Barriers in Implementing Electronic Management During the COVID-19 Pandemic Crisis in Jordanian Universities: A Comparative Study Between Public and Private Institutions

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the barriers to the implementation of electronic management during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis in Jordanian universities. It also sought to determine whether there were statistically significant differences in the perceptions of administrative staff in Jordanian universities regarding these barriers, based on the type of institution (public or private). A questionnaire was developed for field survey purposes and to gather the opinions of respondents. A simple random sample consisting of 700 administrative staff members was selected. The study's findings revealed that the extent of barriers to the implementation of electronic management during the COVID-19 pandemic in Jordanian universities was significant. However, no statistically significant differences were observed in the barriers to electronic management implementation between public and private universities
