Abdel-Wahab, Ahmed Gad (2008): Modeling Students' Intention to Adopt E-learning: A Case from Egypt. In The Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries, 34 (1) p. 13

“E-learning is becoming increasingly prominent in higher education, with universities increasing provision and more students signing up. This paper examines factors that predict students' intention to adopt e-learning at the Egyptian University of Mansoura. Understanding the nature of these factors may assist Egyptian universities in promoting the use of information and communication technology in teaching and learning. Data was collected through a survey of 258 first year business students at the University of Mansoura in Egypt. The technology adoption model is utilized in this study. Two more independent variables are added to the original model, namely, the pressure to act and resource availability. The results show that there are five factors that can be used in modelling students' intentions to adopt e-learning. These factors are attitudes toward e-learning, perceived usefulness of e-learning, perceived ease of e-learning use, pressure to use e-learning, and the availability of resources needed to use e-learning. ”

Abdel-Wahab, Ahmed Gad (2008): Modeling Managers' Intentions to Adopt Telecommuting in a Developing Country: A Case from Egypt. In The Electronic Journal of Communication, 18 (1)

“Thousands of companies today appreciate the competitive advantage of telecommuting as an accepted work arrangement in the United States and some other European countries. The main purpose of this article is to explore the possibility of applying telecommuting in Egypt by looking at the factors that affect Egyptian managers' intentions to allow their subordinates to work from home. Understanding the nature of these factors may assist Egyptian organizations to promote telecommuting as an alternative to working in the office or at the job site. Original data were collected by using a self-administered questionnaire. A sample of 240 Egyptian information managers in Dakahlia Governorate completed the questionnaires with usable data. The results revealed that managers' attitudes toward telecommuting, pressure to use telecommuting, perceived usefulness of telecommuting and the availability of the required technology are important factors in predicting managers' intentions to adopt telecommuting. The results also revealed that although the pressures to adopt telecommuting are high, the weak ICT infrastructure and the shortages of IT experts are possible reasons for the current lack of telecommuting diffusion in Egyptian organizations. ”

Abdel-Wahab, Ahmed Gad (2007): Employees' attitudes towards Telecommuting. An empirical investigation in the Egyptian Governorate of Dakahlia. In Behaviour and Information Technology, 26 (5) pp. 367-375

“Thousands of companies today, in a wide variety of industries, are experiencing the benefits of allowing employees to work from their homes. Telecommuting has become a recognized and accepted work alternative for millions of Americans that has exponentially grown during the past 20 years. The main purpose of this paper is to explore the attitude of the Egyptian information workers towards the concept of telecommuting, and to examine the relationships between such an attitude and workers' expectation of their productivity and job satisfaction if participating in a telecommuting program. Original data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. A national sample of 228 Egyptian information workers in Dakahlia Governorate in Egypt completed the questionnaires with usable data. The results revealed that more respondents are in favor of telecommuting than those who are not in favor of the concept, and that the increase in the attitude score towards telecommuting tends to be paired with higher expectations about telecommuting productivity and satisfaction.”

“ Software design is the act of determining the user's experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user's whole experience. ”
