تأثير أبعاد جودة النظام على الثقة في تبني التجارة الالكترونية من خلال الهاتف المحمول: وجهة نظر العميل الفلسطيني, Fadi Ahmad Herzallah Dr.

Palestine Technical University Research Journal

Several pieces of evidence evince that system quality is closely and importantly related to the use of the system in previous empirical work and studies chiefly in the mobile commerce (M-Commerce) systems. At present, in light of the marketing needs related to services and products, M-Commerce is regarded as the major method and channel to use in this area.

Journal of Response to Writing

However, students’ willingness to critique their texts and those of others is dependent upon the creation of a trusting and mutually supportive learning environment.

Consideration is also paid to teachers’ creation and use of public and private spaces to promote interactions that …
