدرة، حيث تدور رحى المنظمات حول الموارد البشرية بتحقيق هدفين رئيسين تنبثق عنهما مجموعة من الأهداف الفرعية، نأتي إلى تفصيلهما من خلال عرض محتويات هذا الكتاب، وهذان العنصران هما القدرة والرغبة، ولقد جاء هذا الكتاب ليسلط الضوء على أهمية العنصر البشري ودوره كعنصر مهم من عناصر العملية الإنتاجية وينسجم مع التوجهات العالمية في التركيز على الإنسان لتحسين مستوى معيشته أولاً ومستوى أدائه ومخرجاته ثانياً، حيث يقع هذا الكتاب في أحد عشرفصلاً تراوحت بين التخطيط للموارد البشرية وعمليات الاستقطاب والتعيين والتدريب والتقييم والحماية، آملين أن يشكل هذا النتاج الفكري إضافة نوعية إلى المكتبىة العربية، يتيح للزملاء، والمدرسين، والطلبة، والمهتمين بموضوع الموارد البشرية المادة المناسبة التي نأمل أن تثري دراساتهم وأبحاثهم وبرامجهم التعليمية والتدريبية، ونترك المجال مفتوحاً لمزيد من الإضافات والتعديلات على محتواه انطلاقاً من إيماننا الراسخ بمبدأ التجديد والتحديث النابع من مجريات التغير المستمر في الظروف البيئية المحيطة والتغيير الهادف نحو التطور.
والحمد لله رب العالمين على فضله العظيم ونعمه التي لا تعد ولا تحصى، إنه نعم المولى ونعم النصير

هذه التغيرات التي عظمت من الدور الفاعل الذي يلعبه الانسان على مستوى المنظمة؛ ضاعفت الاهتمام بالعنصر البشري كمورد هام من موارد المنظمة سواءً من خلال الاختيار أو التأهيل والتنمية والتطوير ليتواءم مع المتغيرات المتسارعة في البيئتين الداخلية والخارجية التي تنعكس على الأعمال والوظائف القائمة في المنظمة.
وعليه، فقد دأب رواد الفكر الاداري المعاصر على الاهتمام بالموارد البشرية من خلال البحث والدراسة والتنقيب عن كل ما من شأنه أن يعظم الدور الإنساني ويزيد من كفاءة وفاعلية العنصر البشري سواءً كان ذلك على المستوى الأكاديمي (التعليمي) من ناحية أو على مستوى إدارة المنظمات (التطبيقي) من ناحية أخرى، وقد استطاعت المنظمات التي تبنت عملية الاهتمام بالعنصر البشري وتفعيله من تحقيق نجاحات كبيرة على مختلف مستويات المنظمة والدولة؛ الأمر الذي عزز من مبدأ الاستثمار بالإنسان على المستوى المجتمعي وبالعاملين على المستوى التنظيمي، وذلك من خلال تبني أساليب إدارية توفر للأفراد فرص النمو والتنمية وتعزز قدراته وتوجهاته نحو العمل وتضمن له الحقوق الوظيفية المختلفة التي توفر له حياة كريمة تحسن وتعظم من إنجازه كماً ونوعاً؛ نظراً لما تحققه هذه النظم من تجذير لعوامل الرضا تجاه العمل وربطها مع مؤشرات القدرة، حيث تدور رحى المنظمات حول الموارد البشرية بتحقيق هدفين رئيسين تنبثق عنهما مجموعة من الأهداف الفرعية، نأتي إلى تفصيلهما من خلال عرض محتويات هذا الكتاب، وهذان العنصران هما القدرة والرغبة، ولقد جاء هذا الكتاب ليسلط الضوء على أهمية العنصر البشري ودوره كعنصر مهم من عناصر العملية الإنتاجية وينسجم مع التوجهات العالمية في التركيز على الإنسان لتحسين مستوى معيشته أولاً ومستوى أدائه ومخرجاته ثانياً، حيث يقع هذا الكتاب في أحد عشرفصلاً تراوحت بين التخطيط للموارد البشرية وعمليات الاستقطاب والتعيين والتدريب والتقييم والحماية، آملين أن يشكل هذا النتاج الفكري إضافة نوعية إلى المكتبىة العربية، يتيح للزملاء، والمدرسين، والطلبة، والمهتمين بموضوع الموارد البشرية المادة المناسبة التي نأمل أن تثري دراساتهم وأبحاثهم وبرامجهم التعليمية والتدريبية، ونترك المجال مفتوحاً لمزيد من الإضافات والتعديلات على محتواه انطلاقاً من إيماننا الراسخ بمبدأ التجديد والتحديث النابع من مجريات التغير المستمر في الظروف البيئية المحيطة والتغيير الهادف نحو التطور.
والحمد لله رب العالمين على فضله العظيم ونعمه التي لا تعد ولا تحصى، إنه نعم المولى ونعم النصير

للاردن عوائد اقتصادية قيمة وخاصة اذا تم استثمارها بالشكل الصحيح ووفق استراتيحيات ادارية وتسويقية وسياحية محكمة
ومدروسة، وكما هدفت الى كشف ابرز المعيقات التي تواجه وزارة السياحة في عملية ادارة التسويق السياحي للموارد السياحية
المختلفة. وتكون مجتمع الدراسة من مدراء مديريات وزارة السياحة في كافة محافظات المملكة الاردنية الهاشمية وبعض
المديريات ذات العلاقة. أما عينة الدراسة فقد اعتمدت على العينه القصدية التي اشتملت على كافة أصحاب القرار المسؤولين
بشكل مباشر عن ادارة وتطوير المواقع السياحية في مناطق المملكة الاردنية الهاشمية المختلفة والبالغ عددهم ( )13ثلاثة عشر
مديرا ومساعد الأمين العام لشؤون المحافظات، وقد اعتمدت الدراسة على المنهج النوعي للوصول الى النتائج. وابرز ما توصلت
اليه الدراسة هو ما يلي:
.1أن معيقات تطوير المواقع السياحية المختلفة في المملكة الاردنية الهاشمية مرتبط بحجم التكاليف التي
تحتاجها المواقع السياحية كالبنية التحتية وتهيئة المواقع السياحية وتوفيلر الخدمات المختلفة فيها وخاصة ان
المواقع السياحية كثيرة ومتباعدة عن بعضها البعض في مناطق المملكة المختلفة.
.2أن الترويج للمواقع السياحية في الاردن ليس من اختصاص وزارة السياحة فحسب، وانما مرتبط ايضا
بمؤسسة حكومية اخرى وهي هيئة تنشيط السياحة، الأمر الذي يؤدي الى ازدواجية في الأداء وتشتت
الجهود.
.3عدم وجود عدالة في توجيه المنح الخارجية والمشاريع التنموية السياحية في المواقع السياحية أو الاقاليم
السياحية الأمر الذي خلق فجوة كبيرة في عملية توزيع المكاسب من الخدمات السياحية والتنموية

Research paper thumbnail of ادارة الابداع والابتكار في منظمات الأعمال

دار الحامد للنشر والتوزيع، عمان، الاردن, 2011

يقومُ الإبداعُ بدورٍ فاعلٍ في حياة المجتمعات عامة وبيئات الأعمال خاصة؛ وعلى مختلف المستويات سواء الفردية أو الجماعية أو المؤسسية، ويلعب دوراً بارزاً مساعداً الإدارة في إجراء تغييراتٍ جوهريةٍ تتمثل بإيجاد مكانةٍ مرموقةٍ للجهة المبدعة، وتحسين الجودة للمنتج أو الخدمة لينسجم مع المتطلبات المتجددة للمنتفعين والمستهلكين.
وتبرز أهميةُ الإبداع في الواقع المعاصر لمختلف أنواع المنظمات، حيث لم يعد مقتصراً على مؤسسات كبيرة أو صغيرة أو هادفة للربح فحسب؛ بل تجاوزه ليشتمل جميع أنواع المؤسسات الأخرى كالحكومية وغير الربحية والتطوعية وغيرها.
وتُعتبر التغيراتُ السريعةُ التي طرأت في العالم المتمثلة في العولمة، والانفتاح على الآخر وإزالة الحدود، والتغيير التنظيمي، والمنافسة الشديدة بين الشركات للاستحواذ على الأسواق والزبائن بمثابة التحدي الحقيقي لمنظمات الأعمال وقادتها، وفرضت عليها واقعاً جديداً ينبغي التعامل والتكيف معه؛ لتتمكن من تحقيق إدارة كفؤه وفاعله قادرة على تجنب المخاطر والفشل، ولتحافظ على البقاء والنمو وتحقيق الأهداف ( Daft, 2001, P.24)؛ .(Daniel & Radebaug, 1998, P.12) وتأكيدا على ذلك يرى بعض المهتمين بأن الإبداع لم يعد حالةً اختياريةً في هذا الوقت أمام قيادة منظمات الأعمال بل أصبح حالةً حتميةً كي تتمكن تلك المنظَّماتُ من التكيُّفِ مع ذلك الواقع وتحقيق النجاح (جواد، 2000، ص. 178).
وقد بات من المُحتَّمِ على المنظَّمات التي تسعى للإبداع أن يكون لها إداراتٌ قادرةٌ على إيجاد نوعٍ من التناغم بين ما تمتلكه المنظمة من معارف وجدارات، وبين التخطيط الإستراتيجي وامتلاك الرؤية الثاقبة لأهداف المنظمة المبدعة وصولاً بها إلى مكانةٍ تنافسيةٍ تُضاهي المنظماتِ المتميزةِ. ولتحقيق تلك المكانة، فإنَّ هناك العديد من الأنشطة أو الممارسات الإدارية سوف نعرضها لاحقاً في هذا الكتاب تعتبر مهمة وداعمة لتحقيق الإبداع والتي يجب على إدارات المنظمات المُبدِعة أن تتبنَّاها وتستخدمها في سياساتها الإدارية، لتجسيدها في الكيان التنظيمي والعملي للمنظَّمة,
وخيرَ ما يمكن الاستشهاد به على بعض النجاحات التي تحقَّقت نتيجةَ تبنِّي أنشطةٍ داعمةٍ للإبداع وإدارتها بحكمةٍ وذكاءٍ، هم اليابانيون والكوريون الذين نجحوا في إخراج بلادهم من أزماتٍ شديدة، وظروفٍ اقتصاديةٍ وسياسيةٍ وإداريةٍ صعبةٍ، مرُّوا بها إلى واقعٍ أفضلَ يحتذي،على الرغم من نُدرة الموارد؛ سوى موردِ الإبداع البشري المُرتَكِزِ إلى الإنتاج العقلي والفكري.
ولتعظيم القدرة على التفاعلِ والاستجابةِ لمتطلَّبات واحتياجات البيئات التنافسية أصبحت المنظماتُ تسعى جاهدةً لإيجاد أرضيةٍ وقاعدةٍ ملائمةٍ لبناء الأنظمة الهادفة إلى توظيف الإبداع التنظيمي وتبنِّي أنشطته على اعتبار أنَّها من المُحرِكاتِ الأساسية نحو تحقيق الأداء الأفضل.
